Time lapse sequences have always amazed me, partly because of the difficulty in producing them, but also that it’s a dynamic showcase of what goes on around us that we don’t see. The photographer who shot this time lapse—Sean Stiegemeier—said about his video:
So I saw all of these mediocre pictures of that volcano in Iceland nobody can pronounce the name of, so I figured I should go and do better. But the flights to get over took forever as expected (somewhat). 4 days after leaving I finally made it, but the weather was terrible for another 4. Just before leaving it got pretty good for about a day and a half and this is what I managed to get.
Sean shot this on a Canon 5d Mk II on a motorized dolly. I’d be curious to see the dolly set up he used. Eventually I would like to get into shooting timelapses like this one. See more of his videos on his Vimeo.

It’s been nearly a year and a half since I completed this project in school. The project was a self-initiated re-branding of V1 Private Jet charter. The reason for tackling this particular company was that their branding was loose. It looked as if the aspect of design throughout their brand had been lost sight of. Being that V1 is a jet charter service that offers their luxury-minded clientele on-demand private jet charter services for both domestic and international travel, I tackled this design in a whole new way than their previous mark.
The initial reaction when beginning the logo process was that the previous V-One was in resemblance of something too close to military and science (periodic table of elements). The new logo utilized a powerful mark in addition to hand-drawn type. The new logo represents aspects of their clients: luxury and exclusiveness. The logo’s “V” shape also incorporates a slice that enables the shape to be interpreted as a bird flying high, or a jet taking off up and to the left.

Imagine That volume two is a clean cut mix by Brian Gossett with sing along themed tracks. That may sound corny but I really enjoy these tracks and I’m not a mom or a dad.”/>

The first cover’s color, imagery and typography is just gorgeous. I also really enjoy the piece by Anton Stankowski. Check out more of these on the flickr stream.

This is just plain cool. When have you ever seen a house built this way? On top of that, when have you ever seen a cow help build a house? Ok so the house itself isn’t that visually attracting but the concept is rather interesting. I could see this transforming into a really cool, multi story house with tunnels underground.
The way this house was built was by digging a large hole in the ground, piling up the soil to the sides and putting down layer after layer of cement while also using hay bales to hold form for the inside living space. After completely covering all of the bales with cement, the soil was packed back on top of it. Once dried, the soil was removed and the front and back were cut off, leaving the insides open for a calf to graze on.
A year and a plump cow later, the interior of the house was clear of hay and the final elements were added. The final end result looks like it would be a really cool place to have a day studio and the view would be stunning as it looks out over the water.

When I think of Switzerland, I think of it as wonderful place to travel to. A lot of that has to do with my attitude towards their design and my prior perceptions based on movies or reading.
As I came across these images I couldn’t help but notice just how amazing each image looks in both a stylistic and compositional sense. I also came across these other photos in the same flickr stream that had that same 60’s/70’s film look that we’ve all come to love, but I don’t believe they are all from Switzerland.

I came across this set of ridiculously cool, used-looking Pantone chips a while back and had to share them. I’m led to believe that David Hyde is the owner of these chips. The aged color and tears are really cool to reference, but other than that, there really isn’t that much to them.
Check out all of them on My Pantone Past.
