weekend silliness: walking on water

Sunday, May 23, 2010

I’m not sure whether to gawk or to laugh. There is a new sport called “liquid mountaineering” which consists of trying to run on a water surface for as long as possible. I’m surprised that anyone has managed to take more than two steps, but I suppose if you can skip a stone, why not [...]

street art

Wednesday, April 7, 2010

Last quarter we did blogs for the light class and one of the more interesting videos posted was this one, of some pretty complex stop-action art. (Thanks, Susan!) This quarter I’m taking some great classes. Alternative Processes, where we’ll be making cyanotypes, Van Dyke, palladium and gum prints, among other things. The Photo Book, which [...]

weekend silliness: Jigsaw

Sunday, March 7, 2010

Stray Dog of Tokyo

Sunday, January 31, 2010

Saw this video on street photographer Daido Moriyama in the new releases section of the video store (Lost Weekend on Valencia), but since we were looking for a bit of action adventure, it wasn’t quite the right fit. It’s part of the New People Artist Series, which seem to be all on Japanese artists. Just [...]

mermaids and CG

Monday, January 11, 2010

(via) Awesome. Go here for a full version: Care and feeding of a mermaid And something completely different: The Third & The Seventh from Alex Roman on Vimeo. (via) Damn, CG has come a long way. Apparently this is all CG except for a very few things which Roman lists in the comments. If you [...]
