Daniel Askill - WE HAVE DECIDED NOT TO DIE from Cgunit on Vimeo.

this short film is beautiful. i really like the techniques used to create the surreal situations.

yet another cool vid post.

Photo Manipulation: Zink-PoGo from Frenky on Vimeo.

i think this is a really cool hands on way to mess with photos which i might just give a go.

vid post

this is a cool little stop motion animation found by my friend Dave. although its not super cleanly done i think the effect works.

this is another photographer who's taken old photos and re shot them, i really like this version and i might give it a try. unfortunatly due to anti copying on flickr i can copy them directly so please take a look at http://www.flickr.com/photos/tonyarrj/

found these photos by Lindsey Battle, i think they are beautiful and convey so much emotion.

These are the images a saw a while back and lost, which applies so well with my Negs project, this bloke has taken old photos an held them up in front of the old building and rephotographed them.

Videos

these are just a few videos I've either come across or been shown an liked, either because i loved the look or the idea.

the idea is brilliant and i think its well exicuted.

i think this has been so well organized and put together, plus the song ain't too bad considering its in Japanese.

Found Photos

Today i've been in the dark room printing a few of then negs, It managed to stir up a few emotions when i recognized my late grandfather in one of the images. i never knew him, because he passed away when i was a child. but it made me wonder what he was like an silly things like whether he'd be proud of the choices i've made. the image below is a portrait of him.

He was neg No 26. (i found this bunch of negatives in a small pouch/ folder thing each sleeve has numbers on.) I also did a contact sheet and printed of an image of a girl who is still a mystery to me. the contact sheet can be seen below.

next i plan to print another 7 contact sheets because that will cover all 95 negs in the pouch including the one above. this means first sorting them into 8 groups.
