Taken from Thinking for a Living: Throughout his travels in the United States, Düsseldorf-based photographer Josef Schulztook pictures of along the highways. He later digitally manipulated these images of signage to remove their message, reducing them to sculptural form. Each sign seems to be waiting to tell you something.

Just bought my new headphones from this guy. They’re handmade in Brooklyn and wrapped in the worst product packaging I’ve ever seen. That’s the charm, though. These guys make headphones - they don’t sell a lifestyle. These aren’t head-accessories. These aren’t sponsored by Dr. Dre, Lady Gaga, or sold in Best Buys and Apple stores. They are simply headphones and you can only find them at audio shoppes.
