I’ve been steering clear of reblogs lately, preferring to just put up original content for the most part. But this gorgeous Beet Cake video/recipe is too visually delicious not to re-share

hrrrthrrr:

What a beautiful way to show a recipe! Plus I’m such a sucker for handwritten text.

There is something beautiful about the baking process. The way flour feels in your hands or the sound of eggs cracking on the edge of a bowl. Baking is a gathering of interesting materials, a mixed medium art piece of sorts, that ends in a cake instead of a canvas.

I was delighted to get an email from Deborah Johnson this weekend asking permission to use some of my photos from Sufjan Stevens’ Age of Adz Auckland show this February.

Deborah, aka CandyStations, has worked with the likes of Wilco, Andrew Bird and of course Sufjan Stevens among others creating video for shows as well as music videos.

At the Age of Adz show, I absolutely loved this video for “Too Much”. Also worth checking out are the live visual videos for Chicago and Seven Swans, probably most meaningful to those who were lucky enough to go along to the show.

Dark Side Of The Lens.

I’m sure this film has floated by my dashboard before, if you were the clever submitter – sorry for the fail at reblogging and all. This thing is beautiful, glad I got around to watching it.

Never have I seen captured the momentum of a wave in film like that before, the feeling as you’re lifted and set down is definitely something I thought was restricted to actually getting wet.

The narration is like a lullaby, but there is some touching wisdom in there if you still have the capacity to listen while being stunned by the visual experience.
