WatchSEB MONTAZ - SKYLINERS PARIS
This gang of loons had practiced their high wire skills on Mont Blanc before stretching ropes across Paris’ tallest twin towers. This little trailer shows the guys larking about at ridiculous heights, showing complete trust in their balance, but ultimately their equipment.

Curriculum Vitae →
Curriculum Vitae is a blog sharing the woes of unemployment and drudgery through group interviews, rejection letters, awkward phone interviews. Funnily enough, I know the Benedict, the author, as he used to work in a bookshop near my office and we smoked together.

The Camera That Shoots At ONE MILLION FPS! →

Swimming – a chlorinated soap opera mind-fuck
The Upside is very pleased to offer the very first in what we hope will become a regular feature - words from The Upside’s dear friend Grand Panda. We proudly present her cutting dissection of the tribes that the recreational swimmer will encounter on trip to the municipal/gym pool.
You can of course follow Grand Panda on Twitter @wishingonapanda. Grand Panda, over to you;

Camera anticipation..
Panasonic is bringing out the GF7, a pro camera in the Lumix G range. Rumour has it that it will have an internal electronic viewfinder similar to the Fuji X100, but with the added advantage of micro 4/3 interchangeable lenses.
Oh crap; I’d better start saving!
