This has to be one of my favorite documentry clips I’ve seen for a while.

Picture Perfect travels to Tokyo, Japan where they meet with Canadian photographer Donald Weber to discuss his ongoing documentation of life in Chernobyl, his interest in power roles, and his photographic practice.

FIFA World Cup 2010…

is here!! Watching the soccer matches is one thing, but to also spend hours viewing “big pictures” photo coverage is awesome too. Watching how the games unfold & people coming together all over the world for this one sport is kinda amazing. My feelings say Brazil or Germany will take the gold home this year.

i want to go to JAPAN!!

as of many of  my 3 readers know…i love Robots! & Japan has built a 59-foot tall Gundam in Tokyo w/ really neat night lighting. How cool is that?!!..its only going to be up for a limited time but this doesn’t mean the craftsmanship is cheap. detailed armor & armor number stats. I remember building this exact model when i was a little kid, only mine was 6 inches high that came in a box labeled Level-1 (snap on). Come to think about it, i still have it. Mine came with wings though…either way, i would be very  excited to see this in person.

kurtnoble.com has some pretty well designed stash…check it. definitely  think the Roubaix-sl2 is a stand out site for me. The navigation is easy  for any user & i really love the hot spots. Its a perfect use of the AS3 carousel concept, never really seen one that functions so seamless.

don’t you hate when someone executes something you once thought of first? yes, it happened here w/ the screen record of site navigations (&” speeding the video by 2x-5…no biggy, i’ll live.)

Print vs Web

“An interactive platform can help breathe life into a brand, giving it an added dimension to communicate it’s values. It is exciting — those of us who work in print can appreciate the beauty and relevance considered animation can bring to a project, just as we can distinguish the individual merits of a beautifully written book or it’s screen adaptation.”
