the blue house


This live/work building, now affectionately known as the blue house, has a cartoon-like billboard character which communicates its function as a home and office. The front has a miniature scale, but the side addressing the main street is big in scale. Built for £300,000, the project makes innovative use of standard construction methods. The house contains a maisonette for family of three, an office and a separate apartment. The significance of the blue house as one of the most important houses built this century is widely recognised, it features prominently in numerous publications including the new edition of Pevsner's Buildings of England.

suzanna majuri


amazing - i found some of her images in a bookshop in helsinki, they jumped out at me

in her words

I suggest: we can be multiple. Touch your enviroment and it
will show itself as fantastic. People are unpredictable. They
are male and female at the same time. Eyes whisper sparks.

The water is the most remarkable. It carries bodies. Water is
colour. The shimmer and the deep green. My challenge is to
see the reality in a non-traditional light. When I am shooting
pictures, I have a premonition that something strange is about
to happen.

I follow the logic of colours, when I combine places, people
and objects. To me the most important quality of photography
is it´s capability to convey emotions.

I suggest: imagine the details a bit further. Who is drawing
trees in to the pond. When you touch the surface of the house
it turns out to be your companion.

I throw myself into a fictive reality in the shootings. My heart
beats wildly when I can feel the presence of surprises. When
you´re in love, but bid farewell to the channel. You forgot the
ship and it sinks. When the fall is unreachable behind the grey
sorrow.

I want to narrate feelings like in novels. The reader of images
gets a chance to handle her lost and encounters. There is a
place for danger. Did you die when you saw the shadow of the
bird?

The language is a map and draws around us, unknown and
familiar.

I believe in a single image. It breaths strong.

Hereford and Borders

No not the offa's dyke borderline, which i crossed several times today. I visited Hereford photo festival today but wasn't over - inspired, i felt like i had already seen most of the images, my fault for reading too many photography magazines. Yes the Julia Fullerton Batten images look amazing 4ft wide, but I knew they would, so not much new there. I did find out the truth about tintern abbey cheese, and it's not good, i'm gonna maybe have to stop saying i like it so much, the tintern monks would not be happy. When I got back to Bristol I felt like i hadn't seen enough new stuff do decided to read lots of architecture and photography magazines in Borders. Blueprint's theme this month is 'the image of architecture' and features pinhole architectural photography and a discussion about 'photo-urbanism' should write on the fotohaus blog really...

snoop dog millionaire


i was going to write no comment under this video, i didn't really like eastern jam or whatever the chase and status tune was called before, and this kind of makes it worse, but good for them highlighting the plight of old rappers needing to make millions to afford their next real estate project, armoured car or whatever they spend their money on these days.
