command malfunction...

same/same number 4

odd isn't it that 'brands' spend time, money and effort position themselves as such individuals and end up as noisy 'wallpaper', one indecipherable from the other...watch out...!!...roxy outbreak!!!...

new zealand part 2



i'm fairly sure that everyone that is lucky to visit here will be nothing but stunned by the natural phenomenon's all around, even though we both nearly copped it trying to get this shot but it was worth it looking through my photos today it made me smile again...this was just after we had been out here looking at these...



after we'd spotted 5 sperm whales and the sun was starting to sneak away a school of dolphins dropped in (about 150 of them!!) and decided to swim along for a while, they really seemed to sense our glee, as when one of them flipped out the water and we all screamed it sent off a kind of chain reaction in the scchhol that they all started to vie for the attention...fyi, dolphins feel like hard boiled eggs...



oh , and harry tried to a flip in homage but failed...



i urge everyone to go to kaikora...





a surprise smash...

omfg...

its not often i actually post something of vague relevance to what i do but some things are just too spectacular too not share...the sigur ros influence doesn't really need to be mentioned...the piano allways manages to throw me hurtling back to the piano playing household i grew up in...wow...

welcome to new zealand...

Well its been a few weeks and it really is far too slack to have not posted up some of the magical things that occured down there...i seem to have had a habit of pictures up text down so im going to try and give some half decent explanation on the images to that proceed...

It was true pleasure to be invited down there and the stereotypical kiwi hospitality seemed to flow thick and fast...even my telly said hello to me...



whilst on the plane id been so jetlagged i'd forgotten that id snapped this...



(an image which actually ended up in my talk at semi-permanent days later)...i started to hum when i saw it and i guess it made me wonder about how your environment effects you, fairly pertinent to the book i was reading at the time...which we should all delve into if we want to understand more about this kind of thing...or maybe just look and marvel at them...

so after our arrival, me, harry and phil went for the usual wonky drift about in auckland, jetlag is sometimes a blessing and so is rain when you're a brit away from home as it made us huddle away from meandering and have a good old chinwag about the state of all things creative industy related and made us all feel better about what phil called the 'draw of shame' that everyone has in their studio (work that should never see the light again and be best forgotten)...allthough he did show one of his pieces from the draw which is actually quite nice ( go to more work/dyson - campaign)...WARNING!!!...never ask phil about washing machines as he really can wax lyrical about them for longer than you might think...on our search for junk, as all designers have a habit of spending their time doing i came accross this which has lost in translation slapped all over it... tho'...



and i'm not too sure what the oap's are up to over there but maybe this is another oddment (hopefully) confused only on its name...

someone tell tim berners-lee...

we found it...
