Here are Today’s images.






















































TODAY is a weekly jewel box of seemingly random, yet thoughtfully selected, images. At times tender, wicked, nostalgic, amusing, and dazzling, each edition is presented without narration, editing or explanation by its author, designer Eric Baker. "It all began as a goof. One day I sent a good friend about 50 random pictures of cheese. I don't know why, but to me cheese is funny, perhaps it is the word itself and its various connotations. Eventually I began looking closer, or should I say broader at 'things'. Things lost on the fringes...ordinary, odd, beautiful things. Esoteric images, old diagrams, typography, cartography — visions of a once promising but now extinct future."

Editor's Note: All images link to their original source and are copyright their original owners.

Love the images, especially the one of Jack Kerouac. Which if you were not aware is from a series of studio portraits shot by Tom Polumbo around 1960. I had the privilege of using several of these shots in a project I worked on "One Fast Move Or I'm Gone", you can take a look at: http://zachmattheus.com/kerouac
