The past in the future

Fantastic image by Joe Robson of what the Euston Arch could look like, if it were ever to be rebuilt. So imaginative, inspirational, and hopefully, realistic – at least if these people get their way http://www.eustonarch.org/ 

I shaln’t bother with a long explanation here – they have plenty there – but look on the website for pictures of what it looked like before it was torn down, join their facebook group and generally show your support. In a time where humanity and its future tends to be looked upon with such pessimism – even apocalyism – it’s a great reminder of a heroic, optimistic vision of the future, that perhaps some day we’ll recapture.  Here’s a great little video of the suprising resting place of some of the stones.

Great little documentary about the Sartorialist, or rather the man and the thinking behind the camera. The Sartorialist is a fantastic, pure, beautiful blog, but this documentary is interesting even if you’re not interested in photography or fashion. He’s got lots to say about the internet, the world, all sorts, and comes across as a really thoughtful, interesting and gentle man. The builder’s boots moment really is wonderful. Please take a look at http://the sartorialist.blogspot.com. I’ve posted the video here too.
