I’ve been doing a bit of trav­el­ing again, recently. Last week I was away at a con­fer­ence and this week­end I find myself in London.

Finally, I’m pick­ing up the cam­era again, mostly for quick snap­shots or to record frag­ments of ideas; even so it feels good.

Here are a few snaps from the last cou­ple of days… typog­ra­phy has been on my mind lately, you may notice:

More later, dear readers…

A brief video of the cur­rent instal­la­tion at the Bar­bi­can in Lon­don by French artist Céleste Boursier-Mougenot which explores the unex­pected rhythms of daily life.

I tweeted about this months ago but some­how over­looked shar­ing this won­der­fully fun art­work here.

On dis­play at the British Library in Lon­don is a paint­ing by British artist, Patrick Hughes:

Beau­ti­ful!

The pass­ing and loss of (Lee) Alexan­der McQueen today is beyond descrip­tion. There is noth­ing I can say that has not already been said, I did not know him but I loved his work. Here are a few of the write-ups in the papers and some of his work that has inspired me over the years:

Ear­lier this week­end, a reader sent me this photo they snapped on a recent trip to Lon­don:

They were amused by the odd mis­sion state­ments or promises of the insti­tu­tion, and thought I might agree that per­haps their aim to “Raise the Dead” was at best inspir­ing, if a bit creepy.
