Haiti Earthquake Aftermath Montage
Khalid Mohtaseb was hired to go to shoot in Haiti a week after the devastating earthquake that hit the island. While he was there, he decided to shoot a personal montage in his spare time on the 5DmkII. What he created was definitely a small touch of beauty in the sadness.

State Branding
This image featuring the tourism logos for all 50 states is currently being passed around twitter. The general consensus is that NY and GA are coming up as the winners, and I'd even add Kentucky to the top of the list as well.
Texas is just hilarious. Maine & North Carolina - way to phone it in guys. Florida, we get it, you have oranges. Arkansas: the natural state... university?... from the 80s? Minnesota is so insane that I kinda like it. Kansas and Indiana are interchangeable snoozefests. Why is Alabama a frisbee?

"Future City Mobility"
The brief was basicly to look at the traffic situation in London for the year 2030. Our concept was to create a car-free-zone in the central of London, called London Garden. Inside this zone we developed a system created around bicycles.
