Cool Runnings

Antanarjuat (The Fast Runner), 2001.
Inexplicably, my second ice-related post of the day... I was recently reminded somewhere of this movie, which I think Emily and I saw kind of by accident, killing time one afternoon when it was in theaters. Check it out on DVD, more info here.

The New Norwegian Opera and Ballet, by Oslo-based architecture firm Snøhetta – from this angle at least, I like how it evokes shards/sheets of ice coming out of the water (click to enlarge). Snøhetta was recently chosen to build the forthcoming new addition to SFMOMA – see more of the firm's projects at snoarc.no

Like Sands Through the Hourglass

.
Sorry for being kind of sucky at the bloggin' lately. I realized yesterday that I've designed over 100 CDs and LPs this year so far, which doesn't leave much time for anything else (wah-wah, whatever).

I'll get back to it but here are some photos I've been meaning to post from when Emily and I went out to Moclips over the 4th of July. Hope everyone has a good weekend-
