An old cotton mill.
Blue Angels
Last weekend, the Blue Angels were in town. Thousands of spectators lined the highway outside the airport. It looked like that scene in the movie 'Contact' where the crowds gather for the launch of the machine. Here's some snapshots I took. Nikon D70 with a 300mm lens.
Femmes Gangs
This is a detail from a french poster in my friend Jimmy's collection.
Nature knows best
Everything looks so much better after nature pays a visit.
Speed+Perspective+Graffiti = A New Post
There's a tunnel in Atlanta called Krog tunnel which is filled with graffiti. I finally had the occasion to go in and take pictures. Here's one. Slow shutter speed. Graffiti, when done for the right purposes, is a good thing. Berlin is a much more interesting city because of it.
The City
I have a friend who created and writes a show on Adult Swim titled '12oz. Mouse'. It has to be seen and experienced more than once to get the full gist. The open is a motion control fly-through of this town made of cardboard. I visited Matt as he was putting it together.
Who is this artist?
This piece was also housed in the 'Ripleys' warehouse. I've seen his work but can't recall his name. I wish I had taken more photos of this one. He creates figures from found objects. If you happen to know who he/she is let me know.
Tibetan Monks
Some years back, I was directing a shoot in the 'Ripley's Believe It Or Not' warehouse. It was a great experience. This was where they housed everything that was displayed in the museums, along with oddities that didn't really belong in the museums. It seemed that everything I picked up was made out of some body part or another. Drawers full of shrunken heads, two headed taxidermied cattle, two headed animal skeletons, a Honda covered in dimes, a portrait of O.J. Simpson created from dryer lint. Heaven should be a 'Ripley's Believe It Or Not' warehouse. I snapped this photo of Tibetan Monk skulls. When the Monks died, they would adorn their skulls as you see here. The top of the skull can be removed to reveal a shallow silver bowl. I was told the practice was outlawed when the communist took over. The practice has now been relegated to goat skulls.
Somebody, Please open the window
This is an albino alligator, taken at the New Oleans Aquarium some years back.
Yugo Next
Yugo Next
In the summer of 1995, Union Station in Washington D.C hosted an exhibit of Yugo cars turned into a variety of objects. Google 'Yugo Art' or 'Yugo Next' for more info. This accordian Yugo was my favorite.
