The 365 Cloud Project is a year-long photographic experiment by multimedia artist Kelly DeLay who shot clouds everyday. He documents the footage, photos and video, on this site and it is cataloged via month, times of day, and by favorites. My favorite time of day is dawn, when the sun is just peeking out, and life forms become illuminated. Patchy clouds make great imagination. It’s such an interesting concept. Oh, it is also nominated for a Webby for best personal blog/website, but that’s not why I like it.

i miss driving late at night while listening to oldies and rock classics under the glimmering street lights.

After publishing with a blackletter logo since 2007, Fashionista decided it was time to reconside and redesign its stoic face as well as swap its back-end CMS from Movable Type to WordPress.

The old logo was this oversized, domineering, gothic lettering thing that said “spiky, aggressive, old-school news brand.” That’s not what Fashionista is. The editors of Fashionista are excellent journalists who will be critical when it’s called for, but they’re also unashamedly fashion lovers. They might poke fun from time to time, but they’re not spiky or unnecessarily aggressive. And they’re also inherently new-generation when it comes to how they go about their business — they use a blog platform, Flip cameras, smartphones and various social media to deliver their content and engage their audience — so unless we were being very ironic with the gothic, old-school newspaper font thing it just wasn’t really appropriate. I’m also a big believer that the logo and furniture on the site should be a little subservient to the content — it’s the content that engages and the content travels well beyond the site too — so we also needed something a little less imposing.

i foresee 2010 to be a better, brighter year.

my new years’ resolutions are:

- become a pescaterian

- drink less alcohol

and i already broke one. day one of 2010, i ordered a peppermint and chamomile tea topped with apricot liqueur at cornelius.

so i changed it accordingly:

- drink less alcohol, more tea with antioxidants and hot cider, please.

- and, to love, dream, and be free in 2010.

Not much has changed since 1975 when New Topographics first opened at the George Eastman House. The state of the world resembled our current predicament — a recession, fuel shortages, and a looming environmental crisis. The exhibition is like a time capsule, looking back on untouched and developing landscapes that consumed the imaginations of photographers who found solace in the linearity of tract homes, trailers, seedy motels, and the artificial shadow cast by palm trees in the California sun. The romantic vision of nature is in question as the photographs contemplate the remaining natural world.
