Bad times - Good vids
Boom Bankruptcy for Annie Leibovitz
why haven't i heard about this
yes, i do go on perezhilton.com because its funny no matter how awful it is
2 videos that i cannot stop watching
This is by far my favorite music video, so well filmed, so well executed, inspirational realy, good song too.
no its not a hoax or anything, it was real (apart form the very end obviously) they are naked, they are in new york, nuts!
Matt & Kim’s new single ‘Lessons Learned’
Ghost of a Thousand's new video, awesome song, realy regret not going to see them when they played at ibar in Bournemouth
This is god awful, but its so catchy its unreal, i cannot stop watching it & im surprised its not in the charts
Need to share
More cool things i clearly need to share>
The Abduzeedos updates have been amazing recently, my favorite thing has to be The Incredibly Great Tree Houses
And the Evolution of Mobile Phone Design
I remember my Dad having a Nokia 8810 as his first mobile
Mobile phones ive owned from that list are Nokia 5110, 5210, 3210, 3310, 8310, 3510i, 7600 (which i still had until like 2 years ago) & an N73
Mobile phones used to be awful, but to be honest i think all phones are extremely ugly, you will never find a truly beautiful mobile phone, it just won't happen.
It won't be long until the iphone (which now has 35,000 apps available for it) is 3mm thick with an OLED screen made from liquid glass so you can just fold it up & put it anywhere.
Old but still relevant
Looking through tons of old photos on Flickr
Here is a Project i did last year.
Over about a month or maybe more i took a photo of my legs pretty much everywhere i went if i had my camera & tbh i don't know why i stopped doing it, cos ive been some realy interesting places since, may start it up again soon.
i totally miss this
working at Ride mag was the best thing ever, no pressure, just fun times, wish they hadn't been eaten by the corporate monster
Old Designs i found too
Here is one of my favorites, but, i spelt a word wrong, oops
Heres Byron the Rabbit
Favorite character i have ever done
which reminds me i have more on the way...
This is of Dylan, who i don't see enough of
i probably put more time & effort into this than any design i've ever done

Love for Flickr

Other cool things include

Flickrs been good viewing today
This Testimonial made me laugh a fair bit
3 things
1. When summers over & we are back into the great monsoon season we get in the uk for far too many months i am defiantly going to buy a Light-saber Umbrella! best thing i've seen this week, not so useful right now though.
2. I know its on the Flickr Blog but i bet half of you haven't seen it yet, i love it, 2 photographers spent a weekend in london to take 1000 portraits each, see for yourself
3. Ive been wrong for so long.
"Dogs are not color blind - they see color, but their chromatic acuity is significantly less than humans'. This is for two reasons: (1) dogs have far fewer cone cells in their retina (cone cells are responsible for seeing color); and (2) dogs are dichromatic (they see only two primary colors - blue and yellow) whereas humans are trichromatic, meaning we see three primary colors - red, blue, and green."
Mr Fox
On the way back from photographing at the secret party last night i met this little ginger ball of mischief, drunkards chased him away.

Knowlton Church
I went up to Knwolton Church just before sunset & waited aroud for some nice light to get these shots.
Used wireless flash for both of them to get a good balance with the background & foreground.
Smoke & Flowers
Tried doing smoke trails for the first time
was pretty fun, in my lounge at 3am, this weekends been weird
Used a snooted Canon 540EZ from the right @ 1/8th power against a black background, inverted the images in photoshop then added different gradient overlays
This flower is in my garden, i love the colour of it
taken in the day with a 50mm 1.8 lens
taken at night with a ringflash
Countryside
Here are reasons in the form of images as to why living in the countryside is awesome!
(because views, trees, small cows & my dog are all great)
Death of the original?
I'd say its the death of the original Polaroid camera this week after Polaroid release the worlds first
instant print digital camera 'Polaroid 2'
- costs £230
- takes SD & SDHC cards
- capable image size of 3072x2304 Pixels
- 3-inch LCD
- 18 shooting modes
- movie mode
Delivers a 2x3 print in under 60 seconds & it uses Zero Ink (Zink) Technology which Polaroid says is the equivalent of instant film.
Farewell old Polaroid 1
Mixtapes
4 mixtapes that have kept my ears filled with tunes whilst i was ill all last week & whilst ive been designing & editing all this weekend.

Found Stuff
My internets been down for 2 days now, this has got to me due to being awake for the majority of the weekend & having no access to anything on the world wide web.
So ive had to resort to reading magazines, found some unbelievably cool stuff though
Like this lego MP3 player
These Cancer research charity T-shirts
& these Amazing vases by Pierre Blanc
I realy like moving pictures
I watched Garden State for the first time last night, its written & directed by & stars Zach Braff from Scrubs, its a very odd film, one of those films i guess he has wanted to make for himself but hasn't sacrificed it to make it for anyone elses needs or make it more commercial, its a cross between Napoleon Dynamite (Jon Heder) & Fear X (John Turturro), its got the quick scene ends & identical humour as Napoleon Dynamite but the slow & easily distracted story-line of Fear X whilst still following a story of some sort. Everyone told me it would be hilarious, its wasn't that at all, just very subtle comedy slipped into the start of pretty much every scene, it probably has the funniest scene have ever seen in a film (bar the milkshake scene in there will be blood) but it lasts about 3 seconds & it was the only bit that realy made me laugh. The soundtracks pretty awesome too but i guess thats because Zach Braff has a great taste in music.
Next on my films to watch list are:

Bang On
(i saw them live in January when they supported the kings of leon, wasn't massively impressed by M83 though)
its a massive 10:42 long & its on the film Donkey Punch starring Jaime Winstone from Dead Set & Kidulthood which is tbh a god awful film with possibly the best soundtrack ever.
May Design
Been focusing tons on my design work recently as this is mid-month in bournemouth, so not much big happening around town but ive got a packed week next week so can't wait to get back to that.
So' heres some logos ive been working on, mainly done for photoshop practise, but did a few & then started getting asked to make loads.
This is for a friend on Flickr from the U.S who needed something for his banners & flyers
see his photography here at ChrisaPhotos Flickr
I used a pretty basic font & chose one colour & made the camera icon using just basic shapes & some paths, wanted to keep the whole logo simple but bright & bold.
These 3 are for different DJ's from Bournemouth, i photograph them most months at different events, all great DJ's & especially Jody's (Mr White) mixtapes keep me going whilst im designing, you can download his most recent mixtape
if you click here
i enjoyed it alot.
Broke DJ's - In this logo i used some custom brushes & blending modes after tweaking them for a while i got what i wanted & im pretty happy with the colour scheme.
Mr White - I made the typeface for this from scratch & hopefully the final font will be finished soon, again custom blending modes for the blue gradient & then the pattern which is not hugely visible was made from brushes & some use of filters.
Massi - More custom brushes where used on this then tweaking a pretty common gradient until i liked it.
