Flicking Film
"Squeeze Me" by Kraak & Smaak
A great film/photo animation to a great catchy song. A great idea.

I have TV
Some photogrpahs I took, trying to capture a threatening image of a tv in danger - near the water.
The colours have been altered, accidental at first but reviewing it now, I think it adds a dramatic alternative edge to the pictures.

Days With My Father
www.dayswithmyfather.com
Spotted this website in a magazine, its a photo journal about Phillip Toledano's relationship with his father. After viewing it I was a bit unsure as to the purpose of the site, is it for his father?(who has no short term memory), for strangers like you and I? or for himself? Either-way its a very emotional and compelling insight, with heartwarming photographs which speak for themselves, accompanied by quirky bits of texts. A simple, beautiful, elegant piece.
The choice of navigation on the site is also worth checking out, slightly different from the norm.

Send me a Polaroid
From all the news surrounding Polaroids recently i came across this site www.postcardpolaroid.com
I think its a pretty funky idea, might give it a try. It reminds me when a friend sent me a plank of wood through the post, people love it when they receive something unexpected.
A Face in a Place
Had a look at the Faces in Places blog mentioned on the GLOG page, and it reminded me of a photograph I took previously. Its amazing what you can find in natural environments if only you look.

Dali's Bench
This photograph was taken outside the Salvador Dali Museum in St Petersburg, Florida. A very unique and appropriate bench design I thought!

David Shrigley
I came across a last years free fold out tube map of the london underground the other day, noticing it was nicely illustrated by David Shrigley. The illustration follows the original design produced by Harry Beck, taking a comical or some may say an opposite perspective, displaying a present-day response to the rational certainties implied by Beck.
The design of the london underground tube map implies - "getting from A to B is a simple matter."
However as many personally know nowadays travelling via tube is not so simple, and the Shrigley's chaos probably portrays a picture closer to the truth.
When looking through his website I managed to find a small collection of work which personally appealed to me. I particulary like his style of simplistic monotone rough-edged illustrations.
The one above made me chuckle. Its so uncomplicated, almost effortless, yet witty at the same time. This particulary reminded me of the cards and products made by Edward Monkton, whos illustrations I also enjoy very much.
His illustrations certainly prove that colour and details aren't always a necessity to successful work.
Shrigley also takes photographs which can be easily viewed on his website, one which caught my eye labelled 'Giraffe', is shown below...

Jonathan Kitchen
Jonathan Kitchen - Photographer
Below is an example of one of his commercial projects.
Client: TFL
Agency: M&C Saatchi
I particulary like how obvious the picture is...its obviously London with the key landmarks such as the london eye; and its also obviously bicycle parts too. The idea has come together well making again an obvious statement which links to the conclusive copy at the top. This kind of ad may not be immediatley eye catching but I think its quite witty in the way its made and for that people will absorb it's message.
Kitchen also produced some more casual photographic work, below is an example which I find inspirational from his personal collection.
The above photo has a sense of realistic charm, but posed at the same time; 'strikingly ordinary' one may say.
