i want to go to there

I really want this to be my weekend. Friends, intimate setting and yet in such an iconic and grandiose place. And Jordan Fearney made it all possible.

travel photographs, 1920s

Can you really believe these colour photos were taken in the 1920s?

Albert Kahn, a French banker and philanthropist, travelled the world in the 20s (yes he had loads of dough!) to collect a photographic record of the world. Before the stock market crash, he collected 180,000 metres of b/w film and 72,000 autochrome plates. The photographs are amazing - they look like an artist rendition. And it reminds me you of all the destruction/construction between the wars...

Images found via the Albert Kahn museum, found through Graphic Exchange.

Letters to dead people, beyond


How did I not find this website earlier? Celine Song has created this sometimes ironic, sometimes sweet and sometimes brutally honest blog about her ' letters' to the famous dead.

Images and the fabulous 'Letters to Dead People' website... what is your favourite?

Trafalgar Square, London

Design week in London has arrived! Liam and I are headed to Trafalgar Square tonight to take control of the audi production robots and write messages in the sky.. There's a long exposure camera that will capture the messages and upload them on the web.
Have a lovely weekend. I hope to get back to posting in a regular fashion again!
