Don Hudson’s great pictures of suburban America. Click on the pic and rummage around in his Flickr gallery. Lovely stuff.
GO A BIT DEEPER & YOU’LL NEVER BE BORED: John Bateson’s entertaining presentation to 8x8 London. It’s all about inspiration, and looking more deeply into things than maybe we do these days.
Sadly, having exposed his wedding picture here he will probably kill me, which will be unfortunate as I count him as a hugely important friend. Suffice to say, this was 1973 so everything that happened in that decade is absolutely forgiven, and he is now very cool indeed. This might just save my life.

FRIENDS RE_EMERGED: This is a bit of {ps} London’s web site, the site itself is both entertaining and unpretentious, which is pretty hard to pull of most times. Click on the image and take a look…
HOT POTATOES: We like this idea. Local spuds eaten only a few miles from where they grew up.
TYPEFACE A LA MODE: Harry Obese Squeezed.
DAM CYCLISTS: These Slovakian single-speeders got to ride the collection pool of a hydroelectric power station prior to it being filled with water (Pics by keki&subtilen). I say it was a once in a lifetime chance. Lucky them.
CAPTION UNNECESSARY: Classic sporting shot form the talented Konrad Jakubowski (see the set at his behance gallery: http://www.behance.net/Gallery/New-York-Road-Runners/249621
TODAY’S TO-DO: Stuff I have to do.
HERE’S WHY “AMERICA IS F***ED”: A truly impassioned plea from a man who knows his stuff (http://www.draplin.com). Based on a small, but obviously significant event. I’d like this man to direct my next shoot please.
ENVY IS AN UGLY THING: across the block from my hotel, through the huge slab of impenetrable glass I have as a window, I can see the Hilton Hotel. The Hilton’s rooms have four small windows either side of their picture window which you can open and allow the lovely cool June night air into your room while you sleep. I’m staying at the Crown Plaza, with its hermetically sealed rooms, so I have to make do with a ludicrously unnecessary air conditioning system to regulate my room’s temperature. Every morning I draw my curtains (drapes) across the acres of glass and look with envy at those open Hilton windows.
