height

when asked why he did it, his first response was "there is no why". philippe petit. nutter. artist. frenchman. need i say more? i recently saw the doccy 'man on wire' and aside from the constant nausea i was absolutely fascinated. on the 7th of august 1974 he walked - or rather performed- on a wire rigged between the tops of the twin towers. 110 floors. 415m high. for over 45 minutes. lets be honest - heights are not my strong point. i get woozy just knowing i am 5 floors up. why the mention? well the movie was charming to say the least. beautifully told. captivating. you cant help but love this man. these photos featured in the film. magical.

haze

there is something really interesting and captivating about a blurred photo. something about it just puts it in-between. you cant seem to make out the exactness of the image. and i guess its that feeling of being both in and in-between moments simultaneously that is so romantic. here are some hazy holga snaps of mine. ones that i absolutely adore.

how cute

thought this was a novel idea. made by dr wow lab. it looks mighty tempting, but unfortunately - or would that be fortunately? probably fortunately - its not edible. It is a "chocolate" (actually wax) magnet. what is particularly nice about it is that it can be broken up like a real slab, and used to suit your requirements. pretty cute.

hardly believable

"she portrays a specific place and time with simultaneous empathy and detachment." alyssa monks. no, not a photographer. a painter. amazing photo-realistic stuff. although i think her subject adds to the magic of her pieces. beautiful bare flesh.

hotness

meet the f430. wait im sure by now you've met. meet the f430. in matt black. i saw this on the streets of cape town last week. what a stunner. its even better up close and in person. i remember ducatti did this quite a few years back. all i can say is *what took them so long*.

hear her

sia. what a voice. really enjoying her new album. "soon we'll be found". this music video is quite captivating. directed by claire carre. they tell the story through 'dramatic sign language'. sia: "...a beautiful, emotive dance. but the real beauty is that, hidden in these perfect shapes, is communication." being such a great tune, and being expressed so beautifully through sign language, it really makes you appreciate being able to hear it. not so?

harding

chris harding of shynola. coldplay's video for strawberry swing. a friend pointed me in the direction of this. really enjoyed it. all of the chalk is hand drawn. must have been a pretty long shoot. think the results are really cool though.

hotshot

found these awesome shots by brett rubin. stiaan louw's designs naturally make them sweeter. just loved the styling, lighting and composition here.

help yourself

this is a pretty cool idea. apparently by installing this system in your bar/restaurant you save money. and waste less. pretty interesting. saves fighting over cleavage to grab some attention at the bar. or waiting for that ditzy waitress. and you calculate what you spend per ml. i think a lot of draught fans will love this one. beer finished? just lean over and fill her up again. hey presto. happiness.
