Time is More Infinite Than We

January 23rd, 2011, 3 Comments »

Regular readers may recall that last fall we recovered a deer skull from a fawn that had died on our Pender Island property.

I was unsure what to do with the thing, until we hit on the idea of commissioning artist Rachael Ashe to make one of her excellent altered books with the skull as the centerpiece.

I handed the skull over to Rachael with a few guidelines, and she created this beautiful piece, entitled “Time is More Infinite Than We” (click to embiggen):

Rachael wrote a detailed, illustrated blog post about how creating the piece, and created this nifty time-lapse video of her working on it:

We’re delighted with the result, and the piece will hang on our walls for years to come.

Time Lapse at Dundas Square

June 10th, 2008, 1 Comment »

I’ve been reading, er, viewing Sam Javanrouh’s terrific photoblog forever. This might be the first video he’s posted. At least, it’s the first video I remember. The caption reads “Chess players at Dundas Square, Toronto. Shot on Canon 5D with 5 seconds intervals. Exposure of 1 second for each frame. Music from Philip Glass’s ‘The Photographer’”.

I’ll include it below, but it’s worth checking out the bigger version on Vimeo.
