Smell Like A Man: Old Spice - "Scents for Gents"

This glorious peice of advertising made me chuckle...

"Scents for Gents", new US Old Spice ad by W&K Portland,

They should run this in the UK - with absolutely no changes.

Two Beautiful Videos: South Pacific Surfing and Niagara Falls in Motion

Today, two stunning peices of video brightened up my Monday.

The first (set) is from South Pacific; Shown on BBC2 a couple of months ago, a HD super slow motion video of big wave surfer Dylan Longbottom in a 12 foot monster barrel - the first shots of their kind ever recorded.

A simply stunning peice of camera work - I've watched this several times now and it still leaves the hairs on my neck standing on end ... simply beautiful.

Please watch in HD

The second video set is by a chap called Matthew Wartman. Matthew lives next to Niagara Falls and he's used his Nikon D90 to create a stop motion video of the city, filmed over 3 nights.

Once again, stunning.

Enjoy
