- siatkowski photography 6/30/07
Description: photos and moving pictures by Darek Siatkowski (Flash)
Comments: "Naked.Human.Portrait." Naked places as well. Magical blurs on objects, like chairs in corners. Sisters against a cloudy sky. Grainy black & white images of tree stumps apparently used as work tables by blacksmiths. If ever I wished I could link directly to certain images to share their magic with you more precisely, it would be right now – enjoy the fine art photography of Darek Siatkowski...
- Institute of Modern Science 6/29/07
Description: collage art
Comments: Following yesterday's anonymous node, we're still in anonymous mode. Though I have no idea as to the who behind today's pick, its content is one of the coolest collages I've seen. And it's certainly the largest I've seen by far – a whopping 12,190,061 square pixels – wow!
- an anonymous node 6/28/07
Description: personal drawings
Comments: "Have you met life today?®" It's odd to say the least, seeing that same character sketched on various sheets of paper and printed materials. Or is it a bunch of different characters, all assuming the same strange pose? Presented anonymously, perhaps it's a collection of quickly drawn self-portraits – all somewhat mysterious and playful. "You are incredibly brilliant..." That too...
- Visual.eMich 6/27/07
Description: Belgium-based photoblog
Comments: A beautiful Austrian sunrise and a humorous shot titled "to consume with moderation" are among the reasons for sharing the site with you, though they're certainly not the only powerful images...
- colondee :D 6/26/07
Description: a smilie database
Comments: As coolstop approaches its 10-year anniversary on the web (a shameless plug, I know), the ubiquitous Internet smiley (or emoticon) is approaching its 25th, a real long time in web years. What's that got to do with today's pick? Well, there's over 600 smilies in its database, which for some of us, can be most amusing, thank you...;~))
- Face your pocket! 6/23/07
Description: things living in the pockets of your bag, jeans or jacket...
Comments: By default, the site's in Russian, so here's a direct shot to the English version. "Things that are living in the pockets of your bag, jeans or jacket... are all the treasures our project is looking for!" In addition to scanning those objects found in one's pockets, participants are asked to place their face (or part of it) on the scanner at the same time. Over 100 people have already responded and the resulting gallery is several notches above interesting – cool idea!
- Franschhoek Motor Museum 6/20/07
Description: online exhibition of the Franschhoek Motor Museum, portraying the evolution of the automobile (Flash)
Comments: Looks like some bucks went into producing the site, a slick online exhibition of the Franschhoek Motor Museum in South Africa and the L'Ormarins Wine Farm, its apparent sponsor. The museum itself houses over 200 automobiles "ranging from a 1898 Beeston motor tricycle to a 2003 Ferrari Enzo supercar." The site currently features 100 selected vehicles from the collection with multiple view photos, samples of how the engines sound, and get this, even a downloadable ringtone for each (.mp3 format). If you're a car enthusiast, prepare to be totally engaged...
- aperturef7 6/17/07
Description: photography
Comments: The View from Inside is downright magical to me – a grainy and colorful, apparently post-processed moment. And damn, I miss Chicago and certain places there I passed through daily. Note that each entry has a clipped image on the left that leads to a much larger version in a pop-up – and enjoy... [VFXY]
- Generative Compositional Engine 6/15/07
Description: infinite artwork generator (Flash)
Comments: There's some rather tasty visual works in its galleries, all generated by the unique online application, which utilizes "supplied assets, user settings, aesthetic rules and a level of chaos to instantaneously create infinite artwork." Have fun creating and printing your own unique compostion...
- bigkidfallsdown.photographs 6/14/07
Description: a hodgepodge of portraits, interiors, exteriors and whatever else happened along the way
Comments: On a forum site out there, someone asked "What's the point of this site?" Another came back with "I have no idea, but it's so random I love it." From a guy named Josh in Memphis who has a big handlebar and some facial expressions that remind me of the great Belushi, today's pick is a collection of photos, a hodgepodge if you will. And it's the portraits I really dig. "Alright then, enjoy."
- My uncombed photos 6/11/07
Description: photos from New York City
Comments: "I saw another world..." says Kazik, after buying a new digital camera last December. Living in New York City, the things he sees include Shadows, fiery sunsets, and abandoned places. Nice photos...;~))
- Tim Hansen 6/6/07
Description: photo series and diary
Comments: I can't help but wonder if the people in Tim's My faces series are the same people found in Bags – I'm thinking they are. There's more faces in the diary. I'd have to call Tim Hansen a storyteller of sorts, uniquely creative with a camera. And someone's been caught...;~))
- Imaginopedia 6/5/07
Description: a collectively authored encyclopedia where anyone with ideas, imagination and creativity can add or edit an article
Comments: I'm reminded about a story (not sure it's 'fact') from way back about songwriter/poet Dory Previn finding it necessary to scream – on an airplane. To bad Dory didn't have a Skream Box® so she might have been a little more discreet that day. Celebrating the freedom of the imagination, the artist behind today's pick sees her project as "a way to explore what it means to represent / depict things through text and images while promoting the imagination and intuition as alternative sources of truth." Imagine!
