Huge Dynamics

My first attempts with HDR (high dynamic range) imaging. I can set my camera to AEB (auto exposure bracketing) to quick fire three simultaneous shots which take a range of under, over and correctly exposed. Then using a plugin filter for photoshop, Photomatix, the three images are merged to form a single photo.

BENT makes two excellent music videos

Thom York 'Harrowdown Hill' utilizes the whole tilt shift miniature effect plus a bit of time lapse.

Modest Mouse 'Whale Song' , has a delicious mixture of live-action, animation, stop motion and stereographic techniques. The overall result is poetic, clever and extremely surreal.

Hopeless Romanticism

When it comes to movies I can be a very emotional person, and lately that means quite a few tears...


The Capulet Crypt; possibly the most beautiful place I've never been.
from Romeo + Juliet -1996 film by Baz Luhrmann


I saw the new film (500) days of Summer over the weekend- an anti-romantic comedy which has that bittersweet way about it that I hate to love. With an epic soundtrack too.

If anything, it reminded me a little of Gardenstate - its loss of innocence, coming of age and unrequitted love in a strange and funny way.

And this short film, The Water, initially intended as a music video for the song 'the water' by Feist is weird and beautiful. Bear with the silence (it lasts the first 10 minutes) because its worth it. I'm not sure how to interpret it completely, but perhaps that is what makes it so appealing.

Bits and pieces through the plastic viewfinder

A couple of scanned negatives from my latest 35mm film in 120 backed holga.

This one is inspired by Amanda's holga photo in her mirror...

I still <3 Spring!

I <3 Springtime

So I finally did it; got my very own CAMERA! and wow is it a camera... the Canon 50D in all its mag alloy bodied glory with its ridiculously huge ISO.. i love it. so much. Me and my camera went on a trip yesterday while the sun was shining and captured a few of the little things we love about spring.

Röyksopp 'What Else Is There?'

Like a Lynchian take on The Wizard of Oz, and partly reminicent of a Bjork video, this is just generally haunting and beautiful.

Saiman Chow 'Summer Of Love'

Some amazingly executed drawings by illustrator Saiman Chow. The soft shading and pastel colours offset the fetishic nature of it and it appears more romantised, bittersweet.
Are we not all animals after all?

New Life Drawings

From this morning. I was a bit rusty, but I think I found my niche with heavy vivid pen drawings.
