Amazing find #1: The architecture of John Lautner, which I found about thanks to my daily e-mail from the New York Times. This link goes to the story and this one goes to the slideshow. “Bonding Humanity and Landscape,” the (partial) title of the article, is an apt description of Lautner’s vision and talent.
Amazing find #2: Esref Armagan, whom I found about thanks to Fark. Armagan, a Turkish painter, has been blind his entire life — he was born without eyes. This link goes to the site in the Fark snippet; this one goes to a Web site about Armagan.
