  Description: a photoblog – images by Keith Kin Yan, inspired by a variety of 'shooting music'
  Comments: Keith's photos are captioned with the "shooting music" – I assume that's the track he was listening to when taking the shot.  So I'm wondering if I start taking some of my favorite music with me when out with my camera, if that might provide just the right inspiration to make it all a bit more creative.  And I'm thinkin' "absolutely!"  In addition to some very cool NY photos in the photoblog archives, it's worth checking out his About page if you wanna explore some music-related sites or other photoblogs.  As a bonus, here's another unrelated site by Keith...

  Description: a visual online diary/log/journal/blog
  Comments: In a recent post she compares pictures of roughly the same scene, one taken with a digital camera, the other with film.  Interesting differences.  There's a year's worth of beautiful photographs in the archives (like this one or this one, for example), browsable by month or category, plus a section of albums (entries with more than 3 photos).  Nice...  [Blogdigger]

  Description: capturing the world
  Comments: There's links and then there's links.  Yesterday's pick has an excellent list of pointers, where I found today's pick.  I've got a feeling Fredrik showed it as a resource because he finds some of his inspiration there (he's also a participant).  19-year-old Gregor Hochmuth, a student in California, is the guy behind the relatively new site.  "Every week, a new pixo calls on photo enthusiasts to take pictures simultaneously around the globe - pictures of a particular situation, a theme, a common-day event, with the emphasis on each photographer's country and location."  The result is an excellent gallery.  The Graffiti in... pixo, for example, brought submissions in from 11 locations in 8 different countries.  This is only week #13 and the site's growing.  Kudos to Greg not only for this neat concept, but for his own cool photoworks too...

  Description: a place for fredrik olsson to put his photos on display - journal of everyday life of a researcher, computational linguist and photo geek
  Comments: Fredrik's most recent pic, taken in Stockholm at night, sure nailed it for me.  I like his larger blogshots and archives browsable by month, camera used, or result (i.e., b/w emulsion or cross-processed slide film).  Fredrik, a computational linguist currently working as a researcher, been taking pictures for only a few years, which you'd never guess from viewing his cool pics...;~))

  Description: the drunken misadventures of Lou and Gabe – a mature webcomic for the immature (Flash)
  Comments: Tasteless.  Absolutely.  Join me today as coolstop reaches new depths with a daily pick just for... err... ummm... drunks.  Wait a minute!  The site is very well designed and has some damn good comic illustrations, thank you.  But the content?  "You guys are twisted.  Keep up the good work!" says one visitor.  Chris, the all-around weirdo does the artwork and Ron, the slick talkin' crazy dude writes the words.  9 exciting episodes in the lives of Lou and Gabe, the professional drunks – there's supposed to be 10 but the boozers musta lost 1 of 'em.  Hic...

  Description: a platform of graphic experiments
  Comments: The site's name translates to Finally Free and I think the two little, playful line-art guys must be David and Philipee.  They're speaking in French, which I don't understand well, but I'm picturing it goes something like this.  "Will they find the menu David?"  "Sure Philippe, but not immediately.  It'll drive 'em crazy."  Well.  It might take Jakob all day to figure it out, but I got it pretty quick (like I said, I was in a hurry).  Here's a clue – Plop.  Figure it out and you're on your way to cool graphics, cheery tunes, and cute cartoons (which I'm sure are even funnier if you can read French).  ... have fun!

  Description: pixels, vectors, and pencil works of jung sang hoon
  Comments: Pixels?  We got pixels.  The main page has has a big piece of pixelart like I've never seen before – yummy!  I believe Jung Sang Hoon hails from somewhere in South Korea, sharing a showcase of extraordinary dotwork, vectorwork, and pencilwork.  And as I'm writing this, I'm listening to So Blue by a band called Ego-Wrappin', downloaded from "Today's Music."  There's another big, tasty pixelwork imagemap in the "favorite" section.  I've got to check out some of the links.  Thank you Dr. Zeeha!

  Description: illustration and animation of Dominik Cymer (Flash)
  Comments: There's three works in "Differences" that say it all, when it comes to illustrator Dominik Cymer's style.  Sweet!  And his Flash skills as seen in "Plastelina" are every bit as cool.  There's 24 entry points to his works to feed your hunger for inspiration.  "Stukpuk" works for me...

  Description: signs of the city
  Comments: Marc's list of favorite streets include some in Paris, Strasburg, and his current home, rua Barão de São Francisco, Rio de Janeiro.  "I firmly believe that one can learn much and distract oneself with all the details from our daily environment which, because of tiredness, lack of time or from force of habit, pass unnoticed."  I think my growing interest in street art has a lot to do with that.  The streets are full of "images, sounds and smells," says Marc, what he calls the street's wealth.  The site is intended to "arouse your curiosity" and promote "a new form of urban tourism."  Marc's bigtime interest in the details of ordinary streets shines through in "Eye on the Street."  From advertising on trees to Detroit and Harlem of the 70s to graphic cities like Brussels, it's a superb visual magazine of urban things.
