Porcelain Pistols by Berlin artist Yvonne Lee Schultz. From her site:

The Porcelain Pistols are replicas of James Bond’s Walther PPK and its contemporary sister, the P99, with friendly permission of Carl Walther Inc. The fragile weapon, hand-painted in the style of classic tableware motifs, lies next to your coffee and cake, asking to be picked up. Its coolness and comfortable grip increase the qualms of the user, leaving him in a quandary between the pleasure of luxury and violence.

Days with My Father is a contemplative and incredibly moving photographic journal, documenting Philip Toledano’s relationship with his aging father over a span of three years.

Two years ago, I posted about the site. I am excited to share that the complete project is now available as a book.

Also, here is a video of Mr. Toledano talking about the work on CNN.

(Thank you, Phil)
