Best wishes for a lovely few days! Be safe, be happy, be warm. Or cool! I am feeling the humidity today. So is an abstracted photo of snow falling really appropriate when I’m wearing a summer frock, bare shoulders and sandals? I will be back in a few days with my 2009 style resolutions. Until [...]

Somehow I don’t think the keytar is going to work for us as a gift under the tree these holidays, whether giving or receiving. They’re much bigger than I ever expected!
Thankfully, there’s a more suitable stocking sized alternative - a stylophone! This miniature stylus operated synthesizer is a recreation of the 1967 classic. It’s famed [...]

Oh dear. Technical issues are abounding here at the Code For Something fort - resulting in many lost months worth of your lovely comments. Just how many there were surprised me… So while we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving in New Zealand, I think this is an appropriate time to get on board with gratitude.
Thank you for [...]

A simple musing, but why aren’t there more yellow houses? Sunny, cute adobes that smile out of grey streets. I’m dreaming of egg yolk weatherboards with robin blue trims. Apartment blocks that look like giant cadmium yellow liquorice all-sorts. Mini limoncello cottages…
Perhaps I need to journey to San Fransisco or perhaps Arles, as per Vincent’s [...]

It was my birthday a week ago… 23! On one hand I feel like I’m getting rather old, on the other I feel like a tiny lamb ready to take on the world. To celebrate I had a party with (most of) my favourite people and watched New Zealand’s election while eating politically themed cupcakes. [...]

Hints and tips for aspiring writers. These are my favourite little snippets from my notebook, collected over the years - while originally jotted down in the context of copy writing, they apply to bloggers, fiction writers and lyricists too. I thought I would share - hopefully they are of some use to you!
- Show people, [...]
Sometimes emotion just wells, triggered from some residual memory or dream. This photo sparked such feelings - it makes me so incredibly happy. Why? I’m not sure - but I see an entire movie in it, a life breathing through.
As a side note; once upon a time I bought a working photo-booth but had to [...]

Julian Wolkenstein is a London based photographer who took these very droll pictures of horses, primped and preened with buckets of hair extensions. It’s a beautifully simple idea, well executed. The F Stop has an interview with Julian that explores his process deeply and he has some good tips for aspiring photographers. Or you can [...]
