1. I read the Real Estate section of The New York Times religiously, and my favorite feature is the "What You Get..." series, which documents properties at a specific price all over the country. The latest installment,
What You Get for $600,000 has an especially swanky find in Miami.
2. Ben and I have recently been discussing the concept of "Christian Humanism", and he found
this powerful article articulating the concept that, "
Those who are pro-life and pro-family should have no problem being pro-human." The author, Glenn Stanton, works for Focus on the Family, which is not an organization you will usually find us referring to, but this piece is worth reading twice.
3. If I were going to have a baby, and then spend $236 on 50 designer announcements, these would be the ones.

a. I love photographers' blogs, but few have as good of insights into the life of a photojournalist as Justin Mott's. Justin is a photographer based in Hanoi, Vietnam and
his recent post about whether or not humanitarian photojournalism can actually make a difference is a great read accompanied by gorgeous images.
b. Such a large portion of modern photography is sharp, polished and predictable, which is why
this collections of images from photographer Christopher Anderson are some of my recent favorites. He took a plastic "toy camera" with him on assignments around the
world and these images are the result.
c. Banksy is an English graffiti artist whose humorous, striking and typically anti-establishment work covers the streets of London. My
favorite installment, however, is from an exhibition in a Los Angeles warehouse. The "elephant in the room" represents society's intentional ignorance of poverty.
