Touching Strangers | Fubiz ™

Media_httpwwwfubiznet_wfgml

"A particular view of society with this series "Touching Strangers" by the photographer Richard Renaldi . Portraits of individuals caught in the street who do not know, and establish physical contact. A relationship between spontaneous and ephemeral total strangers."

How utterly beautiful a concept.

One of my favourite blogs is Oh Dear!. I adore Jelena's visual style of blogging, and given her impeccable eye for detail, I always know I'll find something cheering and uplifting when I drop by. My new favourite iPhone app is Hipstamatic. Here's a post inspired by both. When on the Underground, I like to take pics of the platform just as the train is pulling in. The motion blur is different every time.

Last Saturday, a few of us celebrated Alfie's birthday with a visit to Decode at the V&A. One of my favourite exhibits was a UGC video wall.

Yesterday we went longboarding at Acton Park. This is the picture I didn't take of me learning how to get on, get off, turn left and right, and keep going in a mostly straight line. Haven't quite yet worked out how to stop, though.... Today I meandered across London with a longboard and a brolly, playing with Hipstamatic pics on the way.

Feets First

Via Photojojo, this excellent introduction to the work of Ellen Ugelstad, Norwegian photographer.

Ugelstad’s The Shoe Project is a decidedly unusual series of portraits. Focusing first on her subjects’ feet, then comparing them with their face and shoulders, she’s found new perspective on the oft-tired portrait.

It's got me all excited about photography again. That and the Canon EOS 400D that should *fingers crossed* be arriving tomorrow... :-)
