I think we're all a little creepy...

So, I'm sure we are all guilty of it, I know I am, but I still think it's a bit creepy...what is it? Simply put, it is surfing the internet, but more specifically, it's mining people's photos for interesting images/products. With all of the social networking and photo-sharing sites out there, image availability is overwhelming.

While I think it's creepy how easily we can view images of other people's life, I do admit to taking part in this practice regularly. Be it a personal moment, an everyday situation, or a compromising position, the whole world is privy to your images. Of course, there are ways to protect yourself and your images, but when you are trying (or already have) emerged into the world of photography or design you want to get your images out there.

It was through social network and image mining, that my three new, favorite finds came to my attention. All of this started the other night when my boyfriend called me over to his computer to show me a picture he'd found in a mess of "car shoot weekend" photos on a friend's facebook. Anyway the image is of a young lady in a bikini on a boat, and the reason my boyfriend was showing it too me was because he thought I'd like the bikini– and he's RIGHT! I love the bikini!!!

So, I started looking for it. I started to google every combination of words the I could think of to describe the bikini, but alas I could not find it (if anyone out there happens to know where I can find this bikini, please let me know). While I didn't find the suit, I'm still hopefully that I will, and, along the way, I found two other cool things.

At one point I was searching "pixel bikini" in Google images and I found the most amazing couch. EVER. This couch is serious business.

It is designed by Cristian Zuzunaga, and is a part of a whole series of different pixelated furniture, fabric, and art. I just love it, but then a part of me looks at it and wonders where it will stand ten years from now; classic, almost like Burberry, of tacky, like too much animal print? Anyway, at the moment, I love it. Have I said that?

So, while prowling the internet for the important information about the above mentioned couch,  I kept finding references to The Cool Hunter. After finding the source of the couch, I decided to peruse The Cool Hunter and see what all the fuss is about. It only took seconds for me to understand why so many people love this blog! Amazing site! The Cool Hunter has official become my second followed blog!

Well, that's all for now! More soon. Thanks for reading!
