Using tilt-shift photography, artist Sam O’Hare created the time-lapse film “The Sandpit” from more than 35,000 pictures taken during a single week last August. With computer editing software, O’Hare manipulated his photos so only narrow planes of focus remained sharp, creating an effect that makes the city look like a model.

From Gothamist. Lovely, lovely stuff.

R.J. Cutler, director of The September Issue. He has a piece up at The Huffington Post on what he learned from Anna Wintour while making the documentary.

Great stuff.

Not for everyone, but I think my baby would get it.

And I’ve no doubt I’ll give myself plenty of opportunities to find out!

An ad for the NBA. This is so good.

I’ve watched more basketball in the 14 months I’ve lived in Toronto than the 14 years since I was running myself ragged every day at school on the blacktop. It’s funny how even at the level somewhere well below amateur that I played at, there are still memories of big shots, close games, and moves that came out of nowhere I will never forget.

Not at all in any way similar to what these guys do on a daily basis, but I think the reason these guys are so revered si so many people have stood on a court and tried to shoot a basket with nobody in front of them.

It’s only once you know how hard something is that you can fully appreciate the person that does it.

(P.S. Despite the use of auto-tune, this is an epic 30-spot.)

Quote from David Bowie, made several years ago - “I don’t even know why I would want to be on a label in a few years because I don’t think it’s going to work by labels and by distribution systems in the same way. The absolute transformation of everything that we ever thought about music will take…

...and I can't argue with that

Objektivone:: I jus wanna rock n roll all night and part of every day.

Objektivone:: I like to run errands in the afternoon though.

All the talk from Bijan and Fred about having been on holiday makes this sort of scene look not only desired but very necessary. That thought is not in any way aided by the sjow continuing to fall outside my window.

Le sigh.

My manic and I

I’ve been looking for a black, double-breasted jacket like this for a long time. Except more so a tough, maybe waxed canvas. With no puffy lapel. And a shorter body. And more square in the shoulders.

Come to think of it, I haven’t been looking for a jacket like the one in the picture at all.

(moving right along…)

The Marianas Trench. I.E. The *actual* Marianas Trench, not the wildly uninspired band of the same name.

david lee roth - just like paradise.

back in the late 80’s, i lived in budapest, and we only had bizarre hungarian TV. my aunt in california took pity on our cultural alienation and sent my sisters and i a few VHS tapes of MTV’s top 100 of 88 & 89.

we memorized those tapes, including the ads. this video was on one.

i loved it then, and love it now. it’s got it all. heart shaped guitars. sparkly boxing. kicks. jumps. surfboard balancing. and extreme sports!

I had the same experience, except it was my granny and grandpa sending tapes to me in Hong Kong. Mental As Anything’s Live It Up.

I actually got to support Mental As Anything when they were on tour a few years back, thoroughly enjoyed the experience, though apparently my between-song-banter was less appreciated when I noted I’d enjoyed them as a five year old; the audience in attendance were decidedly more, um, mature at the time.
