Breakfast Interrupted

イオンから見せてもらった本当に面白いビデオ。食べ物が勿体ないけど本当にきれいだと思うからドンマイ！

Everything looks better in slow motion.

"One of our most recent shoots, titled Breakfast Interrupted, is now live for your viewing pleasure. Shot primarily with the Phantom HD Gold at 1000fps, the piece is designed to showcase food in a beautiful and unusual way. Hit the jump for the BTS video and photos.

The idea was brought to us by our friends at the Marlin Network, for their annual breakfast event."

French Connection -- This is The WOMAN

Pirates Of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides' Astrid Berges-Frisbey stars in the French Connection Advertisement.  She played the part of a mermaid captured by the pirates.

I think she's unbelievably stunning.

日本二ヶ月後。

"On March 11, the 9.0-magnitude earthquake and tsunami struck northeastern Japan. As of today, nearly 15,000 deaths have been confirmed, and more than 10,000 remain listed as missing. In some coastal communities, where the ground has sunk lower than the high tide mark, residents are still adjusting to twice-daily flooding. Many thousands still reside in temporary shelters because their homes were either destroyed or lie within the exclusion zone around the damaged Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant. Now that tourism season has arrived, Japan -- especially Fukushima prefecture -- is finding itself hit by yet another disaster: visits to the country have dropped by 50 percent. Collected below are images from the tsunami-affected areas of Japan over the past several weeks."

New Era of Dance (TWO)

Show Me The Money: Petey Pablo 

From: Opening of Step Up (2006)

I've always loved this dance sequence, from when I first watched Step Up.  Interesting concept of hiphop vs ballet.  I hope to choreograph a fusion of these dances one day!

告白

告白　Kokuhaku (Confession) Movie.

Premiered 5 June 2010.

Directed by: Tetsuya Nakashima.

Based on best-seller, award-winning [thriller mystery] novel written by: Kanae Minato.

Cast: Matsu Takako, Yoshino Kimura, Masaki Okada.

Daughter of school teacher brutally murdered - Violent revenge - 3 suspected students - Confession.

An amazingly filmed and thought-out movie.  The way the camera moves is beautiful.  The artistic aspects mixed in with the thriller story-line makes the film eerie and beautifully scary.  So many heart-racing moments along with plot twists that makes you cock your head to the side and open your eyes with awe.  Really grasps the Japanese culture...  Scary though.

The Pirates are back!

“What I am doing today surprises nobody more than myself”, claims Cole,
 a self-taught photographic artist who has built an extraordinary career in
image making over the past two decades.

Since dropping out of high school to discover what it was she wanted to
do, it seems that photography found her, identified her and ultimately
saved her. 

Working as a model in her teens, Barbara was offered a job a
as fashion editor for a then fledgling daily newspaper, “The Toronto Sun.”
That led into an opportunity to shoot the weekly fashion spreads.

Barbara used this time to develop her skills enough to open her own
photographic studio in the early eighties. Since then, Barbara has sampled
directing via television commercials, worked for an extensive list of
advertising clients all the while carefully juggling her treasured artistic career.



Barbara always remains true to her artistic vision carefully following her inner
voice. Her work is exhibited world-wide and Barbara is widely collected by
both public and private institutions.
