Photography: Time Standing Still

I found this site recently and have been transfixed. He uses long exposure times and turns human existence into ghostly motion. Visit the photographer’s web site here:

Video: Modern Architecture, Eno and Fripp

Sometimes music can backfire or provide an overly artificial sonic wallpaper to a video or film. I would have preferred Brian Eno’s music, but the video is an interesting look at some new perspectives and buildings.

A different video showcasing some interior sequences with the songs “lyra” and “Ankaa” by Robert Fripp and Brian Eno [...]


Desktop Factories - Rapid Prototyping / 3D Printing

3D Printing
The rapidly expanding market of 3D Printing is something I have been following for a while now. Products range from open source / DIY kits and range from $5000 to $50,000 and all the way into the millions. They are used for prototypes, concepts, product creation, and more. People use them to create [...]

For a while now I have been entranced with modern homes. I prefer a blend of hand made and wooden furniture that contrasts with the often stark austerity of the structures. I like the clean minimalism of modern structures. I like the way these structures can harmoniously blend into the landscape while offering large expansive [...]


Drive in Home

This home definitely brings some visual interest to the home movie theater concept. I like modern homes, but also like rustic or ancient homes as well. This looks like it has to be in Los Angeles. I could imagine serving up some drinks and watching movies in the evening. Life as a movie. Perfect.


Visual Clutter

I really hate touristy knick-knacks. For years while I was a child I would stare at one of the worst offenders, displayed triumphantly in a prominent place on the family mantle. It was a horribly painted split open wooden pineapple shell from Hawaii that said ALOHA in pink and yellow. It had a scene of [...]
