Thomas Birke: Bladerunner Tokyo by Christian Eager
Architecture, Film, photography
Still from Bladerunner Ridley Scott's Bladerunner (1982) is one of few films whose futuristic visions have aged well--the corporations, fashion, and technology, are all plausibly in humanity's trajectory--albeit not by the year of the film's setting, 2019. We might, perhaps, achieve the architecture. These photos of Tokyo by Thomas Birke bear a striking resemblance to the art from the film. He shot in large format (8×10), looking for density, the city's organic nature, and, above all, the city of Bladerunner. Tokyo Rainbow Bridge See the full set on Flickr. via Hivelogic

Finding the average color in an image by David Goligorsky
Code, Data Presentation, Graphic Design, photography, Remix, Software, Visualization
Just thinking about a project and quickly found this free online tool by Wise Geek that finds the average color in an image. Seems to be good! I've done things like this in MATLAB before, but it's unnecessarily complicated and Photoshop doesn't seem to have a good way to do this... please comment if you have a better solution.

[caption id="attachment_806" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Poladroid"][/caption] Bridging the analog/digital gap is a worthwhile consideration in designing today's products and experiences. There are definitely cost, availability, scalability, and ease issues associated with digital products, but the digitization of an analog experience often loses a key element of the story. Poladroid is a fantastic cross-over from the analog space to the digital realm. Highly recommended and very fun to use. This is application for Mac users that converts a digital image into a very good imitation of a Polaroid photograph. Not only does the application make the noise of a Polaroid taking a ...

Clap Your Brains Off by Eric Silva
Music, photography, video
This is the music video for Clap Your Brains Off, the first single by No Somos Machos Pero Somos Muchos (NSM PSM). Interestingly, the video was shot by Frank Beltrán using only a Canon EOS-1D Mark III, a digital SLR with no ostensible video mode. It can, however, shoot 10 frames per second (which explains the jerky footage on the otherwise smooth Vimeo) for about 10 seconds. Also, check out the making of Clap Your Brains Off. Via S U A V E

Leica D-LUX 4 by David Goligorsky
Design, Experience Design, Interaction Design, Perceived Value, photography, Pragmatism, Product Design, Remix
Core77 mentioned the impending arrival of the new Leica D-LUX 4 as reported at Digital Photography Review. I use it's predecessor, the Leica D-LUX 3, and I love the crisp optics, the macro option, the range of focal length in the optical zoom, the 16:9/3:2/4:3 aspect ratio options, the option to go fully or partially manual with aperture, shutter speed, and focus, and the Leica compact digitals are the most elegant-looking cameras in their class and price point (in my opinion). I have a few gripes about the usability design, including the lens cap, the arrangement of functions ...

Lartigue, Avedon, and Wes Anderson by David Goligorsky
Aesthetics, Art, Associative Thought, Film, Inspiration, photography, Remix
It's been duly noted that Wes Anderson took inspiration from Jaques Henri Lartigue. For one, the shot of Max Fischer (played by Jason Schwartzman) as founder of the Yankee Racers is clearly homage to Lartigue's image of his brother on a "bobsled with wheels". Furthermore, his brother's name is Zissou and any Anderson fan will tell you that Zissou is the name of Bill Murray's character in The Life Aquatic.

[caption id="attachment_601" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Walking dogs in Omaha, NE"][/caption] How to: Walk two dogs in Omaha, Nebraska Posts have been scarce recently, but I have an excuse! I am in the process of moving from Somerville, Massachusetts to Palo Alto, California by way of 1990 Volvo 240DL. More on that at another time, but for now, dig through our previous posts and try the blogroll at the right to discover some new material.
