I don’t have a camera right now and this is really annoying. It’s an old cliché that “you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone” but this really made me think about the way that i document my travels (usually through Flickr) and what inspires me. Have we stopped reading? Are we a see-image-only… Continue reading Cameraless in London (an RCA show description)

“Mon nom est Stéphanie, je suis née et vis à Montréal depuis 19 ans. J’ai reçu cette horloge d’une photographe exeptionnelle; le projet suggéré m’a semblé fabuleux.

Nokia’s new “L’Amour Collection” (love the use of french for this title) uses a definite fabric and leather visual language for their new designer collection. Although they are of course still using metal and plastic covers, they are recognising the use of textile fabric inspired look and feel to their phone. Definitely getting closer and… Continue reading Nokia and leather-like finishes
