This weekend I was at a Borders bookstore in Northern Virginia when I decided I’d purchase some magazines. I started looking through the periodical racks for a photography magazine because I was interested in seeing what art criticism and journalism looked like for that medium. It turns out I was a bit more [...]

Harry Potter and the Half-Hearted Studio
Friday, August 15, 2008
Well, it seems that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is going to be delayed by about 8 months. It was originally scheduled to open really close to my wife’s birthday, so she’s NOT going to be happy about this.
The studio’s main reason is because they want a guaranteed summer blockbuster in 2009. [...]
Francis and the Lights
Wednesday, August 13, 2008
So the mini-site for Francis and the Lights‘ EP, A Modern Promise, is making the rounds on teh interwebs, and I have to admit that I’m enjoying it quite a bit myself.
What I really dig about the mini-site, though, is the 35mm film for “The Top.” Two things impress me about this: First, it [...]
A Scanner Brightly
Tuesday, August 12, 2008
I received my Epson Perfection V500 scanner today, and the above shot is my first scanned picture. I’ll probably be up way too late working on more pictures tonight, so keep an eye out on my Flickr stream
Popping the Days Away
Tuesday, August 12, 2008
Almost every year my wife or mother-in-law gets me a calendar at Christmas as one of my gifts. Well this year, if I may be so bold, I want this pop-tastic bubble calendar, on the real.

Ghosts of Cameras Past
Monday, August 11, 2008
I think I just found a new desktop wallpaper for my MBP. It’s a design by Gary Gao, the same gentleman who created the “Ghosts of Macintosh Past” t-shirt which John Gruber linked up yesterday. I particularly like how the Yashica Mat TLR (in its leather case, no less!) is right there in [...]
Burning Building
Monday, August 11, 2008
Today I decided to check out some blogrolls from various other blogs and came upon Burning Building, the brainchild of Isaac Marion in Seattle. Marion’s site appears to combine various talents but is clearly dominated by his writing, which of late, is quite humorous.
Give it a look - at least for yesterday’s “Happy Birthday [...]
Just Beat It
Wednesday, August 6, 2008
I was already a huge fan of Isiah Flores‘ short films, but below you can see him assembling beats in real time. I’m guessing many of them, if recorded, were edited later to smooth out the timing and what-not, but either way, I’d bump to these beats.

Blogging the Class: Week 10
Monday, August 4, 2008
Hey hey hey, last week of the class, and only two of us show up other than the teacher. And there was no developer anywhere to be found. So no darkroom time. Instead, we’ll get vouchers (if the dude remembers) for one free week of the open darkroom during the fall session. [...]
Love in the Time of Gonorrhea
Sunday, August 3, 2008
Oh sweet mercy.
Last night Valerie watched Love in the Time of Cholera while I was in the room, so while I wasn’t actively participating in the viewing experience, I couldn’t help but observe the ridiculousness.
I really don’t mind spoiling anything here since you probably aren’t planning to see it. If you were, well, I’m [...]
