Google Street View Photographer
Now the inhabitants of Paris can find themselves in Michael Wolf’s artistic take on the Google mapping project. And he’s retrieved some lovely moments of people and things caught for a single arbitrary moment on a particular day in the city.
By way of an explantion of his intentions with the Paris Street View project, thingsmagazine offers this quote from Wolf: “The problem is that compared to Asia, Paris is a stagnant city – very little has changed architecturally since Atget’s times, and the cliches are a nightmare to get out from under of. Strangely enough, it was Google Street View which enabled me to take any photos at all of Paris.
“I spent weeks going through the city on my monitor, street by street, looking into windows, discovering reflections, searching out interesting juxtapositions, topologies, trying various crops/styles (Frank, Doisneau, Ruscha, and so on). The lack of a third dimension wore me down at times, but it was quite an interesting journey.”
Check out some more of his beautiful pictures after the jump.

Recycled Toy Sculptures
Robert Bradford creates his life-size and larger-than-life sculptures of humans and animals from discarded plastic items, mainly toys but also other colorful plastic bits and pieces, such as combs and buttons, brushes and parts of clothes pegs.
Bradford says he likes the idea that the plastic pieces have a history, some unknown past, and that they also pass on a “cultural” history as each of the pieces represents a point in time. Recycling is not his primary concern, but each sculpture certainly keeps quite a few places from becoming landfill. Some of the sculptures contain pieces from up to 3,000 toys.
