Rachel's Collection

This is definitely one of my favorite collections so far!

• This site is really great! It's a little peak into Rachel's life and it's like a whole other world. I really enjoy reading the posts about all the different fruits that aren't native to NY.

• The sketchbook project is actually a really cool idea. I would totally participate in it if it wasn't so expensive. I've seen other projects with the same concept going on, for free, somewhere on the internet, but I doubt they are as successful.

• I've seen Eric Valli's work floating around the internet for some time now. But, I still find his photos completely breathtaking. It's amazing how these people live in these super harsh environments such as the Himalayas and get by without the use of modern technology. In fact, I'm absolutely jealous of their capability to do so (and Eric's ability to have this amazing experience of having such a close view into their lives)

• Too good. This definitely ruined a few songs for me I think my favorite was the Biz Markie cat.

• This is really interesting to see after looking at Eric Valli's photos. So, I guess the cool thing now is to take pictures of "foreign" cultures. But I find myself not as drawn to these photos as opposed to Valli's. I guess it's the really shitty Urban Outfitters, Holga camera effects on every picture.

• This site was really cool. Until there were posts about TERRIFYING SPIDERS. NOPE. NO THANK YOU. definitely done with that site. I'll stick to cat pictures.

• Um, excuse me, this is awesome. I totally want to work on an organic farm! I'm very surprised that the closest one to my house is in New Rochelle, of all places.
