I See What You Mean

Earth From Above

Photography exhibit by Yann Athus-Bertrand. Coming to NYC in Summer 2009, San Francisco and elsewhere afterward. Very cool. You can download free wallpaper here.

Budapest graffiti

A good friend of mine was recently lucky enough to be sent to Budapest for work. He took a lot of great photos and was nice enough to let me selectively steal a few for my blog.

Mat Collishaw

This also looks tantalizing.

Baby Boomers Fucked Everything: a psychedelic light show

Of course it is. Artist bios are pretty hilarious too.

Love this.

If anyone needs to get me a late birthday present... ;-)

Bob Dylan images

Felt the need to change my desktop background and watched I'm Not There over the weekend. That's more or less how I got here. Enjoy.

BMW-sponsored photography

Despite corporate sponsorship, I enjoyed these photographs of the Flavorpill cities. John Curley does the ones of San Francisco - I enjoyed the shot of the bridge in the bay and the reflection of different buildings in the windows. I wanted to post the pictures on here, but blogger isn't allowing me to upload images right now, so a link will have to do.

Olafur Eliasson

Finally caught the exhibit at the SFMOMA (it was the very last day) and boy, am I glad I did! If this Icelandic artist's work comes to a gallery near you - check it out. It's very interactive and somehow makes you feel like a child again, just discovering light and the color spectrum and texture and well, everything. I went with a friend and our favorite part was a monochromatic room - basically the walls, ceiling, etc. were all yellow, but people and objects only came through in black and white. It felt very much like an old film. Here's a selection from the SFMOMA exhibit:
