    Pecha Kucha was on again last night at the Brisbane Powerhouse. The name “Pecha Kucha” comes from the Japanese term for the sound of “chit chat” which reflects the idea behind the inspirational night – concise speakers who have 20 images x 20 seconds to present their ideas.

    I loved …Paul’s post last week of Back to the Future: a photograph concept. Photographer Irina Werning recreated old childhood photographs, with some very goofy results.
