It's easy to find desolation in Los Angeles, if you get up early enough. It's not a late night town.
I remember the first time I'd ever seen a coyote in person was on Hollywood Boulevard about 4:45 in the morning. It was just walking down the Walk of Fame, not a care in the world.
For about 3 and a half years, between 2008 and 2019, I lived all over Los Angeles County. I've been to every location Christopher Thomas photographs in his series, Lost In L.A., but I've never seen it presented like this. Wonderful stuff and lots more behind those links.
Breathtaking home in Jakarta, designed by StudioRK.
Everything is spot on, from the design, to the flooring and railings, door handles and fixtures. The tapestries and artwork, the plants... stunning space.
Here's the full tour:
The Four Thieves Vinegar Collective is an anarchist collective dedicated to enabling access to medicines and medical technologies to those who need them but don’t have them.
I urge you to read this fascinating piece about them at 404 Media.
EnsĹŤ is a writing tool that helps you enter a state of flow.
Basically, you write, and EnsĹŤ only allows you to see the most recent lines you've typed. The previous words become invisible so you're not tempted go back and make changes. The Backspace button on your keyboard works, but the arrows don't. So, if you are tempted to go back, you're deleting, not moving the cursor to make changes.
Done writing? Hit the download button in the top left of the screen and a txt file of what you've written drops into your documents folder. Easy-peasy.
It's free on the web, or there's a pay-for-it app. The only thing missing is a Dark Mode.
Nobody Reads Ads is "a small archive of old and new print & outdoor ads + ONE thing each ad does well. Curated and snackable copywriting breakdowns by Miguel Ferreira."
Matthew Hansel's killing it with these colorful nightmares, a series he calls Me, My Shadow and All Our Friends.

Cody Ellington's extraordinary nighttime photography of Japan thrills me, probably because I suck at nighttime pictures.
More pictures are on Ellington's Webflow site and a list of his other projects is here.
He's also a collaborator on Wander the Night.
The Canadian National Exhibition is open 18 days per year at the end of the Toronto summer. Final day for 2024 is today, September 2, Labour Day. Kristan Klimczak is down there right now taking photos of CNE visitors, just as she's done every day it's run since 2015.
The facial expressions on the Ex's visitors and employees pretty much sum up my thoughts of the event, which explains why I haven't been back since 1982. Cement, heat, lack of shade, terrible food, crazy prices, and crowds. It's hard for me to think of any place I'd rather not be. Love the photos, though!

Absolutely floored by Ashley Suszczynski's work exploring "ancient traditions in the modern day."
Kukeri, Kolarovo Village, Petrich Municipality, Blagoevgrad Province, Bulgaria (both)

From Suszczynski's site, which is correctly named Really Good Pictures:
Ashley Suszczynski is an award-winning travel photographer based in Wilmington, Delaware, USA, focused on capturing ancient traditions in the modern day. She aims to tell the story of how lesser known cultures, relics, rites, and rituals have withstood time and evolved in our ever-changing world. Through visual storytelling, she hopes to share knowledge and understanding of these age-old customs in order to continue their preservation and social approval.
Stunning work. More on the site.
