What a journey!
Monday, September 26th, 2011I’m back from three weeks in Kenya and I still don’t quite believe I was there. Each and every day was an adventure from a late night visit to our Safari camp by a herd of Elephants to playing statues with local school kids, Kenya is everything I ever dreamed of and more. You’ll have to forgive me though as I need to sort through over 3000 photos before posting them here. In the mean time I’ll leave you with the eldest of the lion cubs we tracked in the Masai Mara as he patiently waits for supper.
Kowloon walled city
Monday, August 1st, 2011Grand panorama of the Kowloon walled city. Amazing level of detail and complexity so I recomend seeing the full image as this is only a tiny part! The actual city was demolished only recently in 1994.

Loom – short film Polynoid
Tuesday, June 7th, 2011Loom tells the story of a successful catch.
A moth being caught in a spiders web. Struggling for an escape, the moths panic movements only result in less chance of survival. What follows is the type of causality everyones expecting. The spider appears, claims its prey and feeds on it. The way nature works. But it’s the point of view that creates an intense relationship between the hunter and its victim. There is much more to explore, much more to feel if one takes the time to really experience the content of a split second.

Monday, May 23rd, 2011Post Office Railway – London
Thursday, May 12th, 2011SilentUK have posted a collection of images showing the adandoned Post Office Railway below the streets of Euston in London.
For as long as I can remember explorers have joked, discussed and cried themselves to sleep over possibility the Post Office Railway could be explored. Those keen to attempt entry desperately clawed at every scrap of information like a starving hobo snacking on bread crumbs. Just the idea of access, let alone the task of traversing the line seemed fraught with impossible obstacles and doubt.
I love images like this, in fact I was in London right above these tunnels less than a week ago. You would have no idea these were burried below you’re very feet. Make’s my imagination run wild!
San Francisco made of 100,000 toothpicks
Wednesday, April 27th, 2011This is amazing… quite a lot of time to make but still amazing
Scott Weaver’s amazing piece, made with over 100,000 toothpicks over the course of 35 years, is a depiction of San Francisco, with multiple ball runs that allow you to go on “tours” of different parts of the city. It will be on display in the Tinkering Studio until the end of June!
Pencil lead sculpture
Thursday, March 10th, 2011Amazing images of carved pencil leads by Brazilian born, Dalton Ghetti.
These miniature masterpieces are a side project for the professional carpenter, who has been perfecting this art for the last 25 years. Dalton uses a razor blade, sewing needle, a sculpting knife, a steady hand and lots of patience to meticulously carve the graphite which can take anywhere between a few months to a few years. Over time he has broken many works in progress and keeps them in what he calls the cemetery collection. One of the most fascinating things about these tiny works of art is that he has never sold them, only given away to friends as gifts.
if you created these please comment so I can credit you!
