The Narrow House

June 30th, 2010 by james in Architectural Design, Photo

Design can be so effective in stretching your head or those around you. The use of color, light and shadow here just made my day. Great design. Would move in tomorrow. Well, would love to sit in the street at night and look in. Is that creepy?

Google Maps and Video of The Trans-Siberian Railway

February 17th, 2010 by james in Film, Me, Web fodder

You have to have a look at this google site. I caught it via the Guardian

It is the “virtual journey“ marriage of 150 hours of video and mapping the Trans-Siberian Rails.

Going to have to get a nice bottle of vodka, some black bread, dill and cheese and reminisce.

Hold On

June 28th, 2009 by james in Art, Film, Me, Music, Photo

This photo I shot today was inspired by the documentary Scott Walker – 30 Century Man. It is the first photo in a series I am interested in developing called Hold On.

You can view this splendid Stephen Kijak film on DVD or stream it online via Netflix.

If you dig Brian Eno, David Bowie, Radiohead, any sort of Avant-garde music, see where they got their inspiration. Here is some more info at IMDB and Wiki.
