India through the lens of Steve McCurry


The Rubin Museum of Art in New York is currently displaying stunning photos of India—its landscapes, people, architecture, and street scenes—by renowned American photographer Steve McCurry. "[I was drawn to] the depth of culture here," he told TIME. "The visual chaos, the endless variety of dramatic cheek-by-jowl juxtapositions it affords: modernity and tradition, the haves and have-nots, the usual and the bizarre." The exhibition is on display through April 4, 2016.

Steve's exhibit also corresponds to the release of his new book, India, which features "150 previously unpublished images taken across the subcontinent, along with iconic photographs that are famous worldwide." Here's a preview of some of the images on show.

This cafe in Tokyo looks like it's from a cartoon

The interior of this newly-opened tea house in Tokyo's Shin Okubo district is designed to look like a two-dimensional cartoon. From doors and walls, to tables and chairs, each item inside the 2D Cafe is painted in plain white with soft, black edges. The restaurant offers milk tea, tapioca, coffee, fruit juices, and shaved ice desserts. The only thing that I don't like about the cafe is the space. The tables are so close together that you can hear the most private details of strangers' lives whether you care to or not.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

Stripper Shirt

Love this Gitman Bros. short sleeve shirt , especially the stripe/pole pattern with blue female dancers.  [h/t: TWBE ]
