Welcome to random notes, a semi-regular, almost-daily and completely platitudinous collection of text, pixels, links and other finds from the web

A picture of what is Queen Elizabeth Walk in Singapore when it was still a bustling, disorganized port of call (Taken in July 1970 by Carl Mydans for LIFE)

Millions of photos from LIFE magazine are now archived on Google Images. And the large-resolution versions are available for purchase as prints, too. I found a slew of Singapore-related images and they are awesome (if you’re a nostalgia/history buff) but I just wish there were more information on the images’ locations and context. Maybe Google and LIFE could extend the Google Image Labeler to this outstanding resource one day and make it even more useful.

Beautiful photography for the British Airways’ outdoor ad campaign
Very nice photography for British Airways but what’s the point when BA’s staff can’t hold their shit together, eh? But great photography nonetheless from a team of about five photographers — see the other images here.

This image is the result of a completely analogue process
Bending Light, Twisting Light and Taming Light are all beautiful images of refracted patterns of light that were captured directly onto film. Awesome analogue beauty.
