ambush

castillo_ambush2

nice series from photographer jonathan castillo who: …catches people idling in traffic, suspended in thought and action. “I’m really interested in capturing those introspective moments that we all have in our cars,” he says. “Overall though, the project is just as much about Los Angeles and the car culture as it is about the people.”…

HF 15

hf_thonik_15

the new identity for the holland festival is currently all over town, made by thonik

hf_thonik_15_2

a big departure from the former identity by maureen mooren (enter holland festival in me search to see some of the former years) and a nod to HF in earlier decades; with a retro feel to the stencil font and colour schemes used

i feel that this work wouldn’t have looked out-of-place in the 1960’s or 1970’s on the streets of amsterdam, this is necessarily meant as criticism as i’m still undecided whether this is a good or bad thing…
