Fountain of Restoration
A luminous meditation on renewal and self-reinvention. As the opening track of the 2014 audiovisual series BLUE, it follows the protagonist as she leaves the past behind—“dust to dust”—and ventures beyond the familiar fringe of the woods into uncharted territory. Through powerful water imagery of surging fountains, tides, and giant waves, the song captures the cleansing of old wounds, the gathering of inner strength, and the quiet determination to push through cold and ache t

Congress in Prague
Heatwave omega dome on, phew. But still so glad to have visited with about 1800 ophthalmologists from around the world. Prague is a fairytale, a tiny gem packed with medieval charm. Narrow old cobblestone streets, stunning complementry varied architecture, and pleasing views around every corner. Beautiful and magical. At the heart, a 600 year old 500m long royally majestic arch bridge sits across the winding river Vltava, and an astronomical clock, a mind-blowin masterpiece t

Vertical Ambition: The Symbolism of Skyscrapers
Embodying human ambition, technological prowess, economic power, and cultural aspiration. Since their emergence in the late 19th century, these neck-craning giants have served as modern equivalents to ancient monuments like pyramids or cathedrals - monuments to progress, dominance, and the desire to reach toward the heavens. Louis Sullivan, the "father of skyscrapers", emphasized their verticality as expressing "the force and power of altitude... the glory and pride of exalta

The slightest, most effective touch
Drawn in...bobbing boats, gentle breeze, flickering lights, hanging fog....& the soul of Anthony Scott Burns pouring out again. Atmosphere creation for a new video game, maybe. Soundtrack life giving element definitely. Teaser trailer, wow. The art director of this psychological horror is Paul Abbott; inspiration drew heavily from his own childhood in small misty fishing towns to nail the eerie realism, textures and details. Almost real, the Unreal Engine 5, using its Lumen l

Rain on one shoulder
Jane Eyre, Charlotte Brontë, & the AI that echoes their storm. Walk through Thornfield's gardens with Jane - gravel underfoot, Pilot's nose nudging her hand, making up with the master's horse. Adele darting somwhere inside, head indoors to Thornfield hallway. There stands a portrait of the brooding Mr. Rochester. Words paint the imagination of the mind. Seal in light, sound, and that quiet, electric shiver she feels before she even knows why. Charlotte Brontë didn't write wea

Lit by Lies: Film Noir
Flickering flames, dancing high on drama and mystery. From a visual standpoint, film noir is a masterclass in shadow and suggestion. Its signature look - deep contrasts of light and darkness, oblique camera angles, cigarette smoke curling through Venetian-blind slats - creates a world where morality itself seems obscured. The high-contrast black‑and‑white cinematography wasn’t just a stylistic choice but a psychological one, using stark lighting to mirror fractured identities

Glideoscope
Dawn a marvellous new era of ice skating: its like joining in. Made mesmerizingly more magic through innovative on-ice videography. Let the camera fly alongside skaters for stunningly smooth, fluid close-ups. Standing out quite rightly with millions of views, Oona and Gage Brown's sibling closeness, superbly choreographed routines are totally captivating - super sharp edges, soaring statueque lifts, balletic gyroscope spins, lowest cutting corners. Unfolded for us in hypnotic

Pel, proof and pretence
The illusion we’re all falling for.....in both good and bad ways. AI and CGI have become double‑edged swords in shaping our perception of reality. On one hand, they enable astonishing creativity - crafting lifelike digital humans, reconstructing history for film or education, and revolutionising medicine, design, and communication. These tools expand imagination and accessibility, allowing artists and scientists alike to simulate worlds once confined to theory. Yet the same r

Cause with a rebel
Mr James Dean blazed gold across the silver screen more like a massive flaming meteor - brief, brilliant, and forever etched in stardust - capturing the raw ache of youth with a gaze that pierced the soul and a slouch that screamed rebellion. In just three films, he shattered Hollywood's polished facade, baring a method-acting vulnerability that made Cal Trask's torment palpably real and Jett Rink's lonely ambition heartbreakingly human, earning him the rare honor of two post
