Hansandfranz - Troja

I have nothing to say about this LIGHT except for the fact I like the design. It's adjustable arm allow your to direct light horizonally or vertiacally.




Phase #1 of the light series: Natural Light

I thought I would kick things off with Natural Light...

Even if it's just the night sky, to a minor degree my mind gets lost in the stars and the giant moon, especially if it's a full moon(that picture did this concept no justice but it's the best I could find).

Aurora





Wikipedia -
"Auroras,
sometimes called the northern and southern (pola)
lights or aurorae (singular: aurora),
are natural light displays in the sky,
usually observed at night, particularly
in the polar regions."


Keep word there being "at night".

"Aurorae are produced by the collision of
charged particles from Earth's magnetosphere,
mostly electrons but also protons and heavier particles,
with atoms and molecules of Earth's upper atmosphere
(at altitudes above 80 km (50 miles))."

(continue reading here)

What is it about the Aurora that creates a sensation inside me?
The flourescent greens, and red stripes slowly walsing in the night sky, with a deep purply-blue backdrop scattered with pinpricks of light.

I am yet to witness the Northern Lights with my own eyes but nevertheless, I love Aurorae.

::::::COMMON SUBJECT NOTIFICATION::::::

I was thinking about inspiration, and what EXACTLY is it that inspires me. Then it came to me, it was so obvious I don't know how I missed it. It's been something I've been seeking, something that triggers feelings and enhances emotion. So I thought I would share this inspiration which is....lights!
I'm currently writing a song about something which causes a glowing sensation inside me, that thing being light. The thing about it is, it's not just lights, so you couldn't stick me in the sunshine and think I'll be content with the glowing sensation inside me, you couldn't switch a torch on in the middle of the day and expect to switch on that sensation. The condition is...it has to be night time.
I don't know what it is that triggered this off, I can't even remember when this fascination started, alls I know is, recently, this fascination has multiplied. It's triggered off ambitions in me that I want to fulfull. These ambition are mainly destinations that I want to visit.
Over the next few days (and possibly weeks depending on if I want to carry it out any longer), you're going to get an insight into this fascination of mine and perhaps it will trigger off something inside of you.

Ipod Charger and Light

I thought this invention was pretty cool. It seems pretty pointless, it's just a combination of two technologies and serves not greater purpose for the ipod/iphone than to charge it. It look pretty cool though and the light is automatic, switching itself depending on it's low-light position. I can't see it being a hit seller though

Summer Designs by my FAVOURITE drink



When it comes to a nice cool fizzy beverage, Coca Cola tops my taste buds every time. Only at freezing cold does Coke serve it's purpose. That cool sweet flavour pouring down your neck. There is something about red and silver together that makes you wanna buy it (e.g the ferrari)(not too much silver though...that's why I don't touch the diet). As if Coca Cola cans weren't attractive enough, they're making a fashion statement by bringing out a "Summer Collection" (limited edition might I add). They're taking summer themes such as Aviators, Surf Boards, Beach balls, and the great british favourite...the Barbeque.


Selgas Cano Architecture Office

I love this concept. Me personally, I'm more attracted to the busy setting. A lot of people are inspired by nature and tend to find tranquil places to get creative...not me! I'm attracted to the busy settings, the city, city lights at night...love it.
I'm sure there's people out there who would appreciate this office location more than me though. I'm sure people have been thinking about doing this for years. After browsing the internet for all of five seconds, it appears that Selgas Cano is the first to try this. A brilliant innovative move if I may so myself.





It's like Art-on-Art: Ah Xian

This is work by Beijing born contemporary artist Ah Xian who now lives and works in Sydney.
I love this first picture. The second one is okay but the intensity of the engravings in the first sculpture is amazing.

Compact Kitchen

I dont really have anything to say about this design. I mean, I probably wouldn't use it (then again, "I heard marriage can change a man"...or was it "a wife can change a man"...and make him do crazy things like eat a dining table), I still eat while sitting on the sofa.
Regardless of the matter, I love the design. It looks like a drawing when it's all folded in, and it's clever how it all folds out. (Going back to the marriage thing, you could hide a romantic meal on the table behind the flaps, and then when the wife comes in, unveil it all and blow her away. I would be even more cool if you could automate it)

Alexander Mcqueen

I'm on a fashion flex right now...not in life, like, it's not a season but at this moment in time, I feel like blogging some fashion...stuff!
So yeh...Alexander McQueen...what a LEDGE (derrived from the word Leg as in the shortened version of Legend). A fashion designer born in East London. 'k, let's skip the bio. I remember reading about him, and how he'd made a jacket for Prince Charles. Now, I'm not a fan of the royal family, and it appears that Alexander isn't neither. He apparently sewed "I am a c**t" into the lining. I don't condone swearing but what a ledge!!! It takes guts to do something like that. I think that his work is pretty "daring". Take his suits for instance.
I love his suits. Ya see, the thing about suit trousers is that the hem of the leg is supposed to sit on the hem of your shoes, but Alex boldly rises the hem giving them a half-mast look. Suits are not something I'd usually wear, nor would I usually wear half-mast trousers, but I would be pretty zealous to wear a McQueen suit.

The Hype that is.....Nike Air Yeezy!


