Photographer Stephen Wilkes created these Day to Night shots of various landmarks around the world using a technique of taking thousands of shots from dawn to dusk. The blended results are beautiful!
Today I invested in a project by Kickstarter. I’m an official ‘backer’ of Spinpod… You ‘pledge’ your amount and if its successful in getting all its backing, then obviously you pay for your pledge.
Have never done this before but I thought it looked quite an interesting gadget. A very simple idea in principle, but one that might produce great effects (GoPro anyone 🙂 )
Came across this site from a ‘Like’ on my own WordPress blog. Really useful and informative guide to some of the areas off the beaten track in London. Well worth a browse.

This is absolutely fascinating. Somehow black and white film doesn’t seem quite ‘real’ but when you see images from the past in colour, it’s like a little piece of time travel. In 1927 Claude Friese-Greene shot some of the first-ever color film footage around London. He captured everyday life in the city with a technique innovated by his father, called Biocolour.
Love the bold imagery and clean design of this. Really makes you want to visit these places. If only all travel sites took inspiration from this form and functionality…
The plight of Detroit has been well documented. Over the past 50 years the Motor City’s population and industry have plummeted resulting in a city falling into decay. Detroiturbex is a website created to “raise awareness of the social and economic challenges the city of Detroit faces” through a series of photographs of abandoned civic institutions, parks and neighbourhoods.
In the new series Cass Tech – Now and Then brings those ghosts to the fore by superimposing old photographs taken in the deserted Lewis Cass Technical High School onto shots of their current condition. Though well worn, the collage technique fits well these eerie scenes of basketball games and dances in dilapidated gymnasiums. A moving showcase of a city’s sad decay.
