Shooting on a Canon HV40, Jamie Sims filmed his dog plodding through a forest then set the piece to Hammock's "Mono No Aware," a dreamy number that pushes the film into lovely, if a little sentimental, territory. OK, we're going to shoot our roommate watching TV to the sounds of Bach,......read more
"Bonfire," from Ontario, Canada-based duo Evan and Denise (aka Memoryhouse), has a hazy, ethereal feel, with feathery vocals supported by soft acoustic strumming and sparse tambourine flourishes. The Jamie Harley-directed video, featuring a blurry woman running through a field in slow-motion, suits the vibe nicely. Warning: maybe NSFW, depending on where you work....read more
The coastline of North America is one of the most expansive on Earth, extending from the North Pole to the southern tropics. Like other shorelines around the world, it could be completely transformed by climate change. For By Sea, Canadian photographer Scott Conarroe trained his camera on the continent's perimeter, capturing an idyllic coast in advance of cataclysmic climatic upheaval. Connaroe's......read more

But he also happens to be an accomplished photographer. Flipping through Scott's portfolio, it's clear that he has distinct photographic interest in plants.

When the Anthropologist approached David Eustace about a photo project, the Glasgow-born, New York-based photographer decided to to back -- way back -- to his ancestral home in the Scottish Highlands.
