Black Dodge and L’Astrolabe Calendars

I sent two November desktop wallpapers into Smashing Magazine this month titled Black Dodge and L’Astrolabe Research.

Black Dodge is just a really nice old car that’s parked every day outside the Tasmanian School of Art. An iconic piece of industrial design circa yesteryear, particularly the grill and front bumper bar. When cars were designed for style and made out of steel. I’ve got the Black Dodge on my own desktop right now.

L’Astrolabe Research is another industrial design photograph of the scientific research vessel named L’Astrolabe which travels between Hobart, Tasmania and the Antarctic. This shot is capturing the industrial nature of the machine as opposed to the romance of the sea. Man’s mechanistic beast for conquering the elements. Garish, yes. Unforgiving perhaps. But there is beauty in rough textures of the ocean battered research vessel.

I’ve also uploaded a 1024 x 768 version of each for those who don’t run higher resolutions. Black Dodge calendar at 1024 x 768 and Black Dodge no calendar at 1024 x 768. And L’Astrolabe Research calendar at 1024 x 768 and L’Astrolabe Research no calendar at 1024 x 768.

The wallpapers will be available here until the end of the month.

Ansel Adams: The Camera

As the first of three parts of Ansel Adams Photography Series, Ansel Adams: The Camera begins by discussing the idea of visualisation in relation to photography. Ansel Adams is a master of his craft; this series has sat on my backburner for some time. Book 2 in this series is The Negative and it's followed up by The Print. In them Ansel outlines his philosophy of photography rather than trying to lay down a set of rules. This first instalment is a technical book that explains the good old fashion film camera.
