Here be Ghosts…

How to be a Retronaut has to be my favourite blog at the moment. It has some excellent content that gets updated daily. I especially love the juxtaposed shots of old and new in The Ghosts of Amsterdam, The 80-year-old little girl… video with the “spectacular surprise” and 1940s London in stunning hi-res colour… which makes me a little sad that it’s less vibrant, but then there wouldn’t be any of the Ghost Signs that I enjoy spotting around south London.

Growing up with Star Wars

Friday, January 9th, 2009

Fabulous Flickr group dedicated to growing up under the influence of Star Wars – so many of these pictures bring back memories – I was that 6 year old kid bursting with delight as I unwrapped a Millennium Falcon on Christmas morning in my PJ’s! Though my brother got an AT-AT (the jammy shit!).
