Im Gespräch mit Owen Perry
Ein Beitrag von: Owen Perry
Ich bin Owen Perry oder „CIRCA 1983“ auf Instagram. Unter diesem Pseudonym mache ich Landschaftsfotografie sowie visuelles und interaktives Design weit draußen an der Küste von Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Kanada. Ich denke, man könnte auch sagen, dass meine Online-Einflüsse eine philosophische und naturschützerische Seite haben.

Keeping up with the big boys? Shooting pro sports with the Sony a7R II
On paper, the Sony a7R II is one of the best-specified cameras we’ve ever tested, and it is generating a lot of interest. We wanted to see whether the a7R II’s impressive specifications live up to their promise in the real world, so we decided to subject it to perhaps the ultimate stress test: a professional sporting event. DPReview writer Jordan Stead headed to a pre-season NFL game to see what the a7R II could bring to the football field. Read more

Your Own Slice of Sky: Pop-Out Windows for Urban Apartments
[ By Steph in Design & Fixtures & Interiors. ]
Few city dwellers are lucky enough to have an outdoor space to call their own, but this pop-out window design offers a view of the sky, even if your window looks directly onto another building. Argentinian architect and Pratt Institute student Aldana Ferrer Garcia debuted her thesis project ‘More Sky’ at the inaugural Dubai Design Week, rethinking the limits of standard urban housing.
Designed to fit within Brooklyn’s building rules and regulations, ‘More Sky’ is a replacement window system that can extend into the outdoors with an accordion-like action. The window comes in three styles: casement niche, awning niche and hopper niche, providing various opening angles and degrees of expansion.
The ‘casement niche’ is a pivoting window seat that lets you safely hang out the window, providing panoramic views. Bring a blanket and a small pillow, and you’ve got the perfect cozy nook for reading or enjoying a cup of coffee.
The ‘hopper niche’ angles straight out, and is strong enough to support a person lounging inside. This angle gives you views of the sky, ideal for apartments that overlook narrow alleyways. The third design, ‘awning niche,’ is an ideal spot for indoor plants that require a lot of sunlight, like herbs.

Classic Art in a Modern World: 35 Masterpieces Reimagined
[ By Steph in Art & Photography & Video. ]
Masterpieces from Greek antiquity through the nineteenth century are literally seen through a modern lens, remade into action figures or inserted into contemporary settings, in this collection of remixed classic art.From auto mechanics styled and posed like Caravaggio subjects to storm troopers as Flemish upperclassmen, these projects bring centuries-old aesthetics into the 21st century.
Auto Mechanics in Renaissance-Style Portraits by Freddy Fabris
Inspiration struck when photographer Freddy Fabris accompanied a friend into a cluttered auto shop, the mechanics and their tools seeming like the perfect subjects for Rembrandt and Renaissance-style portraits. The award-winning series mimics such masterpieces as Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper and Michelangelo’s The Creation of Adam.Classic Statue Action Figures
David, The Thinker and Venus de Milo come to life in the form of posable action figures so you can see these classic statues like you’ve never seen them before. The pre-sale for most of these figures has already ended, but ‘David’ is still available for roughly $ 40.
Classic Art Figures in Contemporary Settings
Angels and other subjects from classic paintings hang out in dive bars, subways and alleys in Alexey Kondakov’s series ‘Art History in Contemporary Life,’ including Hans Holbein’s ‘The Ambassadors’ and the otherworldly female figures of Bougereau.Lego Tribute to Classic Art
