perpetuum mobile

it’s been a while since i’ve seen a live webcam stream anywhere online, it used to be a rage when the internet was just starting remember?

designer joep jacobs has one on his homepage, if you mail him (i just did) you can watch him read your mail as it arrives, funny idea… he is constantly leaving printed messages on his desk too… oh yeah, and he has some nice work also

joep also mailed a nice link

teenage kicks

dominic (see previous post) also pointed me to this series currently being made by marijke de gruyter on teenagers at school parties, as dominic said the kids seem to be right on the cusp of adulthood that awkward time, it’s as if there clothes are wearing them…

zoom in on norway

my friend dominic davies is currently shooting a series on glaciers in norway, seeing them at this size (in jpg format) doesn’t do the imaages justice i’m sure, looks and sounds very interesting

barack booties

artist ‘jim lasser’ has made a special ‘obama’ air force one, everywhere i read about it on the net it’s described as ‘very cool’ and so on… but, is it just me? or is it actually a bit daft?

(thanks to ‘femke’ for the tip)
