Albin Holmqvist, Gustav Johansson and Niklas Johansson are really killing it with these new EF Live the Language videos for EF International Language Centers. If you saw the first few, you’ll notice that they’ve really gone above and beyond with this new set. The new locations include Sydney, Australia; Vancouver, Canada; and Los Angeles, California.
Stay tuned for more work from these guys!

As a follow up to the previous post on vintage computer brochures I wanted to share the work of Mark Richards. Richards shoots many of the images that appear on the Computer History Museum website, and his photography adds an appropriate sense of reverence for the outdated machines.
