That is as far outside as I am prepared to go.
Weekly wrap up
I mentioned a few posts back about the early roots of my love of movie title design. I happened to run across this post on Open Culture here. It is called The Film Before The Film. Enjoy!
Some really cool long exposure wake boarding in the dark with glow sticks photos here.
An incredible time lapse from New Zealand here. And a very impressive portfolio of work by the artist Bevan Percival as well. Check out the spectacular lenticular cloud time lapse here. Incredible work. I am totally envious of this stuff!
And while we’re talking about time lapse, here is my all time favorite, always worth a watch is The Mountain. The music, from Ludovico Einaudi – “Nuvole bianche” is excellent too!
And, finally, from The New York Review of Books, an excellent article on Japanese photographers Hiroshi Hamaya and Kansuke Yamamoto and their documentary photography.
Is this the end times?
No, seriously? We will be getting up to 15 cm of snow and freezing rain tomorrow. Please let me know if you see any rivers turn to blood…

Occupy
Some images that I found on an old CD:
Great Motion Graphic!
Sweet typography here.
It is a pictorial representation of various neighbourhoods in Paris using typography. Bastille, for example, is a barricade that masks in using gas smoke. It struck a cord since motion graphics was one of my first loves, although it wasn’t called that at the time, it was just movie intros that I loved so much (Saul Bass rocks). I grew up on the various James Bond intros, most notably For Your Eyes Only (I saw that four times in the theaters).
Elysium: Official trailer
From the director of District 9, Neill Blomkamp, another dystopian vision of the near future starring Matt Damon and Jodie Foster. Most of the planet earth is a garbage heap while the elite live in splendor… but this is set in the future. Art, meet life.
Watch the trailer here.
Well, Hello World!
So while the screen real estate is limited, I think that this, my first post using the WordPress iPad app, is yet another success today.
Must be that awesome meal last night at Allium 🙂
Success!
So the migration was a success!. There were some hiccups since for the first while none of my photos were showing up. And then I realized that I hadn’t even backed up this site! Yikes! But all is well and everything is working now!
I’m on my Macbook now but the workflow on the iPad seems to work as well. The new version of WordPress is quite amazing! I’m going to check out the iPad app but the reviews aren’t great! 🙁
Frank’s Island, off the coast of Tofino
the moon doth with delight…
