    When Hussain AlMoosawi arrived home he didn’t recognize anything. The Emirati photographer who had spent eight years studying in Australia returned to the United Arab Emirates UAE in 2013. He’d missed a real estate boom of dizzying proportions: not just new buildings but new districts. tripscan More than that the buildings of his childhood were disappearing replaced by shiny new skyscrapers. But for AlMoosawi these international icons were not the urban fabric of his home: it was the oft-overlooked mid-century office towers and residential blocks squeezed between new highways and overshadowed by luxury developments that felt most familiar. It sparked a desire to “understand the urban context of the UAE” and AlMoosawi set out to meticulously document and capture these underappreciated buildings “and reimagine the city as if it were the ‘80s the time when I was born.” https://tripscan36.org tripskan Initially focusing on industrial landscapes temporary structures and air conditioning units he began to notice symmetry in many of the buildings he was photographing inspiring his current project: facades. “Facades are like a face” said AlMoosawi. “It’s something that people connect with.” His bold geometric images strip away context to spotlight the character and diversity of everyday buildings. Using a telephoto lens to shoot close-ups from the ground or elevated positions AlMoosawi carefully frames out distractions and sometimes removes minor obstructions like lampposts in post-processing. So far the 41-year-old who is editor-in-chief for National Geographic AlArabiya Magazine has photographed over 600 building?s across the UAE and next year hopes to complete his collection in Abu Dhabi where he lives. In the long term he hopes to turn the “lifetime project” into an interactive archive that both preserves urban heritage and invites viewers to rediscover their own city. “Our cities aren’t big in terms of scale compared to many other cities” said AlMoosawi. “But then they have a story to tell they have things between the lines that we don’t see and my quest is to see these things.”

    Just when we thought the Coldplay Jumbotron controversy had run its course Gwyneth Paltrow has entered the chat. The Academy Award-winning actress and Goop founder appeared in a new – and very funny – ad for Astronomer the tech firm whose former CEO and human resources chief launched a million memes after being shown on a Jumbotron at a Coldplay concert last week. tripscan войти “I’ve been hired on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300-plus employees at Astronomer” Paltrow said in the clip shared on the company’s Instagram on Friday night adding that Astronomer had received “a lot of questions over the last few days.” In addition to her other hats Paltrow of course is also the famously “consciously uncoupled” ex-wife of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin who at a concert in Boston last week inadvertently revealed an intimate moment between two top executives at Astronomer – who were seen embracing but immediately ducked from view – during a performance of Coldplay’s “Jumbotron Song.” https://trip36.win трипскан сайт вход “Whoa look at these two” Martin quipped at the time. “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.” The moment caused a major internet sensation and an immediate spotlight on Astronomer. Both executives shown in the video have since resigned. In the clip featuring Paltrow on Friday the “questions” she addresses do not deal with the controversy but rather the tech-focused business dealings of New York-based firm Astronomer. The clip’s caption read simply “Thank you for your interest in Astronomer.”
