Photoshop in real life. Lovely attention to detail! Apparently it’s part of an ad campaign for something called CS4…

Seen over at Swiss Miss, originally uploaded to Flickr by wandaaa, so you can see it larger over there…

To celebrate the end of Wimbledon and all of the spatially unaware tourists leaving our neighbourhood for another year, I thought I’d post this image of grass photographs by artists Heather Ackroyd and Dan Harvey, grown by exposing the grass to negative light 12 hours a day for over a week. Lovely.

I guess the Nike Tennis store which was hastily constructed 3 weeks ago and is usually the local video shop will be being converted back to its former glory now, what with the neighbourhood market for tennis whites and racquets collapsing overnight. Rental prices for a burger van sized part of your front lawn have also plummeted… [via]

Take time out from your soul destroying image search for businessmen shaking hands on Corbis and print out one of their Readymech cameras to use outside in the fresh air…

Download the PicLens plugin for Firefox and take your image searching full screen. A small button gets added to your browser bar and when you click it you get a beautiful fullscreen wall of the images on that page. You can even image search directly from PicLens by typing in the search field. The results get added to the wall as they download, making an ever growing scrolling display which is fun to play with even if it doesn’t return what you’re after…

I’m pretty pleased this morning as I just found out I’m featured on the Johnson Banks Thought for the Week. Micheal Johnson posted recently about their open-ended Time project, where they invite viewer submissions. I thought they might be interested in my mobile phone photoblog as a visual record of time, so casually sent it in, not expecting to really hear anything back. Well, Michael replied to say thanks, and then this morning the photoblog was plastered all over their blog. Nice!

I’d better get on the phone to my web hosts and plead for some more bandwidth…

Oh, and talking of Time, the February issue of All The Rage featured a couple of my photos on the subject.

I read yesterday on the Creative Review blog about the Flickr CD cover meme, the graphic design equivalent of one of those ‘what’s your porn star name?’ things. As someone who used to do a lot of CD covers in a commercial context, it made me smile.

The idea is simple, you take the first article title from this page as your band name…

Then you use the last four words in the last quote from this page as your album title…

And finally, you use the third picture from here, no matter what it is.

My result is above, as you can see I lucked out on the picture, but I really like the band name now too. I imagine they have a wicked PowerPoint presentation in their stage show…
