Social Network Statistics

Some rather big number crunching going on here with regard to the growing social network scene. Although read some of the comments here for a more objective viewpoint. Still impressive all the same.

Huxley vs Orwell

A brilliant cartoon pitching Aldous Huxley's 'Brave New World' against George Orwell's 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' in a battle over whose predictions became reality. Social and political atrophy seems to be the winner.

Last Suppers

A series of photographs by James Reynolds documenting former Death Row prisoners' requests for their last meal before execution.

More than just a candle

The candle is one of the oldest inventions, so recreating it has to be something special. Christoph van Bömmel has done it with the Bravit candle which uses distinct wick pattern weaves. When lit it creates a dance of flames which changes direction and divides.

I'm a Photographer, not a Terrorist!

I'm a Photographer, not a Terrorist! is an organisation setting out to help photographers in Britain understand their legal rights and provide a universal voice against the erosion of not just press freedom, but an individual's right to carry a camera and take photos.

The introduction of a new law, Section 76 of the Counter Terrorism Act, meant that anyone taking a photograph of a police officer could be committing an offense, and therefore subjected to a possible stop and search. The web site provides useful information such as the 'Bust Card' which outlines the rights and police powers under Section 44 of the Terrorism Act 2000, as well as a map showing restricted access for photographers in Britain.
