Amazing photography by Elias Tahan

Not a bad shot in here. Great work.

The art of French Pharmaceutical Advertising

I recently picked up a copy of Baseline magazine (an international typography magazine) and saw these great images. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, remedies for various real and imagined physical and psychological maladies were routinely hawked using miracle claims. By the early twenties though, the big drug companies started waging war with the phonies and the result was greater governmental scrutiny. Even so, I love the magical nature of these ad campaigns.

• Rainbows

  

  Rainbows. I made these images around the Seattle area in 2007.

• Vanishing America

  

  Images signage and architecture from America's yesteryear.

• Cadillac

  

  Old cars. I love all cars but this old cadillac got my attention, almost as if it days from expiration.

• Old stamps

  

  Old European stamps Someone game me a tin of old stamps. I loved the look of them and decided to scan a few to share.
