I wish I could show this to everyone who questioned why I went to school for Architecture then Photography, as if they were unrelated and isolated. For me, the marriage is obvious. The artist is Alex Roman Check out his The Third & The Seventh website. "A FULL-CG animated piece that tries to illustrate architecture art across a photographic point of view, where main subjects are already- built spaces" click here to see what other people are saying.. psst...It's best if you watch it full screen Christopher Payne 02/11/2010
A few months ago I came across the work of photographer Christopher Payne and can't stop thinking about his images. The photos in his 'Asylum' series are particularly breathtaking and I can't wait for my copy of his book to arrive. Between 2002 and 2008, Payne photographed seventy mental hospitals in thirty states, gathering images of aging and abandoned institutions. Trained as an architect, Payne's photography naturally gravitates towards historical and industrial architecture. What I enjoy so much about his hospital series is how he documented the silence and calm of these places that we've all imagined as terrifying, uneasy and sometimes violent. His photos capture moments that allow the viewer to transport back to a time where patients, doctors and staff still walked the halls. Throughout these spaces, the colours, abandoned objects and equipment are signifiers of the past and provide a humanistic element that helps describe the quality of life inside the seemingly ominous architecture. go to chrispaynephoto.com to see more images...     songs i am listening to 02/06/2010
This is one of my favourite Stevie Wonder songs. It's a good song to put you in a better mood. I was recently given a copy of the compilation album, Dark Was The Night.

Needless to say my favourite film genre is the documentary. This weekend I watched two documentaries by Gary Hustwit. Helvetica (2007) Objectified (2009) They are both very informative and discuss the simplicity of design in both communications and products. I predict that after watching these, you'll have a new appreciation for both. gimme a break 01/12/2010
so I just watched this trailer for ♥ Valentine's Day ♥ ...starring Julia Roberts' laugh. No surprise since the director is Garry Marshall, the same one from Pretty Woman. I didn't realize 'Julia Roberts' is still a name that sells, did I miss something? This movie is clearly a cliché knock off of Love Actually, the feel-good British Christmas comedy. Say that five times fast. not just about BABIES 01/11/2010
I've never been one to goo goo gaa gaa in a baby's face but this documentary looks like it'll be about learning foreign cultures and family traditions, not just cute squishy babies. Judging by the trailer, BABIES, looks like it will be visually interesting, creating attractive and intriguing imagery of both urban and rural landscapes. song from trailer: The Perpetual Self, Or What Would Saul Alinky Do - Sufjan Steves (The Avalanche 2006) songs i am listening to 01/10/2010
This first single has been out for a few weeks now. It's pretty catchy. Their new album, Of The Blue Color Of The Sky, comes out January 12th. WTF? - OK Go oooo exciting stuff, just found a video of how they made the other video. Aptly titled, HTF? x-mas lists 12/23/2009
Despite the fact that I basically stopped celebrating Christmas five years ago, there's a list of holiday movies and songs that I still enjoy. I'm a scrooge, but i guess not a heartless scrooge... CHRISTMAS MOVIES |
