Day And Night.


A fine art project Stephen Wilkes has produced about New York in the beautiful patches of day and night. “Day to Night embodies a combination of my favorite things to photograph; people on the street melded with epic cityscapes, and the fleeting moments throughout the day and night,” noted the author. Well, we should admit that these exceptionally well done photographs add a surreal dimension to various iconic New York places. To split the landscapes from AM to PM and create such a surrealist effect, Stephen kept his camera at a fixed angle for up to 15 hours, then weaved and blended the shots into one frame. Let’s now contemplate all the bustle of the city within these breathtaking shots. Hope, those of you who have never been to NY will have the time to make it up to see this in person.

Sugamo Shinkin: The Rainbow Bank.


Japanese practice Emmanuelle Moureaux Architecture + Design has completed ‘Sugamo Shinkin Bank’, a credit union located in Shimura, Japan.  The design, an offset volume of rainbow-like layers, is the third branch designed by Moureaux, with the first two located in Tokiwadai and Niiza. Both the interior and exterior hit all colors in the spectrum, and at night, the entire building lights up in such a way that you’d never imagine it was only a bank.

Urban Neon Nights: Tokyo.


Tokyo will always be one of my favorite places, from the city sky line to the vending machines, it’s truly a mesmerizing place.  Recently I came across a series of photos showcasing the look of the city at night, and I knew I had to share it. Check the method.

Old School Japanese Street Racing.


Just came across a ridiculous street racing video from the 90′s that takes place in on the bi-ways of Japan.  Although this isn’t a drift video, the two drivers stunt constantly, dipping into lanes just to cut immediately back, and making some of the craziest passes I’ve seen since I moved out of Jersey.  Any racer, novice or experienced can for sure recognize the amount of skill (and size of balls) required to do some of these moves on an open road.  I also know that the video was not modified to speed up the action, so when it looks like they’re moving at 160 km/h, they really are.
