seattle-based photographer ryan matthew smith has been creating some ‘modern cuisine’, i particularily like the exploding eggs shown above…
although when it comes to this kind of work, you definitely shouldn’t miss the very talented mister dominic davies from london… whio has a much more ‘authentic’ and analogue feel to his work
in 2010, what a year… things went up, things fell down, people died or triumphed and so on…
the anuual ‘boston globe’ roundup in pictures is here again, here’s my personal ‘mash-up’
a small but flexible identity for the bi-annual ‘fotofestival naarden’ taking place in early summer next year with a series of logos and typographic variations
this renowned open-air photo festival takes place in the small town of ‘naarden’ every two years… the typo treatment is based on the idea of the initial letters being photographed too, the font was made using a set of old plastic stencils i’ve had hanging on the studio wall for a few years now… (waiting for the right client… finally)
the theme for this years’ festival is ‘let’s face it – portraits of dutch photography’ featuring a wide array of dutch image makers including ‘joost van den broek’ whose ‘sailor’ image (shown here below) will be used as the central image for the festival & posters etc… the colour scheme obviously relates to the ‘dutch’ theme chosen for the 2011 festival
the work shown is very much ‘in progress’, much of the actual material has yet to be designed but this overview gives at least a general idea of the identity and the way it will work… check back regularly to see the latest stuff and other updates…

the temporary website should be online within the coming week (for anyone wishing to enter work or find more info…)
…found in igor djatlov’s camera: some truly poetic pictures & a very bizarre story i have just discovered…
…then, something happens. In the middle of the night all nine suddenly leap out of their tents as fast as possible, ripping them open from the inside (not even enough time to untie the doors) and race out into the sub-zero temps, without coats or boots or skis, most in their underwear, some even barefoot or with a single sock or boot. It is 30 degrees below zero, Celsius. A few make it as far as a kilometer and a half down the slope. All nine, as you might expect, quickly die…
