Okay, so this is why I’ve been so busy: I’ve been having a baby. Sort of. With someone five thousand kilometres away. Shortly before leaving for London and Dubai respectively, somewhere between Amsterdam, London and Kuala Lumpur, we decided to try our hand at combining the four things we love: travel, postcards, the web.
And here’s a sneak preview.
In a nutshell: over forty twenty weeks, M. (that’s lola to most of you) and I will be living in London and Dubai, separately. We both happen to travel a lot. KL/Singapore. London/Dubai. Europe/Middle East and India. Geddit? We both meet loads of interesting people.
Our work will take us, over the coming months, to parts of Europe, Middle East, India, possibly even North Africa. Update: What’s wrong with me? It’s twenty weeks Forty weeks, forty videos — twenty each, one per week. They could well be about arms markets in Yemen, or Georgian cooking classes, as they might be about music video travelogues of Dubai set to Sudanese beat poetry, or Perugia graffiti artists, Eurochocolate, and interviews with the little people project. Things like that — the things that keep us travelling. Our artsy friends will draw and photograph postcards of London, Oman, Dubai, wherever we go in the course of fortylove.tv, and our store will sell these home-made (well, Zazzle-made, home-designed) postcards — support local artists and all (these artists are mostly British, Malaysian and Singaporean). Submit your video, and you may just win prizes.
So if you’ve lived and travelled vicariously through the photos and text on either Popagandhi.com or at M’s site, stay tuned to Fortylove.tv — live, play, eat and discover. Coming to a screen near you, mid-December 2008.
Join us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, and all that stuff.
And you think I have a job?
P.S. If you work in a tech company, airline, or travel site — and/or have prizes to offer — I want to hear from you!
