Quote of the Week - Nature and its Way

Communion between People and Nature by Dewan Irawan

I recently found these beautiful photos taken by Dewan Irawan, an Indonesian photographer. I was stroken by their timeless set-up; children and grown-ups are projected in an idyllic atmosphere where nature is part of each of their action. The animals are more than just part of the set-up: they are human companions, support, friends and witness of their lives.

The magic comes from the idealization of banal acts like sleeping, singing, playing, washing, and giving them a magic value, sustained by the superb and indestructible communion between people and nature. In this idyllic set-up it looks like nothing bad could ever happen.

Honda Advert - Hate something...Change something...

This is one of my favorite Honda's commercials TV. I like that Honda put a lot of thoughts into their advertising.

The story behind this ad was that Kenichi Nagahiro, Honda’s chief engine designer, hated diesel engines. When asked to design Honda’s first diesel he flatly refused, unless he was allowed to start completely from scratch. The result is one of the cleanest, most refined diesel engines on the market today. Cute bunnies, pretty flowers and rainbows show their dislike of dirty, noisy, smelly diesel engines by destroying them in exchange for something better. Brilliant!
