I've never looked at clothing like this before:
And this is mindblowing
And can you imagine leaving the shutter open long enough for an entire candle to blow out? It makes me want to try it, but how many nights would you have to waste figuring out the settings?
Also amazingly awesome: http://www.sugimotohiroshi.com/LighteningField.html
and an Interesting take on 2d dioramas.

I don't know if any of you are reading this during break, but I'm down in New Orleans struggling with how to capture this city in one image. I've been taking some "research shots" I guess at the first st patricks day parade, down in the jazz clubs and walking around the city. I am getting some great portraits but its not really capturing my feelings about the city.  I'm really feeling this idea of new orleans as a welcoming home. So, the base picture would be a house in the garden district around dusk when everyone is sitting on their porches greeting passerbys. Then, I'd like to put a couple of images into the windows of the house so that it was as if the people on the porch were greeting you and welcoming you into their house, and in the house would be the characteristics of new orleans; jazz, food. I'm also toying with the idea of having a streetcar in front of the house. Problems being: the photoshopping. I am not sure if I would be able to pull this off successfully, but I won't know until I try. Its going to be a matter of getting the right angling for the photos so that it looks good, figuring out a good lighting situation so that the photos meld together, and sizing them correctly when I paste them together. I have some ideas that in my head are awesome, but i'm not sure how they'll work out in the real world.
Anyone else struggling?

holy crap Kirsten Lepore is my new hero. watch, um, all of her videos. the first one I found was the one with the cupcake. love love love love love love love

Hello from Greece

Hi You Guys,

It turns out I can't access my RWU email from Europe. If you've sent me something, I don't have access to it--however, I'll check this site daily, if you need help.

I hope you all are working and playing hard. And you don't even want to know about Greek food--authentic Greek. Don't get me started about the tomatoes.

Update on our project: going well. We're working 12 hour days and like where we're going. Our goal is to finish 1-2 days early so we can get lost in Athens, a city of secrets: amazing antique stores and video art coffee bars tucked away in allies with no signs. If I spoke Greek I could live here (and yes: my Greek is not going anywhere fast).
