On Thursday I assisted Christina with a day of shooting for Los Angeles magazine. We shot four people for their "Archetype" department. One of the subjects was a floral designer and she left behind some of her gorgeous blooms. Enough flowers to fill 3 vases once I got them home!
This is what I get for trying the easy way out.
I wanted to see what would happen if I blew up a Christmas ball when it was covered with other balls.
The idea of gluing the balls together sounded too much of a pain, so I put the balls in a clear Lexan container.
So when you blow up a glass ball, its turns into an instant sandbnlasting unit which frost the clear plastic, keeping yopu from seeing much.
Funny how this all becomes clear after the fact.
And in more amazing news, someone bought an eBook copy of my new book.
I am famous, rich and happy.
Cheers.

This cake reminds me of Camberwick Green and how the little characters used to pop up out of the music box! The birthday boy's accessories are his 'man-bag', football and Man U scarf and around the back of the cake are an Italian flag and cup of coffee. It's a white chocolate mud cake with hundreds and thousands!
Aurora's exploded in the night skies on two nights. Two CME'S hit earth's Magnetic Field and triggered two nights of amazing Aurora's. Northern WI. March 17-18 2015. Dancing Beams and colors filled the night skies.
The creative Jack-O-Laterns made interesting subjects for some experimentation with long exposure zoom. And the results nicely reflect our excitement about the new world record at the Keene Pumpkin Festival

Three of Danny Williams’ intimate experimental portraits of the 60’s Warhol Factory, screened with an original, immersive live score by T. Griffin and Catherine McRae from The Quavers.
In 1966 Danny Williams disappeared. He was Andy Warhol’s lover, a filmmaker and the designer of the Velvet Underground Exploding Plastic Inevitable lightshow. Almost 40 years later, his niece Esther B. Robinson found 20 short films Williams made during the year before he vanished. Her documentary inquiry into his disappearance, A Walk into the Sea: Danny Williams and The Warhol Factory, has screened all over the world, won the coveted Teddy Award at the Berlin International Film Festival, and was released theatrically in 2008 by ArtHouse Pictures.
Danny Williams’ extraordinary intimate experimental portraits of the Warhol Factory bring us into that iconic moment with a tenderness and shimmering beauty that stand in fascinating contrast to Warhol’s own films made at the time. Lost for 40 years, these luminous documents are now finally available to be screened.
Factory Film by Danny Williams
USA, 1965, 22 minutes, digital projection, silent
Factory Film features amazingly intimate footage of Andy Warhol along with other factory stars like Brigid Berlin, Billy Name, and more.
Harold Stevenson Pts. 1 and 2 by Danny Williams, score by T. Griffin and Catherine McRae
USA, 1965, 40 minutes, live score
Harold Stevenson part 1 and 2 showcases an incandescent Edie Sedgwick along with Paul America, Ingrid Superstar and Gerard Malanga (among others). This film screens with a live soundtrack. For the luminous 40 minute film “Harold Stevenson parts 1 and 2″, T. Griffin and Catherine McRae have created a score for guitar, violin, samples and walkman. They have looked to the music that electrified The Factory in 1966 and created an immersive, oceanic abstraction of bubblegum pop, LaMonte Young-inspired drones and of course The Velvet Underground. Taking cues from modern ambient artists like Tim Hecker and Belong, Griffin and McRae bury melodies deep under shimmering drones that shift gradually over the films’ 40 minutes, evoking both the joyful optimism that pervades the footage and also the sense of lost history and promise that buried the films for almost 40 years.
The Velvet Underground by Danny Williams
USA, 1965, 9 minutes, digital projection silent

The shrubs in front of our house are exploding in these tiny white blossoms (this is a heavily cropped shot). Spring just can't wait any longer :-)
We had a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese for the Princess, her classmates and a few friends. I think everyone under the age of 12 had a great time, and I caught a few adults really enjoying some of the games too! Unfortunately when we got home the Princess was feeling ill and had a fever of 104.5F. So we've spent the weekend playing nurse and will get her to a doctor today since she is still feeling ill.
Needless to say this all stole my Flickr time away. But I plan to catch up later today. Have a good Monday everyone!
Even at low tide, explosive waves continue to hammer the rock shelves south of Burning Palms Beach in the grand and beautiful Royal National Park, just an hour's drive from the Sydney CBD.
Seen in a courtyard in the Vatican. Perplexed us till we walked up to it and one of the guards gave it a push to send it spinning for quite some time. Struck me as a dystopian yet impressive bit of abstract art. (I'm sure I read about it while I was there, but this image is pretty old by now)
Edit: I read up on the sphere, and another Flickr user has done quite some research on it. Here is the link www.flickr.com/photos/o6scura/63977793/
Such spheres are found at quite a few places on a globe, and some in places of power too. The artist is Arnaldo Pomodoro. Wiki link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnaldo_Pomodoro

The top three inches were left.
The IR trigger has been great, zero fails.

I really like the abstract quality of this one.
