Simon De Glanville’s close-up fisheye photos of pigeons in London

The Daily Mail has a fascinating look at the photographic work of Simon De Glanville, a resident of London who puts out chips, bread, kebabs and even curries to bring pigeons closer to his camera lens.

When he’s not in London’s park feeding pigeons, Simon is a traveling wildlife cameraman, helping to film documentaries about some of nature’s animals and beasts. Simon feels that sometimes people overlook the creatures that lurk in their own backyard and thus miss a chance at seeing some real beauty in their neighborhoods.

As you can imagine, Simon’s food sometimes compels other animals to his camera such as squirrels, dogs, and ducks, and The Daily Mail has pictures of some of these animals as well.

Graphic Design: The Forgotten Web Standard – Slides in 3 Minutes from Carsonified on Vimeo.

Watch this amazing sped-up time-lapse video of Mike Kus designing his slides for a presentation he gave about graphic design at FOWD London 2009. I wish I was as competent as he was in Photoshop. He makes it look so easy!

If you want to see his final presentation slideshow, you can do so here (his presentation was titled “Graphic Design: The Forgotten Web Standard”).

This is old but it’s the first time I’m seeing it because Yelena just sent it over. Here’s a video from Wednesday, November 12, 2008 of the G.O.O.D. Music after party in London. Performing in this video are members of De La Soul, Mos Def, Damon Albarn, Will I Am, and Nas, with appearances by a long list of hip-hop’s finest. This was 10 minutes of straight lyrical genius. Enjoy!
