Artist's House (Baan Silapin), Bangkok, Thailand
Located along a canal on the Thonburi side of Bangkok, the Artist's House (Baan Silapin) is a difficult attraction to find and just finding it has a little taste of success. A couple centuries ago, this kind of old Thai wooden house was very typical along the klongs but today these are becoming rare, inexorably replaced by concrete buildings. Not only has this one been beautifully restored, it also has some unusual features that always catch the eyes of tourists passing by on speeding boats: Several human-sized statues painted in white, red or black sitting by the water, endlessly staring at life passing by, like the ghosts of the original occupants who probably used to do the same, when smartphones didn't yet distract us from the real world around us.
Owned by Khun Chumpol Akkapantanon, the Artist's House is more than two hundred years old, dating all the way back to when the capital of Thailand was on this side of the river. The house and the neighbourhood was run down when it was bought before being restored to its present glory. Since then, the entire area has become a popular attraction and the boardwalk leading to the house now hosts several shops and tiny restaurants that lead to a temple. It's a great escape from the crazy traffic of Thonburi and yet, it is in the middle of Bangkok.
Today's personal stay-at-home abstract photography project.
This is very similar to a project that I did a few days ago, but the processing is different. As with other recent projects, I can envisage these as framed prints on an imaginary wall somewhere

A couple of months back a lovely girl called Angela Chan and I decided we'd make a stop motion together. Things didn't go to plan, naturally, but that made it all the more fun.
Blame flickr for now allowing the full video.
Paper was proving to be a real challenge. I stumbled across a bag of 83 paper cranes and I decided to use them.

Bead Bonanza today at Eltlejorg Museum. Suppose to make meads with these strips of paper. So I made a ring.
The paper workshop they took us to.
I fell asleep on the bus that afternoon after a teamaking session, and when I groggily came to, the world outside was something straight out of a movie. Some ethereal woodland scene with fog and trees reaching into infinity. And then out of the corner of my eye, a bridge that was so familiar somehow.
Then it hit me. It's the bridge from family albums of the late 80s, from my parents honeymoon. I was at the place where my parents had had their honeymoon.
That's the strange thing about traveling in a country where your parents grew up. I sometimes end up at places that they went to in their youth and I get to make my own memories there. Growing up in America, I never get to experience that.
We snuck out of our rooms that night to sleep over with the boys (after an embarrassingly bad talent show performance) and tried to watch a movie. But with our awful history of staying awake during movie nights, I think we can all figure out how that night went. And Andrew doesn't share covers. And talks in his sleep.
On December 7, 2013, the Auburn University football team defeated the University of Missouri for the SEC Championship, at which point, Auburn fans rolled Toomer's Corner. Later that same day, Michigan State University defeated Ohio State University, causing Auburn to be chosen to play in the BCS National Championship. Auburn fans returned to Toomer's Corner and rolled it again. This is during the second rolling.
Using index cards, sentence strips, masking tape and 4 paper clips students were challenged to build something that could make noise, could be used by a child or adult, could be displayed in a science or art museum, etc.
I'd been looking for something to do with my old, out of date business cards. I found it (see the link bellow) today. Fueled by NOS I built this up. Sadly, I don't think I have enough to add any more complete cubes on, just smaller ones. There isn't a single drop of glue in the whole thing.
