Drone photography and videography are becoming big business, from real estate to special effects such as simulating views from aircraft or a bird’s eye. Aerial photography can be simply stunning and even abstract which makes for great photos. With money out there and more and more people getting into using drones for photography, legal questions arise over what you can Continue Reading

Anti-Gravity Boots: London Shoe Artwork Defies Laws & Physics
[ By WebUrbanist in Art & Street Art & Graffiti. ]
There are many theories, but no one is quite sure where the practice of throwing shoes over raised urban infrastructure started. Some suggest bullies take shoes from other kids and toss them over power and telephone lines; other think it could be a way of marking gang or drug-dealing territories. Or perhaps people just make and lose bad bets, paying the price with sore feet.
Whatever the reason, London street artist Pejac (images by Gary Van Handley) has taken the shoe-on-a-wire concept to the next level, with individual and paired shoes seeming to hang upside-down, pulled inexplicably toward the sky. Presumably to minimize annoyance to the city (and possible damage to critical lines), the artist in this case opted to use poles rather than wires for support.
Titled Downside Up, this series of shoe art installations across East London are in part a series of street artworks but also a viral marketing campaign for an upcoming solo exhibit. Pejac is well known for both silly and thought-provoking interventions, often manipulating built environments in subtle ways by pealing paint or through small installations easily missed by less observant passersby.

No Ice Cream in Back Pockets: America’s Weirdest Laws
[ By Steph in Art & Photography & Video. ]
In Alabama, it is illegal to carry an ice cream cone in your back pocket. But New York-based photographer Olivia Locher is a rule-breaker, and she’s got the photo series to prove it. In ‘I Fought the Law,’ Locher visually documents dozens of ridiculous laws from around the country, including some real head-scratchers that make you wonder how they ever got on the books in the first place.
In Utah, you’d better not walk down the street carrying a violin in a paper bag, and in California, riding a bicycle in a swimming pool is strictly prohibited. Pickles must bounce to be legally considered pickles in Connecticut, and in Hawaii, you can’t walk around with coins in your ears.
Kansas makes it illegal to serve wine in teacups, while Wisconsin won’t let you serve apple pie in public restaurants without cheese. In Oregon, you’re not allowed to test your physical endurance while driving a car on the highway. If you want to sell logs in Tennessee, they better not be hollow.
The photos highlight just how absurd and outdated these laws really are (though most of them are likely not enforced much anymore.) See the whole series (including some that are NSFW) at Olivia Locher’s website and tumblr.

Newton’s Laws of Motion illustrated with 3D animations and motion graphics
A fun little video project I did illustrating Isaac Newton’s three laws of motion. The music is original as are the 3D animations and motion graphics. Let me know what you think about it. Does it effectively illustrate the concepts? I’d like to do more of these types of videos.
