Dizzying

November 27th, 2008

I love photographs that take you a little while to figure out.

The first time I looked at this one I thought, “great color” and then “nice depth of field” and kept scrolling.  Then it occurred to me what it was, I scrolled back and had this intense feeling of vertigo.

Wish I knew who the photographer was…  Or what series it comes from.  But it’s definitely National Geographic — so thanks NG!

Art of the Title

November 26th, 2008

I love this site.  Art of the Title posts the cream of the crop of the oft-overlooked opening title world.

The latest batch includes the opening sequence for True Blood, which I think is far better than the actual show (the couple of episodes I’ve seen at least).

From the Grave

November 10th, 2008

A recent press release from Vibe:

“The December 2008 issue also features an exclusive interview with R&B superstar Brandy, providing the first look into her life after her fatal car accident and a four-year hiatus from the spotlight. ‘I really didn’t know what to do. I was in limbo for a long time,’ she says of the tragedy. ‘I didn’t go outside for months.'”

Feels like Dante would have a field day with this.

good catch, Gawker
