This man has to be my favourite local artist. His photographs really scream about the glamour of bygone eras, and there is always a sense of longing there. He does the majority of his work on film, and does not believe in photoshop as a compositing tool. Here is a mosaic of his work. He [...]

Homage
Friendships take a lot of time to build, and for me, friendships with other women are always strange at the best of times.

This technology analyzes a series of photographs for similarity and calculates virtual camera positions and allows you to roam around a reconstructed 3D space with the mouse, and when [...]

I love Sappy Movies!
Really, this movie is as sappy as they come, but I watched the whole thing wondering what was going to happen next. I found it a very human story, and one I empathize deeply with. And how I wish I was one of those guys who had this perfect platonic relationship with the girl next [...]
