THE BEGINNING OF THE END

Wednesday, September 14, 2011

September 11

One Hundred
There was a door because I opened it.
It was the muse. It had a human face.
It had to have to make the three parts fit.
The Cosmos Poems was fire that filled the space
With fire in Life on Earth. The sky
Became a blue lake I was bathing in,
But it was fire. The sun was burning. [...]

NANO ORIGAMI

Monday, August 29, 2011

What is there to say about someone who will spend 10 hours on creating a 9mm flower out of paper? Someone like Anja Markiewicz, who has obviously taken the virtues of the Japanese Origami very close to her heart. It’s not for nothing her Flickr Page is called ‘Faltsucht’ – or ‘Folding Addiction’, where she [...]

THE IMPOSSIBLE RETURN OF POLAROID

Tuesday, February 8, 2011

When in 2008, Polaroid announced that they would finally end production of their legendary instant film, they not only rendered 300,000,000 functioning cameras obsolete, it also felt like the final blow to analogue photography, in times when Agfa had gone bankrupt and most film and camera manufacturers settled on digital photography. But it’s sometimes hard [...]

LESSONS IN DESIGN: PROJECT THIRTY-THREE

Thursday, January 27, 2011

Ah, record covers… don’t you miss them in times of torrents and iTunes? There should be entire sites dedicated to preserving the fine art of record sleeve design, and in fact there are: Project Thirty-Three is a great blog by Seattle-based record store Jive Time dedicated entirely to, as they put it, ‘circles and dots [...]

FOUND PHOTOGRAPHS

Friday, January 7, 2011

The new found- photographs calendar collection for 2011 has recently been released.

THE YEAR IN BOOKS

Saturday, January 1, 2011

At the beginning of 2010, we prompted the lucky recipients of our mono.kalender with a greeting card to read more. Today I realized, bizarrely enough, that my reading list was the only new year’s resolution that I actually put into action, while successfullly ignoring bigger challenges. It also made me realize that fulfilling resolutions feels [...]
