ajanaku presents stepping stones

Posted on: 19 January 2010

Our good friends over at  AJANAKU are throwing a massive event at the end of the month – as well as being cool, and a fine excuse to party,  the night has the added benefit of raising money for a good cause – Stepping Stones Nigeria – which aims to support and provide education to abandoned and exploited chilkdren in the Niger Delta.

Though we’re gutted we can’t make it (uncharacteristically uncool, we know) – for all our Dutch readers here’s a few more reasons to show your support:

“Free Jameson whisky, Kern Koppen, Lottery, Abstract, Crazy, Stepping Stones, Dirty Priest, 3 Floors, Creative Recreation VIP Room, Garcons Comme d’Hommes, Free Bubbles, Illesta & Clean-Cut, Seven, 2×1 citizenM Nights, Jan Aafoe & Roman Holiday, Menco Nieuwehuis, Collaborations, Mr. Tree, Mike Latina, Creative, 2x Pair of Creative Recreation, Exclusive, Smith Davis, Beats, Pimptendo, and Much More……”

We love London, and we love photography. Similar sentiments are shared by many, and often the love for both can be brought beautifully together – in particular, by friend of coolography, Stuart Gleave. Playful, colourful, imaginative – compositions that make us sit back and fall deeper in love with this city of ours. Having followed his work for some time, we felt a coolography feature was long overdue. Continue reading for a compilation of his favourite London shots as well as a short Q&A…

Now some things are just silly, and some things are just cool. These strike us as a whimsical combination of the two. German based designers Chris&Ruby sought to attach some personality to the humble chair via means of specially knitted socks. Always felt that your desk chair was a bit masculine? Attach some cool grey argyle knits to complete the look. Corner chair not girly enough? Slip on some sporty pink stripes… continue reading »

nyle – let the beat build

Posted on: 29 December 2009

Flicking through Vimeo’s Top 25 videos of 2009 – we can’t believe we slept on this. Flipping Lil Wayne’s ‘Let the beat build‘ – Philadelpha born rapper Nyle and a talented musical cast create one of the most visually and acoustically impressive things we’ve seen in a while. Add to this the fact that both audio and video were shot simultaneously in one take with the formidable Red One camera, and you have further reason for coolography approval.

prague 360

Posted on: 20 December 2009

We love a good panorama. And they don’t get much better than this. Currently, the world’s largest spherical panorama photo, 360cities have captured spectacular views of  the Prague skyline. Shot from the top of the Prague TV Tower, the 3d scene simultaneously achieves a high vantage point and also a convenient omission of the city’s controversial eyesore. Shot with a canon 5d mark 2, hundreds of photos were stitched together to produce a final 18 gigapixel image – enough to make any other camera bleed with inadequacy, and with a zoom level that even makes CSI believable. Screenshots of course do it no justice, just have a look for yourselves.
