Transportation
These guys are confused about whether they are producing an electric bicycle or a video game trailer. The M55-EVO‑1 brings mindless ePR to the fore.
Three nice black and white images of motos in India. Old school, good photography.
I’ve shown you more than one collection of pictures of the odd things that people do with the Ruckus. How about a switch of brands for a look at what you can do with Yamaha Fino.
Another Julian Dupont hooligan video. This time in Jeruselam and Tel Aviv. Must be nice to have Red Bull to watch your back while you stunt like a fool. (RB hires some of the best video crews in the business.) Music.
Society, Culture , and History
Astonishing things lurk in the files and archive boxes of many nations. Recently a Duke grad student (USA) found the only known copy of Haitian Declaration of Independence. Originally printed by the new government in 1804 there are no copies from the first printing in Haiti. Or France, or anywhere else as far as scholars knew. But Julia Garfield found one in the collection of papers of relating to the colonial governance of Jamaica held at the British National Archives.
Images
Yulia Brodskaya has been featured here before. This new poster for the Stern Grove music festival is happy, summery, and almost makes the sun come out all on it’s own. Details of the print production provided.
Otto Nero runs an Italian motorcycle blog. In this post he provides a nice collection of street art images featuring motos. A couple of classics and one or two silly little things.
Nice interview with Tom Whalen and a selection of his images. Whalen is one of the people who’s been defining “new modernernism” Though I doubt he’d use the words himself. He thinks more in terms of the comic books and super heroes.
