Paul Watson on Humans

I think the problem is that we don’t really understand what we are. In essence we’re just a conceited, naked ape. But in our minds, we’re some sort of divine legend and we see ourselves as some sort of God. That we can walk around the Earth deciding who will live and who will die and what will be destroyed and what will be saved. But the fact is that we’re just a bunch of primates, out of control.

Death Cab for Cutie – Narrow Stairs

I got super lucky (or not, you’ll see what I mean) with this find, in that, I was listening to the No Sunlight 7” that came with my Narrow Stairs vinyl and heard the demo for The Ice Is Getting Thinner and immediately wanted the mp3 version. I still haven’t found it on the interweb, but I did come across this amazing cover for the single which makes me super jealous I didn’t get the whole cover with the single, just the sleeve insert. Sigh. Beautiful cover, fucking great work.

Explore. Dream. Discover.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Philippe Ramette Vs. Tim Walker

It’s hard to say if Tim Walker has borrowed from Ramette, or come up with the idea on his own. Tim Walker’s surreal photograph’s have included Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter and work for Hermès luxury goods manufacturer. Is it possible for us to be unaffected by our surroundings? Is it possible for us to make anything original anymore, or will we just borrow from outside sources? Either way, surreal photographs offer us an exciting glimpse of the world we know, in a way we may not be used to seeing it. When you take Photoshop out of the equation, I feel these pictures take on a whole new level of ingenuity and skill.
