Nice Microsoft Clip Art photos

Check out these microsoft clip art images:


Breeze / Cinder Block Plinth - Brian Eno Speaker Flowers Sound Installation at Marlborough House
microsoft clip art
Image by Dominic's pics
View this virtual tour of 152 images as a Slideshow

Breeze / cinder block plinth with zigzag surface textures used as a base for a speaker flower sculpture. Steel stalks - which act as an electrical earth to the speakers they support are wound with transparently insulated electrical wire. Crocodile clips are used to secure electrical connections.

See also the related "Brian Eno 77 Million Paintings" set, - an exhibition that ran concurrently at Fabrica Gallery during the festival.

This image is part of a set of photos of the Brian Eno Speaker Flowers Sound Installation at Marlborough House (and also of the house itself) on the Old Steine, Brighton, East sussex, UK. The exhibition was presented by Fabrica Art Gallery, as part of the Brighton Festival, May 2010. The installation includes the poems and words of Rick Holland.

The Grade I listed house was built circa 1765 , purchased at one time by the Duke of Marlborough, and substantially remodelled by the Scottish architect Robert Adam.

Some of the photos in this set are presented in multiple versions made possible using HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography - these variations are displayed with more than one exposure, gamma, "local adaptation" compression or "unsharp mask" process.

Many rooms had their windows screened using coloured Crêpe paper / tissue paper. This gave their illumination a colour cast - which has been exaggerated (or neutralised) on an image by image basis. The actual experience of the coloured light was one of only a slight and soft hue.

In some instances the photos have modified to give an architectural, classical, "two-point" perspective - with forced, parallel verticals.


England!
microsoft clip art
Image by Eleventh Earl of Mar
The office of one of my co-workers.

This has nothing to do with the world cup. It's always like this. If anything, he's toned it down to emphasis the fact that it has nothing to do with that particular competition.


The footnote to this is that we went to Pickwick's pub in Woodland Hills to watch England vs. Sweden - two great goals by England, two rubbish lazy flukey luck bastard goals by Sweden - and while we were there Paul had his silly England flag pointy finger taken by someone.

Paul recovered it from this rather sad looking little bloke who had taken it outside.

When we were walking back to Paul's car, we saw this guy carrying the flag that he had snatched off of Paul's window - the stick part was snapped off, with just the clip and a stub of plastic stick left.

There were something like ten of us watching this guy return to his very battered gold Toyota Camry, and we were shouting after him to bring the flag back. He denied it was Paul's flag and insisted it was his, despite the fact that it was quite obviously broken. We tried to surround the car but he peeled out backwards and sped off down another street. He was a very scary man, the type that might even keep a gun in his car.

Anyway we all had a good laugh about it - very weird behaviour indeed. I bet we see him in Pickwick's again.

Emess Stencil Art Show

Image by urbanartcore.eu
In this series of portraits, Emess uses the well-known prints of the famous personalities depicted on currencies like the dollar, the pound, the Danish and Swedish krona or the Turkish lira. Emess combines the antique handicraft style of wood and copper engraving with the “pop-iness” of modern song titles and beyond that deals with our profane relationship to our beloved money.

Smoke Art - Diva

A few nice art photography images I found:


Smoke Art - Diva
art photography
Image by Feggy Art
Photographing smoke art is one of the most rewarding aspects of home photography. We've all seen the wispy strands that float and glide through the air, but it's not until these trails are frozen in time do we see the true beauty and elegance of their construction.

In many images it's possible to see a subject within the smoke.

The advantage of smoke art photography is that - compared to water droplets - the patterns take longer to form so it's easier to judge when to take the shot. It's when the scene is viewed on the screen that the true diversity and uniqueness of the patterns is realised.

This was processed in Photoshop to highlight the patterns that exist within the formations.

The Barber Institute of Fine Arts - The entrance and steps
fine arts
Image by ell brown
This is the The Barber Institute of Fine Arts building on the University of Birmingham main campus.

It is listed currently as being on University Road, and no longer Edgbaston Park Road (I would assume that University Road is the road that goes from Edgbaston Park Road into the University grounds proper).

It is a Grade II listed building built between 1935 and 1939, designed by architect Robert Atkinson.

It is an art gallery and concert hall, and is an Art Deco building. It was opened by Queen Mary.


1935 completed 1939, architect Robert Atkinson. Sophisticated design marrying
elements of traditional institutional classicism with Dudok inspired stone
dressed brick modern. A 2 storey compact block with shallow full height portal
wing to right hand of front. Ashlar faced ground floor and blind lst floor of
brick with flat coped roofline. The horizontal emphasis of the strip
fenestration of the ground floor is suavely combined with the vertical accent of
the slightly battered portal. The latter is complemented in small scale by
ashlar panels carved with symbols of the Arts on the first floor and reflected
by the visual stop of the larger panel at the end of return east elevation.
The banding and strip fenestration of the front follows round on to the side and
rear elevations giving a crisp linear definition to the design.
