This book came on a journey from Waiheke Island, as apparently Borders have never heard of it. Tim bought it for me as a birthday present (the journey took awhile) and I LOVE it.

Pretty. Interesting how nice the centering looks, I’ve always had a thing against text centering.
Querying whether a feminine equivalent is in the works.
The Ana{b}log project from New Zealand’s first Laneway Festival on the 1st of Feb was a neat idea.
The Ana{b}log is a spectacle, an antidote to the same-same expectations of Web 2.0 – a genuine conversation with kids on the street. – Amber Parkin (codeforsomething)
The crowd could interact with the board, posting “tweets” in the twitter column; “scribes” ran around the festival experiencing the acts, interviewing and reviewing while the writers back at the board updated it every 20 minutes or so.
Two things I think they could have done to step it up a notch:
- Referred to the event properly, it’s called “Laneway” not “Laneways” (yeah, snob I know)
- Taken a decent photo of the board after each update, and posted it online on the “digital version”
All that content they generated, and it all got washed away! I guess that may have been the point though.
The Ana{b}log is but a fleeting moment in time… a record that is subject to the elements – the wind, the rain and 15-year-old boys writing naughty words about their anatomy. – Amber Parkin (codeforsomething)
John Maloof presents Vivian Maier’s Chicago street photography. He purchased hundreds of rolls of undeveloped film at an auction and is developing and publishing them.
I love this picture – the gentleman’s frayed sleeves, and in particular his hands. The theatre in the background. Black and white is lovely.
