This ad for Leica, obtained from the website Sploid, commemorates the pathbreaking German camera firm’s 100th anniversary by splicing together a series of famous photos that have gone live through some sort of animation technology. Very interesting. There is some very good architecture in, I think, most of the images. About two minutes. Enjoy.

About David Brussat

This blog was begun in 2009 as a feature of the Providence Journal, where I was on the editorial board and wrote a weekly column of architecture criticism for three decades. Architecture Here and There fights the style wars for classical architecture and against modern architecture, no holds barred. History Press asked me to write and in August 2017 published my first book, "Lost Providence." I am now writing my second book. My freelance writing on architecture and other topics addresses issues of design and culture locally and globally. I am a member of the board of the New England chapter of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art, which bestowed an Arthur Ross Award on me in 2002. I work from Providence, R.I., where I live with my wife Victoria, my son Billy and our cat Gato. If you would like to employ my writing and editing to improve your work, please email me at my consultancy, dbrussat@gmail.com, or call 401.351.0457. Testimonial: "Your work is so wonderful - you now enter my mind and write what I would have written." - Nikos Salingaros, mathematician at the University of Texas, architectural theorist and author of many books.

    Yup, I always wanted a Leica. Couldn’t believe that my mother gave away my father’s when he died in 1960. But what made them special was 1) the photographer, and 2) the lens. The first could make any camera do genius. The second is crucial for that special difference. Even in the digital world, a good lens is still costing more than a thousand dollars. Ah, art.
