Polaroid lives on.... Maybe...

I was sad when I realized that my once large stock of polaroid film was running low to the point of total depletion, and with makers discontinuing the film last year its getting harder to replace but then I read this great article in the New York Times about a bunch of Eastern European entrepreneurs wanting to remake the classic film in a factory somewhere in the Netherlands...

Great news, but I wont get overly excited till its avail for purchase once again as I suspect there's a long road ahead of these scientists!

Strawberry Swing

I've been listening to Coldplay a lot recently - they just fit my life so well right now (and I did just catch them in concert at Shoreline which was pure awesomeness). So you can imagine I was super excited to see this new video from them for strawberry swing, and blown away by the sheer beauty of this animation - I don't even know what you call it, but I know it would have taken a LONG time to create and a lot of lying on the floor and for that dedication I salute you Mr.Martin!

Stop Motion

I am really getting into stop motion video these days, not making my own of course - lord knows I don't have time for that!! But I really appreciate the work of others who do dedicate the time. Its a painstaking process but when done right results in beautiful seamless movies.

This is a stunning video from Olympus showing the development of friendships over time...... Love the soundtrack too!
