How A Polaroid Camera Works

Its taken me over three hours to watch "Eames: The Architect and The Painter" on Netflix. Every single time the documentary gets moving... I have to stop and Google the bananas out of their projects and re-watch the magic in its full form. I highly recommend it, especially as someone who has taken the time to watch the majority of their archives. It's a beautiful overview of their life work. The only negative is that its narrated by James Franco, which might be a plus for others who enjoy slow-speaking Americans that model for Gucci. Here is the Polaroid one which is fantastic. Wait for the instructional part. It REALLY gets EPIC around the 5:00 minute mark.

Makes you really want a SX-70.

Powers of Ten

Craving a little Carl Sagan, IBM and furniture design? The Eames created this documentary in the late 1960's and it was later released in the the 1970's. It explores the relative scale of the Universe in different powers of 10. Also, it provides a sense of insignificance if you need help getting down from an ego trip. Watch it below or on the Powers of Ten website.
