Friday, January 9th, 2009

Had quite a fun night yesterday evening walking around the southbank playing around with the manual settings on my camera. Here are some of the better ones, more can be found on flickr

Cool stuff from Creative Review

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

There’s been some great stuff appearing on the Creative Review blog recently, here’s a few of my favourites:

Artist Olafur Eliasson (the guy who did that amazing sunset installation at the Tate Modern a few years ago) has revealed his latest work in New York this time in the shape of a waterfall:

Work by UK artists Heather Ackroyd and Dan Harvey which uses the photosensitve properties of grass:

A photography project by David Levinthal and Garry Trudeau which documents the German invasion of the Soviet Union during World War II - but using toy soldiers!:

Also I love the graphic on this cardboard portable toilet (though I’m not too sure about the product?!)

Holga

Saturday, May 17th, 2008

Another thing I’m quite excited about is the recent purchase of a Holga camera - basically it’s a really cheapo plastic camera (including plastic lens) which uses medium format film, it tends to do pretty unpredictable things but has the potential for photographic AWESOMENESS! Here’s a few wicked examples taken from lomography.com
