Strange 1976 Outsider Psychedelic Canadian single, definitely not a lost classic but it would play perfectly with Amon Düül's "Disaster".
1976 pressing on Reveal label.
The iPhone augmented reality applications that are all the rage are gimmicky and really not as useful as a good infographic / interface in most cases.
Here's a quick 5-minute photo composite of a place where augmented reality would be useful. We have heads-up displays in a lot of cars these days; here's a visual processing system that makes automotive navigation way easier — just highlight the road they're supposed to be on.
A client of mine sells knives and has asked me to photograph a few for his online sales. So I am trying a few techniques in practice to see how they come out. This is my second attempt. The first attempt is not worthy of public viewing!!
Strobist info: behind the knife, under the board is a 430ex speedlite with a red gel on it shooting on an angle at the wall. Camera right is an alien bee 800 with a brolly (shoot through umbrella in case I am saying this wrong). Camera left is a 580exii with a yellow gel, this light was originally placed as a rim light. Totally the wrong spot for it and did not get what I wanted, but the oranges picked up the light slightly and I was happy with that. The speedlites were fired by the Canon ste2 and the alien bee by wire.
With the new BMW Z4 and Bentley GTC Speed both bowing today, along with this new Volkswagen Concept BlueSport, Detroit is, oddly enough, becoming the show for convertibles.
But the Volkswagen concept has a special twist that appeals to environmentally conscious sports-car enthusiasts: a Clean Diesel engine, mounted mid-ship.
The BlueSport Concept likely prefaces a long rumored—and headed to production, according to some sources—roadster based on the Concept-R, first shown more than five years ago at the Frankfurt auto show.
The silver exterior and orange fabric convertible top formed an interesting contrast with the black interior and looked anything but conservative. Wheel wells are flared dramatically outward, and large air intakes just behind the doors signal its mid-engine configuration. The interior features a matte-black look, with an instrument panel that’s rather simple in layout. One-piece seatbacks hint of racing, and as with several other concepts here at the show, a touch screen interface that controls “all information and entertainment functions.”
Volkswagen says in a release from the press preview that the Roadster would be built in Germany.
With a light weight of only 2640 pounds, the BlueSport promises to be nimble and fast. A 180-bhp Clean Diesel TDI engine brings it to 62 mph in just 6.6 seconds, according to the Wolfsburg automaker, and it has a top speed of 140 mph. A six-speed DSG gearbox does the shifting, with power going to the rear wheels.
With regard to those who might think diesels are a bit dirty, the BlueSport is fitted with a NOx downstream catalytic converter to keep it especially clean—and, likely to pass U.S. emissions without the need for AdBlue. Fuel economy rates about 55 miles per gallon overall, VW says, with a driving range of up to 710 miles. The BlueSport also incorporates an Eco mode, bringing an automatic start-stop system as well as energy regeneration to cut fuel consumption in city driving.
Volkswagen is, already, more than a decade late to the roadster party. But rather than cloning any of the existing models, Volkswagen has struck out in a new direction with the mid-engine design and a clear recognition of diesels as a performance powetrain.
The BlueSport has two small cargo spaces—one that’s 4 cubic feet in front and another that’s just about 2.5 cubic feet in back.VW states that it’s “enough for working documents or an extended weekend trip for two.” Two minimalists, that is.
At about 157 inches long, with a 95.7-inch wheelbase, the lightweight roadster looks poised to land somewhere between the Lotus Elise and Porsche Boxster in purpose—though perhaps closer to the much-missed Toyota MR2 in market position.
With Volkswagen talking recently about reviewing its portfolio and potentially trimming its future plans, according to some sources, will it make it to production? We'll just have to wait and see.
A concept sketch for a fun, light weight, sports utility vehicle I did as a project during my 2nd year at university. The design uses a lot motorbike themes and influences.
These were part of the concept for a cover which ended up going in a different direction. The books was Janice Clark's The Rathbones.
This is the first version of my new redesign concept. Not entirely sure about everything yet... :)
Main differences are the fact that I'm now limiting the blog to only 5 main categories, which will feature a better use of tags for sub-filtering. There's also a strong focus on the aggregation of data / activity from elsewhere through the lifestreaming.
What do you think? :)
I've had this puppet design haunting me for about six months now, and finally put it to paper a few weeks ago. The yellow lines were thoughts on stringing, when I still thought that this puppet could be pulled off as a string marionette. Ha.
Camaro Concept Car @ 2006 Detroit Auto Show. This random girl jumped the stage to take interior photos. I guess rules don't apply to her! I enjoyed watching her getting yelled at by 2 employees, and having them come up and grab her by the arm like a little child.
The selective usage of tone within a given area can create an effective depiction of lighting within a scene. The concept and process can be an easy one to employ by simply retaining light areas by not coloring everything the same. Oscillate the use of tone and/or color to create a varied surface and do that consistently throughout the scene and the end result will be effective lighting. It’s not as important to think of a scene in terms of realism but rather take the approach of a lighting director of a live on-stage production where the choice of lighting is wherever you want to put it —in this case, leave it. For the most part, those having trouble with scene lighting isn’t a matter them not adding enough but it’s adding too much. Just use less tone/color in some areas so you’ll have both shadow/dark and light instead of every area being dark —or the same.

Client's business name is a combination of family members' names. They wanted to have four counties that they cover be represented somewhere on the logo. Colors are to be teal and blue.
These are the logos I came up with. The central ideas played with the concept of family working together "Let our family care for you ..." and the number four to represent the counties and the four co-owners.
