Street Kids photo series by Adam Taylor
Reader Find
Street Kids is a portraiture series by photographer Adam Taylor that captures the gruelling hardships young people face while living on the streets. His initial shooting in New York City was so successful that he headed to Sydney to discover the same problem: a generation of youth missing a sense of belonging because they are the fall-outs of social and economic change. Where else can they go other than congregating in the city every night to find solace?

Contributor
Now THIS is a pop-up. Thanks to the collaborative team — ‘a razor, a shiny knife‘ — a group of unassuming, and lucky, diners enjoyed a six-course haute cuisine luncheon served aboard New York’s L train. Words do not do the concept justice. So have a watch.

I’m really digging the sleek and sophisticated look of these websites created by Pomade, a multi-disciplinary design studio based in New York City. They use simple yet innovative design combined with intuitive interfaces and the perfect amount of whimsy and edge, depending upon the project.
