I Heart Photograph


This photo blog was started a few years back by Laurel Ptak. Her beautifully curated site has landed her other gigs, including curating several gallery shows in New York. Whether you're looking to become known for your sense of style, architecture or photography in Ptak's case, using a blog can be a good way to focus your taste as well as deeper conceptual and artistic interests.

Also, check out this recently completed competition called Sukkah City. The competition used the idea of the Sukkah - a traditional Jewish structure built during the festival of Sukkot - as a point of conceptual departure. Traditionally the structure is meant to symbolize a modest place of respit and shelter. The competition had entries from U.S. and international architects and architecture students. Finalists were on display in New York's Union Square September 19th through October 2nd.
