Welcome to the darkside!

' Dark side of the lens' is an incredibly inspiring video—a short film of a surf photographer directed by Mickey Smith. The first time I viewed it everything in the room literally went silent and I didn't realize until it was over that I had been holding my breath!

It is a story about having passion for what you do and how you see the world and its not about where the destination takes you but to enjoy every minute of it.

The cinematography is just astounding!

Up-cycling at it's best!

I just came across an incredible tweet by 'Metamorphic Gear' that illustrates an incredible way to up cycle plastic bottles. This video really makes you think about what we take for granted and how something as simple as an item we discard everyday can brighten up someones life.Innovative, smart, artistic and functional! are the 4 words that pop into my mind when I saw this.





If you have seen any other ingenious ways to up-cycle plastic bottles feel free to share and let me know.

Upside Down

Today I was introduced to this new artist, Paloma Faith. I find that she is a mix of Amy winehouse, Duffy and funnily enough the lead actress Billie Piper in 'The secret diaries of a call girl'. Don't you all agree?

I have to admit I am particularly in love with this video, I love the artistic creation behind it, with the fun pink, blue balloons and incorporation of the white, pink umbrellas. Definitely google her other videos.

5 Beautiful YouTube Videos

I think that this is the perfect time to post a few other videos, which I have saved the link of in the past. I saved them for various reasons, but mainly because I thought that they were well designed and thought out.
