Year 2012 is coming to and end, and while you are sewing your Superman suit for the coming New Year party, I’d like to point out a couple of cool things that happened here on Photodoto during the last year. In July 2012 Photodoto recovered from a long sleep, and now we – George Bailey, Nancy Young and Tim Soulo Continue Reading

View the full session at 4ad.com In September of this year, St Vincent took a giant leap forward with the release of third album, Strange Mercy. This time out Annie Clark was to combine her long-celebrated musical virtuosity with ambitious songwriting that ran a gamut of emotional cadences, all the while underpinned by a colourful sense of melody. Recording these songs live for the first time, St Vincent has performed four tracks from Strange Mercy for the tenth visual installment in the 4AD Session series. Shot at Shangri-La Studios in the heart of the Brooklyn film and photography district in Greenpoint, the session was recorded with Annie’s new band, Daniel Mintseris (keys), Toko Yasuda (moog) and Matthew Johnson (drums). Given St Vincent’s transgression from the underground to the pop spotlight over the course of three studio albums, it’s somewhat fitting that Shangri-La host the session having initially earned its name as a secret spot known only through word of mouth. As with all of the sessions in the series, directors Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard filmed the four tracks with a clear artistic vision. In this instance, the inspiration came from an unlikely source — the memory of seeing a 1968 Shirley Bassey performance of ‘This is My Life’ on Rai Uno for Italian TV. With that reference point in mind, Annie takes centre stage against the backdrop of a projected live-feed, resplendent in glamorous eye make-up and with her always-impressive guitar work brought clearly …

Neither this installation artist nor his work are full of hot air – this is no optical illusion or structural trick, but an actual bring hanging in mid-air that can actually hold the weight of a human user.
Oliver Grossetête (images by Thierry Bal and Toby Savage) crafted this lovely slatwork structure from rope, wood and synthetic fabric, installed over water at a Japanese garden for the Tatton Park Biennial.
To call Grossetête obsessed with everyday uses for balloons would be an understatement. His other projects include a floating bench (strung up to helium-filled orbs) and a conceptual transportation system that (you guessed it) soars through the sky on the back of giant balloons.
In this case, three large, evenly-spaced balloons create a series of rises in the path below, while the rope-and-wood slats allow some flexibility as the construct rises, falls and sways in the wind.
These 18 staircases seem to hover in mid-air with no visible support, hanging from hidden brackets, impossibly thin poles, bird nest-like cages or walls of glass.

Beyond merely extending solid ground like most downtown-on-the-water expansions, this project creates new mobile infrastructure right out on the waves.

I made this video, using my Nikon D90, to show my 2011 Honda Fury in orange. I just bought this motorcycle two weeks ago after taking long time researching for the best and nicest motorcycle in the market at an affordable price. It was between a Harley Rocker C and this Honda Fury. the Harley dealer wanted too much for a used Rocker C $ 20K +, so I went to buy the Honda Fury and I think I got a good deal $ 11300 for a brand new bike and I got an extended 5 year factory warranty too. out the door was $ 13K + . I am financing $ 10K and my payments are 0 a month. I have pretty good credit so that helped a lot. hope this info helps prospect buyers of Honda Fury. Thanks for watching

Instagram has backed away from controversial changes it planned to make to its terms of service. Co-founder Kevin Systrom has used the company blog to announce that the most sensitive phrase in the terms will be revised. The update would have given Instagram the right to sell user’s images to third parties without compensating them. Systrom says this was never the company’s intention. Instead, he says, wording will be developed to allow it to associate information such as users’ profile images with commercial postings (as Instagram’s owners, Facebook, do).
