A Limerick photographer is continuing his mission to track down a young boy he photographed in the city some 40 years ago, as the image will be used on the front cover of his forthcoming book.

Gerry Andrews, whose exhibition ‘Shaped by History – Limerick in the 1970s’ – continues to run in the Hunt Museum, has identified virtually all the people he photographed decades ago in this iconic display. However, the identity of the young boy still eludes him.

“A lot of people have said to me there’s a look of sadness in his eyes, but I like to think that it’s a look of hope. Life was all ahead of him and I’d love to know what happened him. His eyes would just capture your heart.”

And behind a few of us too.

Every five years, friends John Wardlaw, John Dickson, Mark Rumer, Dallas Burney and John Molony meet up at Copco Lake in California to recreate a group photo first taken in 1982, complete with props, poses and inscrutable teen expressions.

“We plan on doing this for the rest of our lives, no matter what,” said Dickson. “Up until there’s one guy just sitting in the same pose! Even then, maybe someone will take a picture of an empty bench for us.”

Behold: the new ‘average-guy’ friendly layout at a branch of Westside Market at the corner of 110th and Broadway, NYC. It’s actually an ‘end cap’ as opposed to a full aisle, but that’s part of its genius. CEO Ian Joskowitz tells the New York Post:

“If you’re going to have some guys over to watch a game, you can pretty much stand here — not move two feet — and get your beer, barbecue sauce, chips, whatever. It’s all right here!”

Condoms and jerky both within easy reach.

These people know what they’re at.

Manufacturer and Etsy seller Brian Griffin (no, really) sez of this ox-blood,
hand-formed, leather skull clutch bag purse:

Very close to a full size human skull. I must point this out. This is first and foremost a work of art. It will hold small items but I do not advise packing it like a regular purse.
