Cool 6. Youtube images
A few nice 6. youtube images I found:
The YouTube Playlist II
Image by Profound Whatever
I posted the first YouTube Playlist more than a year ago, but it’s grown since then so it’s time for a re-post. It’s both a list of various sources of inspiration for things I build or things I write (I’m a film student, remember?), and a well of entertainment to kill time. I post it here because it’s cleaner than filling up a Word document with all sorts of links, and because maybe someone else will find some enjoyment in it, and because favoriting videos on YouTube just isn’t the same as making a nice, cold, organized list.
*The list is ever-increasing.
**That’s a stairwell somewhere in Italy; can’t remember where.
