Max Cardelli’s photos of Havana via everyday i show.

The wonderful CK/CK shared this photograph, taken near London in November of 1942. Breaking between missions flying machines less sophisticated than a contemporary car in a war of annihilation with a nearby and superior enemy, a pilot breaks for a haircut, reading, and a pipe. The insistence on the accouterments of culture, on leisure —the book and pipe, of course, but also the nearly formal attire of the barber and the pattern of the sheet wrapped around his shoulders— seems so British, so laudable, so impossible to imagine today for innumerable reasons one hardly has the energy even to consider.

While I’m super glad that gotemcoach brought this amazing photo of Lob City to my attention, I wish that they would have a) credited the photographer (Noah Graham for Getty Images) and b) left their logo off of it (or at least provided a link to a clean version).  I love you, Got ‘Em Coach, but I hate that you brand other people’s awesome work.

Jiang @ Capital Steel by Buddha1098 on Flickr.  “Shougang, Beijing Capital Steel Factory 首钢 is located on the west side of Beijing. Due to the Olympics, the government decided in 2005 to move the factory to Tangshan, Hebei Province. What remains is the shell of what used to be Beijing’s most secure workplace. Working there meant having an “iron rice bowl,” insurance, food, and benefits from cradle to death.”
