Now in its sixth month, The Scout has added its first video-content to its production roster. This short film is a look into the world of Billykirk, a leather crafter owned and operated by the Bray brothers. The production-quality of this film is immaculate. I’m really looking forward to seeing the next installments of their craftsmanship series roll out.</p>http://cliftonburt.tumblr.com/post/236552569http://cliftonburt.tumblr.com/post/236552569Sat, 07 Nov 2009 19:04:05 -0800<img src="http://11.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kru8kaH8p31qzn8c9o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>This roll of film sat in a lost camera for two years.

The owner explained to me that it’s a 1959 Morris Minor made by Morris Garages, later shortened to MG and of course produced the “MG” we all know. Because it’s British-made, the steering wheels were moved to the left for export to America. However, they left the sole key-lock on the right-hand door. That means that to unlock the car he has to unlock the passenger-side door then crawl across the seats to unlock the driver’s side door.</p> <p><em>“The Morris Minor is a popular British motor car aimed at the family market. It was the work of a team led by Alec Issigonis, who would go on to design (and be knighted for) the successful Mini.”</em> - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morris_Minor">Wikipedia/Morris_Minor </a></p>http://cliftonburt.tumblr.com/post/207360542http://cliftonburt.tumblr.com/post/207360542Wed, 07 Oct 2009 23:32:00 -0700<object id="flashObj" width="400" height="225" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,47,0"><param name="movie" value="http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9/42529797001?isSlim=1&publisherID=1854890877" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><param name="flashVars" value="videoId=28211824001&linkBaseURL=http%3A%2F%2Fchannel.tate.org.uk%2Fmedia%2F28211824001&playerID=42529797001&domain=embed&" /><param name="base" value="http://admin.brightcove.com" /><param name="seamlesstabbing" value="false" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="swLiveConnect" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><embed src="http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9/42529797001?isSlim=1&publisherID=1854890877" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" flashvars="videoId=28211824001&linkBaseURL=http%3A%2F%2Fchannel.tate.org.uk%2Fmedia%2F28211824001&playerID=42529797001&&domain=embed&" base="http://admin.brightcove.com" name="flashObj" width="400" height="225" seamlesstabbing="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" swliveconnect="true" allowscriptaccess="always" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></embed></object><br/><br/><p><em>“I’m going to go down to the lower world, and on your behalf, I will talk to animal spirits and glean any information I can from them.”</em></p> <p><em>“… it’s about the Israeli/Palestinian crisis.
