Crossing the Atlantic
Producer Anna Bressanin and cameraman Ilya Shnitser of the BBC News swung by the studio a few weeks ago to find out what makes the Post Family tick.
They’ve produced a great little documentary telling our story, which posted to the BBC News Magazine website today.
Cheers guys!

Note Well
Note Well is a new book by Debbie Carlos for 5x7.
Debbie's photos attempt to capture objects at their moments of greatest clarity: In certain light, at a certain time of day, in a certain place. The method is to wander and notice. Moments of quiet strangeness, patterns of light and shadow, minute-by-minute surprises, changes that don’t happen, something askew, something exactly in place, natural and artificial phenomena, are all sources of inspiration, and the subjects for her work.
You can buy a copy here.

CHRIST THAT’S HOT!
Everyone needs a multi-purpose crucifix! Suggested uses are a trivet, short sword, pet grave-cross and something to keep vampires away.

Design for the common good
The theme of the U.S. Pavilion at the 13th International Venice Architecture Biennale–August 29 to November 25—is “spontaneous interventions: design actions for the common good.”
The goal is to archive and promote the current “movement of designers acting on their own initiative to solve problematic urban situations … [from] urban farms to guerilla bike lanes, temporary architecture to poster campaigns … ”
Obviously all manner of public-facing Kickstarter campaigns would indeed be included under this umbrella. In fact, anything demonstrating an “optimistic willingness to venture outside conventional practice and to deploy fresh tactics to make cities more sustainable, accessible, and inclusive“ would be applicable. Sounds like a lot of people we know, and hopefully a lot of people who read this blog that we don’t directly know…
Regardless, the powers-that-be are taking notice and now is the time to take your vision to an international forum.
Submit your projects here … and do it by February 6!

Dante Carlos
Mr. Carlos has a great new portfolio/inspiration/magic secrets site. He is also a senior designer at the Walker. And that makes me jealous. He is also the brother of super talented Chicago photographer, Debbie Carlos. Dang, this family is unstoppable!
