Camera Mail
The idea of Camera Mail is very interesting. Attach a disposable camera to a post card with instructions to US Postal Works to take photos of themselves and their work place to document the progress of the mail as it makes its way across the country. The results are a little disappointing, but worth a…

Beautiful, But What Does It Mean?
I feel like I’m missing something with Wang Qingsong’s China Kaleidoscope series (NSFW due to a bunch of artistic nudity). The huge panoramic shots are gorgeous and obviously set up and posed with great care. I don’t quite understand the story though. I recognize a lot of poses from some classic artworks in the final…

Dopey Rockey
This Low-Rent Rocky Movie is strangely funny in a dopey kind of way. I laughed at several points throughout. I wish I knew if all these bits were set up or if it’s all really a bunch of gorilla theater. I suspect the former, but hope for the latter.

Rose Parade Staging Area
Happy New Year’s!!!! Tonight, I went up to Pasadena for a New Year’s Eve Party/Rose Parade Float viewing spectacle kind of thing. It was pretty cold after all our recent rains, but those floats are just INCREDIBLE! They’re made entirely from flowers or flower parts or just botanical this or that, and the attention to…

It’s Like Pop Culture Threw-Up
Violence, Porn, Kids Line Dancing … Yep it’s all here in Concrete TV where it’s been crammed together in a bizare series of montage edits where A + B just doesn’t seem to add up to C for some reason. Won’t somebody please think of Sergei Eisenstein rolling in his cutting-room grave? As you may…

Skunkworks Calculator
The Graphing Calculator Story is an amazing tale about an amazing piece of software that I never could figure out how to work. I should have paid more attention in Math class. Go read it. Seriously. It’s interesting.

Dog Judo
OK, so Dog Judo. I think that about says it all doesn’t it? What, you want more? OK, the first episode — sort of funny. The second episode — sort of lame. The third episode — coming soon.

Elementary Watson
I can’t get into audio books. I put them on, and within 10 seconds my mind is drifting and I miss everything. I wish I could retain information that way, but I need a visual component or something. I’m much better with reading. I only mention it because I’m wondering if radio plays might be…

Zuma Beach – Malibu
In keeping with my goal of taking advantage of the daylight on the weekends (which seems to be the only time I actually see daylight these days), I took my camera up to Malibu to shoot some photos on Zuma Beach. At one point, I was trying to get around some rocks, and I misjudged…
