Dave Hill Photography
Just when I needed a dose of inspiration, it hits me like a kid playing on the train tracks! Dave Hill is a fantastic photographer, but more than that is his heavy use of post processing that makes his photos so astounding. After watching a couple of his “Behind The Scene” videos on Vimeo, I can kind of grasp the way he does his shoots, shooting each element separately from each other, cutting them out and then manipulating them together along with some other post processing techniques.
I love Photoshop and I’m getting into this Photography lark quite a bit so I may take try to make some pieces like this. It doesn’t compare, but my Self Portrait attempt, it seems (due to the cutting out of elements and heavy post processing photo manipulation) is a very small scale version of this manipulative photography. I have tried this before for a few things, but half the techniques I know now, I didn’t back then. All I need is some more equipment and an idea for a shoot, then maybe people will be blogging about my photography too!
Short: Your Lucky Day
An amazingly shot and edited piece of film/art. Directed by Dan and features a cameo of “Boy Meets World” actor Rider Strong. Everything about this is pretty intense and the calming music only adds to it.
Kisses from Lynx!
Fuck Yea!!! Look what Lynx just sent me for The Cheese Grater!
They also sent me a few photo’s of Jacqui Ainsley (the girl in the video) from the shoot looking pretty damn fine. It would be a shame to waste them so here they are below.

Guy Walks Across America
Epic stop motion of a man walking across america. The sheer time and effort that must have gone into making him walk at normal (slightly slower) speed through the lands would have been extraordinary!
I do have a sneaky suspicion that a certain Denim Garment manufacturer is behind this masquerade though.
Blackout Crew – Rib it Up
The Blackout Crew have put a donk on new Pot Noodle Sticky Rib flavour and you can download the track for free! Blackout Crew rose to internet fame after their classic scouse house track “Put a Donk On It” launched the donk genre in to the mainstream. Now they’ve teamed up with snack food ledges to produce this ad and full length track starring the lads from Pot Noodle; Steve and Digger.
Super Mario Bros.
Visualised as one really, really long level on a concrete wall.

A New Breed Of Transport: Vacheval
Allow me to introduce an new type of animal. The Vacheval. It’s a cross between a Cow and a Horse and kinda looks like a really, really sad cow (because of it’s long face!).
Recently discovered and previously before unseen footage from Belgique Television from the 1960s introduces us to this revolutionary genetic masterpiece. They are educated, groomed and given an amazing lifestyle all in the name of being Eco friendly.
That’s right, these animals were reared for the sole purpose of being a CO2 friendly form of transportation due to the modern transportation at that time being such a pollutant to our planet.
Alain du Monde, an eco extraordinaire who worked for Belgique Television at that time, recalls the Vacheval; “The Vacheval were magnifique, they were not only eco but they were chic too, those behind the Vacheval were clearly visionary in recognising the future environmental issues facing man-kind” he says.
The whereabouts of these animals are unknown, but rumour have been speculated that they’re either chillaxin’ in the Apls, or migrating to Europe in search of work.
Geek Security
I’m just going to come right out and say it. I want this. Screw your iPad and iPhone 4. I want a brass mother fucking maze, on the inside of my mother fucking door.
