Posted as a work in progress, the project Art Walk Of LA is a rebranding project by Aldis Ozolins across four media types. In particular I think the calendar works really well and the screen grabs of the website also look nice. I look forward to seeing it in all its working glory whenever that may be.

There’s also some other interesting work on his site, Collapse in particular is very nice, so don’t dawdle, go and take it all in.

Illuminated

Illuminated 1Illuminated 2
I am a real sucker for minimalist urban photography at the best of times, but especially ones taken at night. There is a certain quality gained from the florescent and ambient lights pulsing out of the dark and warming the surrounding areas or forming shapes out of reflections and hard architectural lines.

Kim Holtermand has done a great job with this set of images called Illuminated. The subtle blue and yellow colour tones really add a special element that helps create a contrast between the ambient unnatural light and the darkness of the night.

She also has a great portfolio on the Behance Network so go take a look.

Learning Curve

Well, these last few weeks have been a bit of a life lesson. Since my site got hacked by the completely pointless organisation, the Kurdish Digital Army, it has been a struggle getting my site back to working order. If there is one thing I will gain from this whole experience, it’s make sure your backup is complete.

I have lost valuable hours over this whole episode, and all just because one inconsiderate group of people thought that it would be fun to sabotage other people’s hard work.

On one hand I thank them for pointing out that my method of backing up had some serious flaws which had to be addressed, however this doesn’t excuse their patent disregard for other people’s hard work and their livelihood.

Fingers crossed for the future that karma will catch up with these guys. I however, will exercise one human trait that everyone can be proud of. Resilience.
