This is a very interesting non-photo photo project — Unphotographable.com. The site catalogs, in words, photographer Michael David Murphy’s missed photos, the ones he wishes he had taken but didn’t, for all those reasons that photos are not captured.

Kirsty Hall’s Diary Project

Yamaguchi — Tue, 14 Aug 2007 05:56:25 +0000

Kirsty Hall is currently involved in a year long mail art project — The Diary Project. She’s drawing on the outside of an envelope, putting something secret inside, and mailing it to herself each day for all of 2007. The envelopes will remain unopened until they can be exhibited as a whole artwork, at which point members of the public will be invited to unseal the envelopes and reveal what is inside of them. Once unsealed, the contents of the envelopes will be posted on the The Diary Project site. Right now at the site you can view the beautiful artwork drawn on the outside of the envelopes. Very cool project! (Which, by the way, I discovered through the What’s Your Project Flickr group — Thanks for posting to the group!)

Keaggy Loves Sandwiches

Yamaguchi — Tue, 14 Aug 2007 05:40:10 +0000

And he’s spreading the love with his month long tribute to the glory of a good sandwich. He’s designated August as National Sandwich Month, and you can follow his progress here as he documents his celebration of the sandwich (by making sure he eats a good one every day). Now, I’m off to make and then eat a really good sandwich, which is exactly what you’ll do after visiting Keaggy’s site. (Be sure to also check out Keaggy’s excellent Milk Eggs Vodka book).
