Photographer Dmitri Kasterine’s best shot: Kubrick filming A Clockwork Orange
This picture (featured in The Guardian’s My Best Shot series), moments before the camera platform he’s under started creaking and collapsed, Kubrick dashing out of the way “like a bolting rabbit”, is a real beauty.

Gary Anderson (right): creator of the recycling symbol

1970

Anderson was a 23-year-old USC Architecture graduate when he entered the Container Corporation of America’s design contest to create what would become the universal symbol for recycling.

The 500 entries to the competition were judged by designers recognized as world leaders in graphics and industrial art, including Saul Bass, Herbert Bayer, James Miho, Herbert Pinzke and Eliot Noyes.

According to Anderson:
“Angela Davis had just shot up the courthouse and the Manson murders had just happened. I wanted to move away from that, from the Haight-Ashbury poster art with its amorphous organic shapes to create something simpler and cleaner.”

David Mitchell: (on using your ear to test bath water temperature) I’m right handed, but I would go with my right ear because the way my bathroom is, with my left ear, I’d have to be turning my back to the taps, when I did it, and I wouldn’t feel comfortable doing that. Because ultimately, the tap’s responsible for the temperature, so I want to be able to look them in the eye, while I judge what they’ve done.

(David Mitchell is basically Socially Awkward Penguin made human.)

"If you go to one demonstration and then go home, that’s something, but the people in power can live with that. What they can’t live with is sustained pressure that keeps building, organizations that keep doing things, people that keep learning lessons from the last time and doing it better the next time."

Sergio Leone, Italian film director and undisputed master of the ‘spaghetti western’ genre: Jan. 3, 1929 - 1989…

Leone, whose signature use of close-ups and monumental formats gives his films their unmistakable look, also directed epics such as Once Upon a Time in America, dramatising the immigrant experience via another set genre - that of the gangster dynasty flick…
