This is my culture study done for a project last year for my degree. The brief was basically set around me making a study of culture and context.
After looking at photographs from the 'Exactitudes' series and some of the work from James Mollison's 'Extreme Fans' I decided that I really liked the idea of taking photos of a culture within one context.
The most interesting thing I find about these images is how the actual culture of students is represented by so many different sub-cultures within each photo by how different students present themselves and their rooms in different ways.

This beautiful piece was created some time in the early- to mid-19th century. It is an enamalled porcelain snuff bottle in the shape of a "Buddah's hand" fruit, a kind of strong-smelling citrus. The fruit is revered in Chinese culture as a symbol of good luck. I took this photo in the British Museum.

In the basement, the servers are working. The big black box is the ESXi server which hosts the fileserver, a web server (<a href="http://www.figure.fm/clickout.php?url=http://wetter.klein2.net" target="_blank">http://wetter.klein2.net</a>) and some internal used VMs like a virtual VCR for HD TV (Sat DVB-S2). The grey one behind the ESXi is Hotaru, the backup server. In the rack is currently no running server, but the massive (weight) APC RS800 UPS and a 4 port Compaq KVM switch.

"A photo series where she employs food as a motif to represent different cultures and lifestyles. Her photographs show models wearing her handmade edible jewelry while explosively showered in an assortment of foods and drinks all captured with high-speed photography. Exploring Cambodia, Singapore, Italy and many other countries, specific food items correspond to the daily meals of their cultures and lifestyles. Some photographs depict food items more lavish, and others are simple and meager, indicating the colossal gaps in the standards of living between countries. She makes the unique choice of working with edible items such as orange juice, fruit loops, honey baked ham, red chili and much more. Her work process is even more peculiar, hand throwing food, and popping balloons and squirting water guns filled with drinks. Evidently she does this to achieve a refreshing representation of these social inequalities that viewers can gain cultural insight from, and compare poverty-stricken meals with those more luxuriant, without being smothered by the solemn truth traditionally presented in photojournalism.

Canada's Stamp Details (Vol. XVIII No 1; January to March 2009)
Fireworks, lion dances, gold, and a splash of red for good luck! To the Chinese, no New Year display is too extravagant. After all, the parades and festivals that take place during China’s longest and most important celebration represent the shared hopes that good luck and prosperity will accompany the new cycle of the moon.
It’s also a special time for Canada Post, when ultra-creative stamp designs—topped off with gold foil and innovative printing techniques—are issued to celebrate what is widely credited as the oldest surviving calendar system in the world. This year, we honour the Year of the Ox: a time of stability, harmony and balance. The issue will be the first release in a new 12-year Lunar New Year series.
The international stamp was inspired by long traditions of Chinese art and Lunar New Year decor. “We featured a work of pottery, as the art form is heavily rooted in Chinese history,” explains Ivan Novotny, Vice President of Design at Toronto’s Taylor|Sprules Corporation. An ancient art form of Asian descent, pottery wares have been sculpted in China since the Paleolithic era. “We also chose it for its connection to the earth, since 2009 is the year of the Earth Ox,” adds Novotny. According to Chinese philosophy, everyone and everything is subject to the influence of the five elements: water, metal, earth, wood, and fire. The elements rotate every year, and each is associated with specific character traits: stability, industry and practicality in the case of earth element.
The spark that surrounds the Chinese character for “Ox” in the top-left corner of the international stamp evokes fireworks. Gold foil is applied to the spark, while clear foil and multi-level embossing techniques add shine and dimension to the pottery vase. Novotny notes, “There’s an interesting juxta-position between the traditional quality of the pottery and the modern flair of the design.”
The domestic stamp features an illustration of an Ox before a mountainous landscape. “The landscape and tan earth tones in the background speak again to this year’s element, earth,” explains Novotny. Plum blossoms—popular subjects in Chinese art and a common feature in Lunar New Year decor—are peppered throughout the background of the stamp and pane of 25. These flowers are indigenous to China and the country’s national flower. Blooming in the early spring snow, they symbolize life, rebirth and adversity overcome. The Ox and the blossoms, adorned with clear foil, shine in the light, while multi-level embossing techniques add depth and dimension. Alain Leduc, Manager of Stamp Design and Production at Canada Post, adds, “With the image so full of fine details, the embossing in the design is extremely intricate.”
Even the long, scroll-like shape of the new souvenir sheet—a format that will remain standard throughout the series—is rooted in Chinese tradition, as decorative scrolls are widely believed to have their origin in China. “It was a challenge to marry these two stamps so different stylistically on the souvenir sheet,” notes Novotny. “But they were harmonized through a heavy use of the lucky colour red.” The Chinese characters that run vertically down the souvenir sheet list all 12 animals of the zodiac, fading from one year to the next as they appear in the lunar cycle— a feature that reinforces the scroll concept.
With its insightful blend of time-honoured customs and modern flair, this issue is a fitting tribute to an ancient tradition that is well-known and celebrated around the world today—not to mention an excellent kick-off to a new 12-year stamp cycle.

The stamp is quite nice designed. But the stamp is not well pasted. (so a little damage during transport) maybe next time pay more attention ;)
The stamp is designed by a chinese desinger.personally the stamp is quite traditional. Better than the chinese mainland ox issue
