Thought Project

Simon Horgsberg is a photographer who lives in Denmark. In this project, he randomly stopped people on the street and asked them what they were thinking about at that moment in time. He then snapped a photo of them. It is interesting to see the range of ideas and thought that people have whilst going about their business. He conducted the project in Copenhagen and New York. http://www.simonhoegsberg.com/thethoughtproject.html

Advanced Style

"Proof from the wise and silver haired set that personal style advances with age"

I am really drawn to this blog because I find it fascinating how this blogger has focused on such a specific group of fashionable people. Or maybe it's because I am staying with my grandparents at the moment and find this so inspiring. I hope that I can be so positive, imaginative, proud and stylish in my old age! Really amazing stuff.

I especially like this piece of advice on fashion from 79 year old Joyce, "Marvelous Jewelry, it doesn't have to be real or expensive, a strand of pearls can make an outfit." I think it can be applied to any age.

Forgotten Bookmarks

As a big fan of collage, I love bits and pieces of paper, photos and cards. Collecting different types of paper has become a hobby and it's all building up to a mega collage which will happen one day!

Anyway, this website is created by the owner of a Used and Rare bookstore who collects all the bits and pieces that people have left inside their books by mistake.

Each piece is scanned as well as the cover of the book. Its sometimes sad to see some of the memories that have been lost such as, photos, letters and drawings.

Check out this link to explore the amazing collection: http://www.forgottenbookmarks.com

PHOTOGRAPHER:Martin Schoeller

Scholler is a celebrity photographer who takes extremely imaginative pictures. He creates an entire scene and story with his photos and sometimes portrays the celebrities in a way you would never imagine! Some of the photos are pretty funny as well (I love the one of Zach Galifianakis!)

Check out Portrait I, II and III as well as his "Close Up" series which includes everyone from Obama to Justin Timberlake. These photos are really amazing. You can see every freckle and wrinkle on the subject's face and the eyes look so stunning and piercing!

Pool Painting

I know I haven't updated in AGES, exams, summer holidays etc etc. Anyway, found this video which I thought was pretty awesome. Would LOVE to try this out one day. How cool would roads and streets look if every car had a different coloured spray paint can attached to it? Just a thought...

Doesn't this remind you of those Spirograph things from when you were younger? Google it for a wave of nostalgia.
