You can do that with photography???

We just had a presentation by photographer (etc/etc/etc) Lyle Owerko. Although it seems like he's done a lot of other interesting things, like the commercial spots, but mostly I was impressed by what he did with photography. I guess I had always looked at a photographs and not really thought how those pictures were procured. It was interesting to here how he set up his studio and formed relationships with his "subjects." It was also interesting to here why he was doing it. A lot of photography books will offer the author's explanation, but it always sounds a little too rehearsed...a little too pretencious. Lyle seemed very down to earth and had a very relaxed and relatable way of describing things that definitely brought more of my interest to his work. Here are some of my favorites he what he showed us:

Push it

So would we call this people powered electricity?? Like wind power, now we have push power, with the installment of a revolving door that generates energy in the Netherlands at Natuurcafe La Port. Built by Boon Edam, and designed by architects at RAU, it can generate roughly 4600 kwh of energy per year. So it may not be the biggest impact right now, but think if every revolving door in New York City had one of these....they could at least power a Jamba Juice or something.

Look Again

So when i first breezed past this post on core77, I did a double take on the picture I saw. I thought these fireplaces looked, well, really cool. Of course, then when I read further, I felt like an idiot. So this post was not about how interesting or how innovative these new wall mounted fireplaces, but about how impractical they are:
Post author hipstomp encourages readers to think longevity...logically will a wall mounted fire place last that long functionally, and think 1970's decore.....with this even remotely look okay in 10years??
Shows that there's ALOT more to think about than "that just looks cool"

Something I learned from a blogger

I suppose since reading all of these design blogs for over a year know, I have become somewhat a critic of blogs as well. I also recall back on article by Seth Godin in which he discusses how to be a good blogger. So while I was reading core77's post "Living With:" Product Review I got to the end and found myself being more critical than interested. One of Seth's key point was to put links on everything, because an interested blogger with always follow and return; however, "hipstomp," the poster of this post only gives an introduction to the review itself and it wasn't interesting enough for me to click the link. So needless to say, I don't even know how good that chair might be....
