Still in Love with Polaroid

This awesome video of time-lapse graffiti by street artist Sofles was shot over several hours in an abandoned warehouse in Melbourne, Australia. Using his name, he covers enormous sections of the walls with simple tags and elaborate, gradated pieces. The more complex pieces are truly magnificent, and it's something special to watch an artist at work. via  thisiscolossal.com Some of his other work :

This week, I took a trip to New York to visit friends and family and to bring closure to some important events in my life. I started in Brooklyn, getting lost on the one-way streets and flanked by people hustling on each sidewalk. I stayed at a friend's apartment and we talked photo, video, cameras, and prints until the early morning. The following morning, I walked (the LONGEST way) around Prospect Park to the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens. I was so excited to go back, having not been there for at least 15 years. The only thing I remember from when I was child (besides that it is gorgeous there) was the lily pond. I navigated to it, using my map like a tourist, all the while trying to ignore the hundreds of children milling around in their PS-number shirts and their teachers yelling at them in their native nasal New York accents.  This was on my way to the pond, when I stopped to see the Japanese flower garden and koi fish. The Lily Pond For the next thre...

This is hilarious! Photoshop artist Erik Johanssen, in collaboration with Adobe, rigged a bus stop in Sweden to show the live retouching of people waiting for the bus photoshopped into an ad. The rigging looks rather simple, using a photographer shooting tethered from a van across the street, an editing setup in the van, and a screen that shows the live edit. Neat!   Check out the video below: More will be happening with CreativeDays  from Adobe. via borrowlenses.com and gizmodo

This incredible nature float drifts around Homebush Bay in Sydney, Australia. A former World War II transport ship, the SS Ayrfield now is home to a natural mangrove tree forest (as well as other plants). It floats among four other retired ships in the "ship graveyard" in the Bay. It's amazing how much nature will reclaim over time. photo by Rodney Campbell photo by Bruce Hood photo by Steve Dorman photo by Nostalgia via thisiscolossal , mymodernmet , and odditycentral  

Though the music accompanying this commercial sounds like what you're about to watch is a trailer for an upcoming supernatural movie, it pairs beautifully with the cinematography and photography used to build this spot. The making of the new Rolls-Royce launch film includes creative use of strobe lighting, forests, mansions, and the largest array shot in Europe (100 DSLR cameras). Watch is whichever order you'd like, but I'd recommend watching the behind-the-scenes video first, and then the commercial. Enjoy!

While browsing KickStarter, I found this little gem: a tiny projector called " Projecteo ," reminiscent of the ViewMaster toy (see below) that we played with when we were kids (that we actually still have in the basement...). It's a tiny LED projector into which you insert a wheel of 9 of your own Instagram or iPhone photos. You create the wheel of images through the MintDigital website, and you can create as many reels as you want. This is such a cute idea for a wedding or favor: you create a reel of 9 images from the engagement shoot or the couple's trips and give each person a projector and a reel at the wedding. Then, people can go onto the Projecteo website and make their own reel from Instagram photos they take at the wedding. The same can be said for a prom, Sweet 16 party, or anniversary.