I promised [myself] I would never give Kanye recognition for these trainers on my blog but I folded with the pressure of my blog potentially being out of the loop with the hype...and what I say hype...I mean HYPE!!!!
I've seen an endless amount of video's of people camping outside stores trying to get first dibs on Kanye West's new release of trainers with "sneaker" company Nike. The hype is so crazy that store security are telling people that they're not selling them, in order to get people to stop camping out. Ya see, not all stores are selling them. There are sites that have been set up to inform the consumers where to purchase them, because the store home websites are keeping their lips sealed....now is that hype or is that hype???? (google hype if you don't know what it means)
Check this though. My friend even asked me to go to London with him to que outside a store and buy a pair with him.
Now, I'm broke as a joke, but the thing is, these trainers are going for like, £150 in the stores, but the catch is, you're only allowed to one pair. People are buying a pair of Air Yeezys and then flogging them on ebay for 4 TIMES THE PRICE!!!...is that hype or is that hype. So what my friend wants me to do is go to London with him (he said he'll pay for my travel expenses there, and give me £50 ontop of that) so that he can buy a pair, then get me to buy another pair for him, so that he can sell one pair on ebay and make his money back...

I personally thought that these trainers were overrated or overhyped but think again. These trainers come in such FRESH colours aswell as the souls being made from Glow in the dark material (which I think is to match Kanye's Glow in the Dark Tour theme). PLUS.....(the only thing that matters too, is that...)....the trainers look pretty fly on your foot too!
Despite my "Ghostdesigner conspiracy" theory...the verdict is...Kanye...YOU ARE...A GENIUS!



I call this the OOOWWWWW-di D7



Audi D7
I know I'm abit late with this one but...this is the kinda car I want..I'd never take this bad boy past 15mph...maybe 20. It ain't about the speed....it's about cruising...It's about driving so slow, pededtrians can see exactly who's driving.
I think Audio have defo blown every other car I've seen, out the water. (That Chanel Fione wasn't even nice, I just posted it cos I thought it was wierd that Chanel was designing cars). I don't think this D7 has actually been constructed. You'll find it online under the title, "Audi D7 Concept"....alls I can say is, "Get it MADE!".
This car is by Iranian designer Kave Naser Bakht. The thing I love about this is the LED light that runs around the car. The shape is exagerated giving the complete design a futuristic look. But place it on the city street of New York or London...you get a "FLY" look (google the definition of the slang word: fly)...you get a "FRESH" look (google that too). Or place it on my favourite city (which I'm yet to visit), Tokyo!
The off-putting thing for me is the electric motor. There are certain sensations that you get from a nice roaring diesel engine like an aston martin or whatever (I'm not big on car knowledge....I just know that an aston martin has an angelic roaring tone to it). Nevertheless, it's the green option and as long as it doesn't sound like a K'Nex creation then I'm content.....

Fifth of Life Strife

Okay, so....I'm 19, and I've discovered something about me that nobody has discovered about themselves at this age before. Forget terrible twos, threes or fours. This is beyond yet before a midlife crisis. I call it, 'The Fifth-of-Life Crisis' (see what I did there?). Yeh I made this up. To be honest, this crisis has not come with age at all.

I've come to a point in my life where I'm striving for more in everything: my money, my relationships, and more importantly my walk with God.
The topic of this blog post though is.....MONEY!
The amount of time and effort I put into Facebook, this blog, reading other people's blogs, and twitter, is ridiculous...and what do I gain from it? Limited hype, a wider social group, but otherwise, nothing. This thing about it is...I don't have a job. All the time I put into online 'communication' could be put into getting a job (I have reasons for not doing so), or at least some way of making money.
So, right now, the mind of jezta (moi), is currently ticking away on get rich quick schemes. I need to find a way to make money.

I'm going to break off here before I end up saying something I regret and before I let you in on premature thoughts and concepts or plans. Let's see what happens aye. This is just something I had on my mind that I thought I'd blog. Keeping you up-to-date on current jezta affairs.

Gisele Bündchen by Solve Sundsbo

It was really good browsing the internet to once again see pictures of my wife Gisele (Bündchen) elegantly voguing infront of the camera. For once they were focussing on here best assetts...her stunning gorgeous eyes. I'm not sure I fully understand this first picture, nevertheless I find it pretty stunning.



On a level though, I think this first picture is pretty interesting. It looks as though it could be used for a political civil rights campaign (the black masculine hands grasping the stunning femining face). Her expression displays pois, stature, elegance and position. However, as I progessed through more picutres, I found them becoming a bit more raunchy and borderline inappropriate. Here are the less raunchy ones.




by Norwegian photographer Solve Sundsbo
I think that this, is fashion photography and modelling, to a next level. It actually makes me wonder who actually directed the shots...well, I'm guessing it was Solve. I would love to enter the mind of Solve and understand the concept and aims of these pictures, and the direction he was heading in.
Anyway...I can't help but appreciate all the elements of this shoot, like the choice of mail models; Body building black men (I hate the terms, Black, or coloured but oh well...what could I say...dark brown :S). The images potray all the elements of contrast. Harsh contrasting light creating shadows over their genitals; whereas on most pictures, there is hardly any contrast on Gisele at all. Also the contrast between clothing; the men are fully naked and Gisele wearing swimwear. Also the contrast in skin tones; Gisele being caucasian and the male models being black. The contrast in body types; Gisele being slim, slender, sexy, voluptuous, sensual....(sorry...I'll digress), and the males models being body builders. You could also compare the model poses; the male models being very simple, Gisele being pretty dramatic.
All round great photo's. I would definitely hang these bad boys in my [future] house.
Well done Solve and Gisele. I'm so proud of my wife :)

Some more by Loren Kulesus

You all remember the skateboard right? Well if you search Loren Kulesus, you will be able to find it.
I saw this and thought some of you might be interested in it. I would love to see someone play this on stage. Nice design but I'll be suprised if it sounds any good or even if it's actually playable....
