We’ve seen many types of maps, and most of them share one characteristic: they are minimalistic, topographic representations of a particular physical area. Now Sohei Nishino has gone ahead to blow our minds with his spin on maps of cities he has visited. Comprised of his stash of photographs, these recreate the city as one large collage, and are intended to function as a accurate-to-memory record rather than a accurate-to-scale map. He has crafted at least 14 of these over the last decade or so. These are plain fascinating. The post Diorama maps from photographs appeared first on Lost At E Minor: For creative people.

At just after 2:20pm this afternoon, two men exited a crashed vehicle in Woolwich, South East London, close to the Royal Artillery Barracks near the corner of John Wilson St and Artillery Place. Armed with a knives, they proceeded to attack young male pedestrian. The victim of the assault, reported to have been a member of the armed forces, was wearing a 'Help For Heroes' charity T-shirt. According to eyewitnesses, the attack was savage and sustained, and the press report that he was beheaded in the street. Subsequently, the attackers remained at the location, and were both photographed talking with bystanders as well as being filmed giving an account of their actions. In this latter, the suspect claimed the attack was "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth", a terror attack committed in revenge for British involvement in the deaths of Muslims abroad, concluding "remove your governments, they don't care about you". When armed police arrived on the scene, the two men are reported to have attacked them, were shot, wounded, taken to hospital, and arrested. Political responses stressed fortitude and sympathy; collectively, immediate media coverage shared a sense of stunned horror; in light of the attacker's invocation of Islam, there was widespread condemnation of the attack from British Muslims; there were brief street scuffles at a protest organised by the far-right EDL. The broadly London accent of the attacker in the video has turned analysis of the attack towards the issue of so-called 'self-radicalisation' (especially in light of similar discussions of the Boston Marathon Bombers): individuals not previously linked to formal networks of terrorist organisations, acting as individuals or in small groups, making their attacks much harder to prevent.
