hv.pngTalk about a graduation gift…

Nathan John, in his final year of college, won a fellowship competition that allows pays him to ride his bike, shooting stills and video, through several of the major metropolises of the world. The project is an attempt to document, artistically, the experience of traveling through the world at a human scale. His first (and so far only) video chronicles a ride through Shanghai with a thumping soundtrack by The Books.

Watch the video, check out his pictures from Shanghai and Tokyo, and read more about the day to day experience over at HumanVelocity.

    I don’t know… I don’t have an answer, but I think a worthy pursuit in life is to ask questions the answers to which cannot be Googled. It’s often useful just to articulate the problem, and that may be all we can do. — Phillip Barron "Doping scandals spoiling the spirit of sports"
