Humans of New York.

From the project’s creator, Brandon: “I thought it would be really cool to create an exhaustive catalogue of the city’s inhabitants so I set out to photograph 10,000 New Yorkers and plot their photos on a map. I worked for several months with this goal in mind. But somewhere along the way, HONY began to take on a much different character. I started collecting quotes and short stories from the people I met, and began including these snippets alongside the photographs… HONY now provides a worldwide audience with daily glimpses into the lives of strangers in New York City.”

You thought your workspace was awesome? Not as awesome as Justin Kemp, I’m afraid. The Massachusetts-based art assistant has installed a sand pit for his feet to rest whilst he works away. His “Surfing with the Sand Between My Toes” concept consists of a wooden box lined with plastic on the bottom, filled with sand. This brilliant concept keeps Justin’s toes feeling great and allows for a relaxing environment to work in.

Justin explains his unconventional work place to us, “The sand is relaxing, but for me, it’s more a symbol of my permanent vacation. It’s the design of a lifestyle where ‘work’ becomes so satisfying that vacation and retirement become undesirable. It’s a permanent state of chill.”
