Seoul Photos I

Some vintage ceramics sold at markets in Insadong

I was lucky enough to head to Seoul for a week last month and am only finally getting around to posting some phone photos now. It was a wonderful trip: such a bustling and diverse city - I loved it even more than I thought I would. I'll post more as I cull through them all.

Disney Love

Two beautiful videos which make me both love Disney and people's imaginations. Happy Friday!

The Art Project

Internet, have you seen what you can do, lately? Have a look at this incredible new project for art lovers (and tech geeks, too, I suppose). You can, from the luxury of your desktop, stroll through 17 of the major galleries of the world. And on some paintings, even zoom up close to see unbelieveable detail. Check it out here: be warned, it's a time sink!
