I'm a professional photographer who sometimes gets ideas for photos, designs, gadgets, and other projects. I write about it all on this blog. You can find the meaning behind the name “Ironic Sans” back in the very first post.

I’m taking a French film class in college this semester to fill a general education requirement for my major. We began with the very earliest films, done by the Lumiere brothers. They filmed real scenes from everyday life purely for their interesting qualities of motion and subject. All their unedited clips are 46 seconds long, which is the longest they could record on a roll of film.
The similarities between these earliest films and your “60 Seconds” series are simply striking.

I love that Christo’s gates can only be recognized in the puddle’s reflection—just a hint of time and place. Lovely.
