Why I Love Anime – My Top 10 Studio Ghibli Films
Dec 8th
8th December 2010 – I love animation and I have a vast collection of animation on display on my media shelves at home but on there you won’t find the sugary sweet world of Disney Cinema (apart from Pixar collaborations!) but a huge collection of Japanese anime. I’ve been hooked on anime since I was very young. I think the first experience of anime was Castle in the Sky and Akira.

Winter Wonderland – Fantastic Winter Photography Gallery
Nov 23rd
23rd November 2010 – I’m quite fortunate that I live in a country that has changing weather seasons and with Autumn coming to an end and Winter drawing in on the long run up to Christmas, then snow seems inevitable. I have to admit that I love snow and feel like quite a kid when it falls. I love watching it from the window and everything seems to just go quiet and I love the way it crunches under my shoes. So get yourself comfy next to the old log fire and grab a nice warm cup of cocoa and feast your eyes on some wonderful winter photography. Thanks to the truly exceptional photographers featured and click on each photo for the original source.

Liu Bolin says that his work his inspired by feeling uncared for and a sense of unnecessary in the world and also as a protest against the Chinese government who shut his studio down in 2005. Take look at these photos and see if you can spot him!
