Allan Barnes + Ulorin Vex
Allan Barnes makes tintypes, a photographic process from the late 19th century. These are some images via the wet-plate collodion process with my favorite model, the gorgeous Ulorin Vex, as the subject.




There’s a post on Allan Barnes’ tintypes on the Coilhouse blog over here. Below the cut are just a couple more of his photos that I like:

Kouichi Kimura’s “House of Vision”
I love this house designed by Kouichi Kimura in 2008, located near Shiga, Japan. It’s so elegant, and I wish I could live in a house just like this. Someone pointed out that it’s a bit “aseptic”-feeling, but in a good way, like they’d feel safe there, and I totally understand their meaning. I think it’s partly due to how sparingly furnished the house is in the pictures, but it really does give an impression of just spacious emptiness. I think it’s beautiful, though. Minimalist yet luxurious at the same time, utterly modern and sleek, interesting all around. It’s one of my dream homes.

Alexander McQueen
I like a lot of the pieces from Alexander McQueen’s last, Pre-Fall 2010 collection. Check them out below (pictures via Haute Macabre):
