There’s a fine line between inspiration and procrastination but, either way, I’m glad when I come across web photography folios that actually use the medium. Take the sliding display of We’re All Gonna Die - 100 Meters of Existence by Danish photographer Simon Hosberg. It’s a portrait of a crowd made by stitching together photos taken on the same street corner over 20 days until a number of individuals are brought together in a sort of pedestrian Bayeux Tapestry.
Italian street artist Blu has recently uploaded an epic collaborative animation project with American artist David Ellis.

Last week I got back from the Democratic Republic of Tmor-Leste. Here are some of my traveling companions.
I keep seeing ute commercials on TV that mention ‘ESP’ as a feature. I can only assume that the car provides some sort of extrasensory perception. But I’m not buying it until they introduce telepathic navigation controls (or TNCs).
