Web Log

Today, Friday, 19th April, 2013, I watched Jessi Arrington's talk at TYPO San Francisco.

Which made me google Milton Glaser and then Mike Monteiro, followed by watching this:

2011/03 Mike Monteiro | F*ck You. Pay Me. from San Francisco Creative Mornings on Vimeo.

Trying to embed the above led to the shocking discovery that I didn't have an account with vimeo.

Going through a pile of accumulated papers, lead to the looking up of a bunch of Swiss photographers. I decided to put Ornella Cacace onto my blog following list. She's shooting Saison Küche chef Ralf Schelling on his grocery shopping trips. I was subscribed to SK when he first showed up; SK seems to want to turn him into a Swiss Jamie O.; or sumthin'. Don't know how that's going, my subscription ended right after that issue.

I also found this fabulousness:



It is by Diane Steverlynck, to be had at Objekten, except that it is "out of stock due to success. Please contact us to pre-order" - I really would, if you'd let me know the price up front. I'd feel funny to to contact them along the lines of "I'd like to pre-order, but how much is it so I'm sure I need it."

It was rainy as forecast. The news out of the US are horrible, and in CH Credit Suisse employees are no longer allowed to have plants in their offices. Supposedly that's a money saving measure. Say what?
