CFS Loves 61

by Amber on May 16, 2010

  • Photography’s longest exposure – a pinhole camera was strapped to the side of a bridge in Bristol for 6 months.
  • Ensuite – A collection of inspired and inspiring things as seen by Clarisse Demory from Paris.

  • The Graffyard uses QR codes to preserve grafiti after it’s been scrubbed off – yow, what an idea!
  • WANT: A Julian scarf from Wintercheck. It’s a scarf with zip pockets in the side, for stashing you keys, cellphone and expensive things you shouldn’t take out and about with you, but you do. The perfect solution to mega bags and overstuffed pockets.

Hi Europe!

by Amber on May 16, 2010

In one month I am going to hop on a plane, watch a ton of bad films, eat some awful food and read some trashy magazines; have a brief jaunt in Korea, and then, 48 hours later, touch down at Heathrow. Thanks to Creative Cities and the British Council, I’m on my way to the London Festival of Architecture!

I’m pretty chuffed. London and I got acquainted briefly last year – but I am thrilled to have another chance to spend some quality time exploring the city, and a discipline (architecture) that really appeals to me. I will be blogging madly for Creative Cities and doing my usual travelogues on Code For Something.

You know what else appeals?  A mini European summer…

Yay! I’ve never been to the Continent before. Not sure where I’m going, but there’s still 26 days to plan. So where’s good to hang out in (Western) Europe? As always, if you have any hot tips I’d love to hear them.
