Las Palmas, Spain.
This is a from collection of portraits I am working on with my Hasselblad.
Wallpaper design by Dan Funderburgh. Dig the new take on pattern content, morphing nature with daily artifacts.
If this impresses you, this is only the beginning. Peter Root embeds all that meticulous signifies. He also built a city with potatoes, if you are curious. But mainly you must be able to appreciate the effort and detail of his work.
His personal artist statement:” The work I create regularly involves highly labor-intensive, mantra-like procedures of construction and assemblage. As well as being simple, playful experiments the work often touches upon themes of impermanence, repetition, structure, pattern, scale and architecture. My work often takes the form of extremely fragile, temporary arrangements, with works subject to micro-apocalyptic events such as a light breeze or a falling leaf.”
We all need to learn simplicity. Enjoyed seeing this from renan molin, for it´s analogy to ethnic diversity. What will the overall illustration really mean in terms of impact? It is the very least a driver of positive thinking, and it will certainly gravitate your attention. I hope. I am curious to see what it feels like to live in one of the most diverse metropols out there.
Ou Est Le Swimming Pool – These New Knights ( JOCKS REMIX )

The New Knights though was a favourite track this last week, and after a brief quest of reasearch, the following reveals, these guys want to be so cool that they have nothing informative whatsoever on their myspace, except their UK tour. Congratulations, that is actually uncool. Also, I do hope they make some better music videos. Either way, The New Knights is a track to listen out for. Not the others. Perhaps it´s half craft of the remix?

This Irish Madame has kept delivering great material for the past years. Having glimpsed a performance of her in Milan last week, it is all the more fun to listen to her. She has performed in some fashion shows there, and it really seems like there is a natural connection between her music and the North Italian lifestyle.

Fantastic cinematic music. Also recently discovered Burial´s first release thirtysixtwentyfive; beautiful material! Also interesting that Burial might be remixing some of Massive Attack´s new album this year. via ResidentAdvisor
Miami Horrors – Sometimes

The appeal from Australian act Miami Horrors is just as much for their branding which has this youtful, nostalgic feel to it. They released a new single now, moon theory which is more upbeat than this, and touring the winterly Aussie coast for the matter. Watch a cute snap from Sometimes.

Japan – The Strange Country (Japanese ver.) from Kenichi on Vimeo.
This is my final thesis project. I created info-graphic, motion piece. My objective is to make Japanese people to think about that everything happening here in Japan, isn’t that normal. So I created this video from foreigner’s point of view, rather than Japanese people’s point of view.
I found this very interesting. May you too.
Umeå, winter 2008 with my roomate. Damn, this film got a lot of light leak, but these kind of accidents usually are mostly interesting. I was having a pleasant chat with Annika, and sneaked into my room between as I could not resist photographing her with this morning winter light and her top that titled her so well. RGB versus Greyscale mode.
- update: so I am posting some old frames I found that I had at home in Norway; as I wait for a very substantial number of films to be processed. I am having a total obsession with medium format photography, and some night photography with the olympus, which culminated in a delivery to studio technika today of 27 rolls of medium format and ca. 15 rolls of 35 mm. Yes, that basically means I am going very far in this passion. Over half of this is material from my stay in Italy for 9 days recently; I wait in apprehension, as I barely used any form of light meter for this, only experience.
I was talking to Stefano about this form of investment, and it must be said that even if you pay 6 euros for 12 photos, and later 6-9 euros for having it processed and there is a visible amount of failed technical aspects, if only one frame stands out and turns out magically, you have more than paid off the investment.
Also this week I saw a brilliant exhibition by Stanley Kubrick, it was good inspiration. A must see in Milan!
The last days I´ve been meeting my family from south and north respectively, and now recently with my grandmother going through perhaps some 500 slides yesterday. It is very interesting to see what my grandfather photographed and get these vintageness to the surface. They have a remarkable potential to become something else. Although I have to admit there was a lot of flat images in there as well, but you have to seek out the particular. I might just get addicted to play with them graphically and see what comes out of it. What is left out is still quite a lot, but what has been found is actually quite valuable. It set a new perspective on the life that has preceeded.
According to my grandmother, this was taken on a trip from Bergen to Oslo. Now check out the luggage compartment; today we just want to have everything in our cars, while here there was an authentic twist to it.
