I remember reading about this crazy bike thief in the press a few years ago. He allegedly stole the greatest number of bikes in world history. I recently saw a video made by two film makers who were captivated by the complex character of Igor Kenk and his slightly insane story and even crazier bicycle ‘collection’. They shot alot of film with the view to making a Graphic novel in a cut-up/rough style. This style draws influence from late 70’s punk ‘zines and FV Disco which grew out of Yugoslavia in the ’80’s as a result of easy access to photocopiers but restricted state run print presses. The result is a raw film and the associated Graphic novel.

This style of photography has now been used in a series of ads created for leading offshore law firm, Mourant Ozannes, by Betley Whitehorne.

New York fashion Phototographer Jamie Beck and motion graphic artist/designer Kevin Burg combined their skills on this project to create a large series of stunning cinemagraphs, described as “something more than a photo but less than a video”. The beautifully shot images with the absence of any sound and slow speed of the movements captured has created some mesmorising animations.

In recent weeks the circus has been in town (or at least L’eree aerodome). Having not attended Circus Starlight since I was a small child, I was unsure what to expect from the evening, but thought I would go along regardless. I was not disappointed. One particularly impressive act was the contortionist and trapeze artist which had been brought over from the UK. I was left wincing in my seat throughout the act! Read more

Wherever you go in the world you will find souvenirs, from replicas of famous landmarks to common sites like the yellow cab of New York. A small percentage of these souvenirs can be charming and collectable, but in my opinion the majority of them are tacky, poorly made junk.
Michael Hughes has travelled the world purchasing these souvenirs, placed them in their original situation and photographed them. Some at a glance could trick your mind to think it’s the actual landmark, where as others really do not and therefore reveal the true cheapness or maybe character of these items. Read more

Landscapes and in this case beaches are Jim Denevan’s canvases for his drawings. At low tide he spends hours creating these large scale temporary works of art, only to be washed away by the sea. Primarily based in California, Jim occasionally ventures into the Navada desert and creates illustrations similar to the famous Nazca Lines.

Guernsey has become something of a magnet for cruise ships in recent years. It certainly provides a spectacular sight, when majestic beauties such as the Grand Princess drop anchor off St Peter Port, almost overshadowing nearby Herm Island.
