For those who are interested in everything vintage, particularly from the 40′s, I suppose you can’t go wrong with the Government-controlled ultra functional supplies made in Britain during WWII, carrying the CC41 mark. This mark

It’s something else this one. The good kind of Something. Can a 20 years old Summer Bishil pull off a 13 year old adolescent? oh yes she can! Good movie.
Milla’s kick start to stardom

I wanted to share with you these two photos of Milla Jovovich by Richard Avedon. The first one taken in 1986 when she was only 11 years old after been spoted by Avedon, who featured her with 2 other models in the famous Revlon’s “Most Unforgettable Women in the World” advertisement. This marked Milla’s first big push to stardom. The 2nd one is from 1998, almost 10 years later. She was already a huge star by then.
after the shoot
This gear was so neatly packed before the photo shoot. Now look at it… At least nothing’s missing… i think.
It’s starting to be a standard routine with me. Before and during a shoot it’s all I can think about. Complete concentration and focus to get all the elements right and all that comes with it – the creative process, the direction, the smiling, the pep talk, giving direction, hearing input and advices, compromises, process and process it

I’ve always loved this track and especially this video. Years later I realize why!
Asimo – more than a toy
I find myself constantly surprised and amazed at the level technology and science can meet in creating inspiring inventions and get closer to realizing “old” familiar concepts. Asimo is one good example of that. There is so much invested in this Robot to such inspiring results. I really believe this level of artificial intelligence is only the tip of the tongue of what’s next.
It’s a remarkable learning creation that is quite successful thanks to some clever (or cheesy – take your pick) marketing. But I can’t help but wishing this cute little robot looked LESS like a toy and treated as such, and had some MORE “authentic” humanistic features… show us some skin, right? Although, looking through its evolution and early prototypes, I guess I shouldn’t complain.
