Nokia N8 Launch in China

During the launch for the N8 in China a pornographic video streamed LIVE causing an awkward/embarassing moment for the Finnish company.



That said they have been going to town on demonstrating the quality of the N8's output. The latest campaigns all challenge creatives to create with or on the new handset, letting the quality speak for itself. In the clip below the image is drawn using a stylus on the N8s touch screen.



And they have also remade Pearl Harbour shot entirely using the phone's built in camera. Using scale models it's a pretty impressive film.

Levis Photo Workshop

The Levi’s Photo Workshop just opened in the former Deitch Gallery in NYC. It celebrates photography’s rich history in New York City and will be a place where photographers (all levels) can collaborate. The Photo Workshop will provide free photography resources including camera rentals of both digital and vintage film cameras alongside the use of studio space and professional lighting equipment. They also have photo printers so that the budding snappers can output their creations. Photographic experts will be on hand to offer guidance and advice in each area.

Power failure - Dazeley documents Battersea's decline

Looking like the inspiration for the set on Lost Dazeley's images record the sad deline of a London icon. See more images here

And if you're into bricks - 61 million bricks were used to build Battersea Power Station. It was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott & built in 1933. It went out of service in 1983.

The question has to be will the redevelopment retain any of this old character? The Tate breathed new life in to Bankside I somehow think the same won't be true of Battersea's reinvention.

Babel Tales project

Get down with Peter Funch's photography. His latest project 'Babel Tales' sees him take thousands of pictures from the same spot - sometimes for up to 15 days at a time. He then goes through them all, identifies a pattern in the content and then stitches them together into a single image.

So it could be only people yawning...



Or only people taking a photo...



Or only people posing for a photo...



Or only doges minus walkers...



Really impressive - check it all out here + there is a nice feature in August's Wired magazine.
