tomohide was born in 1974 in kanagawa, japan, and started his professional career as a chef in an italian restaurant in 1992 before he switched to photography and started working independently in 2002. he has some interesting work on his website but i find most interesting his photo art series breath, which got him the 2009 international photography award. check out his website here.

doesn’t happen often but it’s great to be surprised by advertising that doesn’t include the brand name. just the logo. pure, confident and self-evident. in this case a magazine back cover ad from target. saw it while throwing the mag into the trash.

pretty insane game graphics (and trailer below). just amazing to see what happened over the last couple of years and even more exciting to think about the years to come. http://assassinscreed.uk.ubi.com/brotherhood/#/videos/Video/7835
acrassicauda from baghdad
Posted on | March 13, 2010 | No Comments
became a huge fan of vice tv documentaries featured on the vbs.tv website. the one posted here follows the first (and maybe only) iraq metal band acrassicauda. a vice team followed them for more than three years from war to post war times 2003 - 2006. there is also a short trailer on what happened after that if you click here. you should start with the long feature though.

this might be it and the ideas berg/bonnier showcases are interesting but the execution is a bit clunky. well, that’s the easiest thing to fix i guess.

wireless power outlet. really?
Posted on | October 8, 2009 | No Comments
it was introduced at the CES early this year but so far i’ve been only aware of the powermat. what’s more interesting though is the technology integrated into other areas like a kitchen counter top or office desk. like that a lot, cables should be part of the past by now.
