I think I’ve figured out why I’ve been so out of it, non-committed, and creatively stunted, this week… I gave up the nightly, after dinner candy binge a couple of weeks ago, which means I’ve had no candy in the apartment, which means I’ve had no candy immediately after arriving home (and after my afternoon …

365.209 a pillow of winds
Well, I’m still struggling with how to depict “don’t you wonder sometimes about sound and vision.” I don’t even have a twinkling of an idea about how to go about shooting such an open-ended statement, and this lack of a clue has spilled over into the rest of my shooting, and even into my other …
365.208 Ohne Titel (not feelin’ it)
I’ve had a fairly “not feelin’ it” sort of day… I wasn’t feeling getting out of bed, but wasn’t feeling staying in bed either. I wasn’t feeling the drive to work and wasn’t feeling staying home. I wasn’t feeling work (though I sorta just sleep-walked through it, and it went by fast enough), but I …

If you’re not familiar with Don Ho’s classic, “Tiny Bubbles,” please stop now and go directly to YouTube: you may or may not be very very sorry… If you find that yourself mumbling incoherently or trying to sing in Hawaiian, please accept my deepest apologies, and allow me to point you to http://unhearit.com/ Anyway.

365.205 S/V#003 (Particle-like Wave)
I laid awake almost all night last night, not thinking about Sound & Vision, but something was bothering me… Yesterday, I claimed that sound falls on the electromagnetic spectrum… Dumb@55. Sound, in and of itself, while a wave, to be sure, is of a completely different order than light. Light just moves, passes through all …
365.204 S/V#002 (wave-like particle)
After much pondering, I noticed the wavy lines in the bottom of a pie pan reflector that I’ve never used, and remembered the wavelike particle-ness (and particle-like wave-ness) of water, and then remembered that sound is also a wave, and falls on the electromagnetic spectrum. So I shot the pie pan: fail. And then I …
