The day before…

 

Monday 10 September 2001 - The world can change in a day. Don’t miss your daily edition of in-depth news.

It’s not often that a print ad literally jumps up and throttles our attention like this one - done for local newspaper brand Cape Times - did this morning.

There are four executions. This one in reference to 9/11, another (beautifully shot) for Hiroshima 1945, the JFK assassination and the ‘76 Soweto riots.

Using iconic events from history, the campaign highlights the fact that world-changing events often can’t be predicted and that the course of history can, quite literally, change in a day.

Love the art direction and the hard-hitting message of these ads. Stunningly arresting.

Boarding in Alpe D’huez photos

I just returned from a week’s Snowboarding with my wonderful girlfriend, Alice. We went to Alpe D’Huez in the French Alps, we stayed in the the Hotel L’Ancolie in Huez village which was nice..and cheap and away from all the tourists, a definate plus!

These stills are all taken with my Nikon D70 with either my 18-70mm or my 70-300mm lens, they are a few of the literally tens that I took and the only ones worth showing off. Let me know what you think..

My new HOLGA camera!!!

For Giftmas I was given a wonderful Holga camera. It is an extremely basic, medium format ‘toy camera’ with a plastic lens, it creates very weird and crazy images that have vignetting and distorted colours, with a kind of ‘old’ feel to them.

The Holga in all it’s plastic glory!
The Holga in all its glory

The kind of images these cameras create - not one of mine..
