This wonderful film makers Liberty Smith and Sophie Windsor Clive has captured for us the amazing phenomenon of murmuration when thousands of starlings fly and swirl collectively in preparation for nesting and protect themselves against predators.

lorenzo audet postcards

I’ve held onto this 1950′s card I received years ago of a womens’ prison in Quebec. It looks like a hotel for Hobbits. Where are these women? Did they ever get to ramble in those green expansive looking fields of grass? Did publisher Lorenzo Audet’s photographer crop this tudor fantasy fortress to omit the fences and gates that would give this a more ominous look? It almost looks like it could be a happy place and we know that it is not. This incongruency is provoking as are all those straightforward architechtural photos of the period. We know what has become of the world and all the things that can happen inside and out.

Beckham promo

AS I was walking by the H&M store on 34th and 7th in Manhattan I received this promo item handed out from a young lady. These little booklets 3.25w X 4.25h inches have 24 pages of black and white shots of Mr. Beckham in his new line of bodywear.
I was more excited by the format of the vehicle than Mr. Beckhams vehicle (If you know what I mean;))
I love these little surprise gifts that Manhattan can deliver when you least expect it. This will be added to my collection of Promo inspiration. I’m working on my own at present and this definitely offered me inspiration .
Too bad I was in a hurry I might have disguised myself and gone back and forth accumulating a nice inventory for ebay! Mr. B. certainly is a collectible.
