This is another great stop-motion animation by directed by Vincent Pianina and Lorenzo Papace.  It is actually a music video for the song Østersøen by Papace’s band called Ödland. I love the antiquated look the video is able to pull off, and it fits well with the style of recording used for the song.  It seems that music videos increasingly tend to distract from the music they’re accompanying, so it’s nice to see a band...

So I’ve been a little under the weather this week, and haven’t had a chance to update the blog until now.  Apologies for that.  But I’m pretty excited about the two posts for today. I’m not exactly sure why, but I love photos of abandoned buildings.  Sure, overall, abandoned buildings are sort of depressing; but there is usually an abundance of unique and interesting textures created by the dilapidation.

It’s also sort of strange that I came across this, since it...
