Объект 221 - ЗКП ЧФ (Запасной Командный Пункт Черноморского флота)

Alsu26

Визитная карточка Алсу - так называемые "штаны" - разветвление главной магистрали на блоки, дренажки и прочие. На фотографиях далее несколько вариантов прорисовки освещения в штольнях. Размер их таков, что там камаз запросто проедет.

Shanghai Tuesday

Dsc03777

This is an advertisement for a lampost cleaning company

Dsc03779

This is the inside of the place where I am training - looks like the Guggenheim

Dsc03781

This is one of the guys I am training - he's from Hong Kong.  They always hold their arms out like that there.  It's a sign of respect.

Dsc03773

The window inthe bathroom had a nice pattern on it. Taking pictures in the men's bathroom makes you look pretty strange though.

Dsc03778

This is the schematic view of Flame, the compositing system that I'm teaching these people in Shanghai about.

How I Misspent My Summer Vacation

By Geoff Dyer (Author of Yoga For People Who Can't Be Bothered To Do It, which I recommended to my brother, to his annoyance)

Death_valley_1

     Where are the best places in the world to take drugs? Well, it depends on the drugs, of course, but generally speaking, somewhere hot with clear blue skies — where there is not too much chance of getting into trouble — works nicely. Grozny in January would be a very bad place to take drugs of any kind. Saudi Arabia, though sunny, puts you at the risk of becoming paranoid. Many people speak highly of Ibiza, and Amsterdam remains an enduringly popular destination for those who enjoy a weekend binge on mushrooms or a wide choice of marijuana. For the more adventurous, site- and substance-specific expeditions — Iboga in Gabon, Ayahuasca in the Amazon — are becoming increasingly popular choices. Trips like these, however, are not for the faint of heart. What about the moderate psycho-active traveler,the kind of person who likes smoking grass and is not averse, if the circumstances are propitious, to doing an occasional hit of acid; the kind of person for whom snorkeling in the clear turquoise waters of the Bahamas is extremely nice — but for whom stoned snorkeling in the clear turquoise waters of the Bahamas is one of life’s supreme pleasures?  

(Shamelessly stolen without any permission whatsover in the most irresposible way possible from Colors Magazine, which has an online archive that is really quite brilliant)

*Disclaimer: Kids, ask your parents before taking Ayahuasca

Hotel Künstlerheim Luise

Art_hotel

Another one of those hotels where each room is created by a different artist - like Hotel Fox in Copenhagen, and Hotel Des Arts in San Francisco  This one is in Berlin, within view of the Reichstag building, the Spree river, Friedrichstraße, Unter den Linden, and the Brandenburg Gate.

The picture is room 308, created by Stefan Bree (Hannover):

This light installation is a meditative, playful reflection on sense perception. The best effect is achieved in the dark with the UV light switched on. A monochrome picture entitled “before I vanish” reflects an image of the viewer that remains “frozen” as a shadowy picture, and only slowly disappears. The lettering installation “Luisiol” is similar. It is a game about sense and senselessness, new languages and meanings. After the lights go off the letters fade slowly; scrabble for the soul, a nice way to fall asleep at the end of a long day.
