The Sartorialist....

In my last PPP1 session we were told to look at a blog that we found/followed, and explain what we liked about it.  I looked at a blog called The Sartorialist.  The Sartorialist is a photography centred around fashion and street photography.  The author, Scott Schuman, walks the streets of NYC and other major cities looking for people that catch his eye.  The blog has a very simplistic design, which makes it easy to concentrate on the content of the blog.  At the side of the page, there are related posts, and the blogs archive of posts.  There are very little words in the posts, but I don't think this matters as the photos speak for themselves.

Overall, I like the simplicity of the blog, and the content.  The layout makes it very easy to navigate around.

One Day Brief - Flash Fiction.

Today we were set a one day brief.  We picked at random a piece of flash fiction; a story with a specific word count.  We then had to create 5 images that would accompany and help illustrate the text.  This was then presented at the end of the day in a 6 slide powerpoint.  At first I was unsure about the brief, but as it progressed, I found myself enjoying it more and more.  Here are the images and the text:

Nathan was finally asleep after hours of restlessness.  Thoughts and dreams filled his head.  After only a few minutes his phone rang.  He jumped out his of skin.  Abusive language threatened him and frightened him.  He was all alone.
