Call it shadow or call it wicked, it exists within. "For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts..." says Jesus in the Gospel of Mark.
We're Here! finding something wicked.

With the annual Cariwest Festival exploding in full force Saturday afternoon, I felt my usual compulsion to head out for a few hours of shooting and enjoying the festivities.
Among all of the singing, chanting, "Pumping Yuh Flag," dancing, costumes, and crazy personalities, one underlying theme pervaded every single performance: ladies flaunting all that they've got. Belly dancers, cultural performances, gyrations, and outfits with no more fabric than what was absolutely necessary were the focal point of the 8 or so musical performances.
This isn't the first time I've experienced any variant of Caribbean culture, but this mostly Jamaican, Dominican, Puerto-Rico, and Trinidad-dominated display was very sensual in its nature. Carefree souls and bodies marched through the streets visibly ecstatic given the chance to expose their culture in its fullest uncensored form to all who came out to watch. It was really cool!
This girl -- the perfect representative of all that was conveyed yesterday -- was kind enough to spread her wings among the chaos and pose for a really great shot to finish off the day.
I really blew this one out because I was bored on the plane trip to Zurich... I can't decide if I like it or not... maybe if I did some drugs I would find it really cool.

Thank you every one for your comments and invitations.
It looks like something is exploding behind the clouds, don't you think?
Listening to this while taking the pic, I love this song <3
Having some fun with lights and water - hard to get the timing right but the good old one two three works pretty well...
Two flash heads (one from each side) High speed sync on 1/2000 to get rid of the background and "freeze" the water.

I love higspeed photography, but not with the usual studio style. So here I photopgraphed a exploding egg inside the fridge.

Well I had a great time filming our latest episode of Photwalking with Robert Scoble, Photowalking 10, down at Maker Faire yesterday with Scobleizer. For those of you who have never been, Maker Faire is pretty amazing. The Faire was started by by Dale Dougherty and has grown into a huge annual event.
Robert and I got to spend some time yesterday talking with Make Magazine Senior Editor Phillip Torrone who said that this weekend they were expecting about 50,000 people. That's about 30,000 more than the 20,000 or so folks who showed up last year. According to Phillip the next Makers Faire will actually be in Austin.
So what exactly is Maker Faire? Well it's part Burning Man (except not out in the desert and without all the sex and drugs), part obsessive compulsive collector, part inventor's workshop, and part DYI indie tech geekery.
The highlight of the Faire was probably the launch of over 200 2 litter bottles of Diet Coke using mentos (see photo above). Another highlight was a talk on innovation and computer history by Steve (Woz) Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Computer. I also really enjoyed checking out Shawna Peterson's neon exhibit. Shawna offers a class in Emeryville on making neon. Here's a link about her from Make. I'm trying to build a set of images representing the largest personally shot collection of neon in the world, so you can imagine it was a treat for me to chat with Shawna a bit and check out a photo book of her work.
I brought my son William down with me and we spent most of the day with Robert and Patrick Scoble checking out the event and filming our next episode of photowalking. Robert knows everyone of course so I had a great time meeting lots of new people as well.
It was fun meeting Matt Cutts from Google for the first time. I've admired his blog for a while and it was nice to finally get a chance to meet and talk to him face to face. Ryan Block from Engadget was there. Andrew Baron from Rocketboom was there. Robert and I had a nice opportunity to spend some time with both Dale Dougherty who is the Founder of Maker Faire as well as Make Magazine's Phillip Torrone. And of course it's always a pleasure spending any time at all with the lovely, no, very lovely, and talented partycrasher herself Sarah Meyers. Jeremiah Owyang introduced me to one of the Ustream guys. Kristopher and I are hoping to Ustream live when we do our next upgrade of Zooomr. Shel Israel and Dave Alpert shot with us a bit, and... well, damn, there were just a lot of cool people down there to hang out and chat with. I even met a chocolate blogger, Brian Stephens.
I'm definitely looking foward to next year's Maker Faire. Maybe next year I'll try to go down for both days. I feel like I got a lot of great shots but didn't come anywhere close to covering it the way I really would have liked to.
Scoble has his write up on our day here. Scott Beale also has some great photos and a good write up over at Laughing Squid.
Just in time for the 50th anniversary of this blubbery event, Tina and I visited the park. Florence Oregon.
