David Short - The Riddle of the Romanovs | Design You Trust. World's Most Provocative Social Inspiration.

David Short - The Riddle of the Romanovs

Posted by MikeGusto on July 15, 2009 | Popularity: 1%

Based on the 1918 execution that killed Russia’s last tzar–Nicholas II–and his family, UK-based photographer David Short showcases his series entitled The Riddle of the Romanovs. The Romanov family were finally dug up and identified in 1991 using DNA, but two bodies were undiscovered. Although the remaining bodies were found in 2007, the longstanding mystery has been a conistent thread in Russian history.

Jerome Abramovitch — Chapter9 (NSFW)
tido: Yet more cut-up, fragmented, discarded, amputated female bodies/likenesses - [yawn]. The execution of the photos is very well done, but the mixing of bodies with mannequins is a rather dull idea and I am SO bored with this treatment of the female form.

World’s Most Counterfeited Fashion Brand
Gunjan Katia: This further proves that LV is the most admired and aspirational fashion brand of the world.. people are passionate about it and its class apart. But the point is that only originals is what is the real piece of pride and you get that feel only if you own an original LV.. so beware while buying your first LV.. once you own an original you can never go for a fake one… Also the LV team needs to be much more pro-active and...

Young Barack Obama
Ty: I love all these comments saying they hate how our president used to smoke, cigs or weed, who cares. Look at our last president, he was a drunk frat kid from Texas, I’m sure he never smoked weed or cigs! Get real people, and just because they did these things in the past doesn’t mean they are doing them now, and it doesn’t make them a worse person.

Daniel Laine’s Fantastic Work on African Kings
Asante Ron: I respect them Kings as elders,fathers and human beings but sincerely,as far as I know,most of these kings are idol worshipers and worshipers of devil relying greatly on the powers of darkness and most of them use human beings for sacrifices no doubt and it will take perhaps 4 generations to wipe off that bullshit coz these generation is more about money and living flashy rather than the bushmen way who really don’t care...

bystander: The “creative director” of Reakt/GA was formerly a part of Mess Marketing, but was forced out of the company. On his way out he “borrowed” the flash source code from the BK Studio project, and hired former a Mess contractor to repurpose the code. The current Mess team lead and produced BK Studio and are justifiably pissed at having their work stolen. (There was some prior drama over BK work that reakt had nothing to do getting...

Nordic Rock: Stone Ice Cubes
Peter Ferrenheight: I found that it was slightly difficult to actually get to a website that I can order these soapstone ice cubes from. I was able to find them and quickly order them at this site: http://www.temperatureware.com /coolware.html - They sell them in 6 packs and 24 packs. We absolutely love them and they are a lot of fun to use too. Thanks. Peter

Young Barack Obama
Toby: I look at these pictures, and I feel like i know Barack as a close friend, a long lost best-friend I knew many years ago, forgot everything we did together, but not the emotions that went along with those actions. I feel like we grew up together, and have always been friends. I feel like we smoked our first joint together, like we sat in the glow of a lava lamp and talked about whatever passed through our brains. I miss my best friend, and I wish we could go back to...

Drake: Also, if it the guys from Reakt were involved with BK Studio, why does the Grafik Armor version look worse than the studio one? If they were really involved with BK Studio wouldn’t they be contractually/morally obligated to not re-use the idea that BK paid his agency a bunch of money for?

Artist Series Snowboard Decals
Drake: Snowboard Chick, can you please share this link that shows the creators of Grafik Armor were part of the creation BK Studio? Because I hate to break it to you, but your argument is… bullshit. Based on the research I’ve done, the leaders and creators of BK Studio currently work at a company called Mess Marketing, and are in no way affiliated with the company Reakt. And the original designer of the BK Studio interface is now a freelance designer...
