A station fit for Kings – Kings Cross Station Redevelopment

Kings Cross station finally looks to stand proud beside its magnificent neighbour St Pancras.

Having just returned from a weekend in London I thought I would share some architectural wonder with you. Possibly my favourite building in the world has to be St Pancras international train station.

If ever you were looking for an architectural explanation of the word grandeur, then that is it, the recent regeneration of the building has transformed it into a modern masterpiece.

The Americans – A visual documentary by Alec Dudson

Photo journalist Alec Dudson has been trekking over America documenting his trip on his trusty SLR.

Waiting for the perfect moment, rather than snapping hundreds which have to be whittled down on a computer later, results in photos with soul rather than digital files edited in Photoshop. His recent interview on the Dazed Digital blog gives a great insight into the thought process behind choosing this moment.

You can find more of his work on his website and alongside others on Kollektivnye.
