I've seen this car around town and have meant to take photos. It just happened to be parked under our balcony, so I took a top view. Sometime I may have a chance to capture the other artwork..

"What are we looking at?" Our narrator asks this question to our audience, and, perhaps, to the ghosts in the footage at the center of RIOTSVILLE, USA. During these last many difficult, upending, dark, and often revelatory years in the United States, that question has persisted in my mind.
I have worked extensively as an archival researcher for filmmakers and artists for the last fifteen years. And as a director of archival films, my work has focused on contending with the ways we can locate and trace structural power and white supremacism within the archives. In The Rifleman, I connect the NRA and the U.S. border control; in Graven Image, the construction, funding, and political backdrop to the building of Stone Mountain, the nation’s largest Confederate Monument; and in The Reagan Show, the manipulative PR machine and self-documentation of the Reagan administration. My goal as a filmmaker is to re-present historical material that forces us to contend with our past and reflect upon our present, and interrogate the unique ways that moving images can transmit history in this country.
Making this film was about more than detailing the precise governmental and political machinations that lead to this specific training program. It was about making sense of the Riotsville footage; for me that is what the filmmaking process always is. How do you situate Riotsville within the legacy of 1968, reconciling living memory and mythology? How do you situate it within the life of the communities most affected by the state violence the performances at Riotsville are illustrating, and within the activism organizing to oppose it? And crucially, how do you situate it within a nation founded on white supremacism, determined to launch a war against its Black citizens, on a loop for hundreds of years?
These questions informed the form and shape of the film; a mapping of structural forces that could not seem more urgent in 2022, with all the violence and possibility it contains.

Let's the "PIMP MY AVATAR PIC" Begins!! Some kind of Photoshop tutorial for anyone in the Flickr Universe.
*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*
Settings & Photoshop:
Please know that I never specify all the settings because all will depend of your graphics and in the case of the shadows it will depend of the WindLight Settings. The distance and the power of the sun gives a particular shadow and with that you need to play a little in order to make it nice and clear.
The particles try to keep it off as the rest of the options you may no need. By example, indoors don't need much distance or HD sky and water. The same for terrain options because they only apply to Linden terrain which means the sand, the grass and the Linden trees can change with these. In short words... if you don't have it or need it don't use it. =P
+ Local Lights Off
+ Draw Distance: 96m
+ Particles Off
+ Objects and Sculpts: 15
+ Sky: 250
+ Antialiasing on: 16x
+ Shadows On: 3
+ Windlight: Annan Adored Realistic ambient
Now... with Photoshop I use my senses. I do not have a method or formula but one of the options I always use is sharpen and lots of layers... this picture wasn't the exception. I also played with color removing all the color I didn't like to give more armony. You have a lots of ways to do that and it would depend of your hand and the area you want to change.
a few things that I did:
+ Add sharpen
+ Add grain
+ Add borders
+ Remove excess of green on grass
+ Remove excess of color
+ Add magenta
+ Add contrast

Carthay Circle Restaurant
Disney California Adventure
The Carthay Circle Restaurant occupies the Carthay Circle Theater, the new centerpiece of DCA. Nobody denies the place is beautiful both inside and out, but some questioned whether the centerpiece of the park should be a restaurant rather than an attraction of some sort. While an attraction is always nice, I think the Carthay makes a statement. The place is unprecedented within a theme park on the West Coast of the US. Walt Disney World in Florida's big secret is that it's a culinary powerhouse, but even there most of the good stuff is hiding in hotels or to the wonderful selection in Epcot's World Showcase, which itself has unprecedented refined theming and dining. Yet still, the Disney theme parks suffer from stereotypes of their own past and lesser amusement parks that crowd the country. Burgers, fries, and junk food are what most people expect, and anything beyond that is greeted with low expectations. Sure Disney has multiple award-winning chefs working the background of many of these restaurants, but you can't blame the general public for not knowing about this or expecting it: the parks themselves don't really advertise themselves as places to have fantastic, unique dining experiences.
But here we have the Carthay Circle Restaurant, a place that has ended up one of the classiest restaurants in Southern California let alone a theme park. The first floor houses a full lounge and bar serving 1930s era cocktails put together with a masterful flavor and attention to detail. These aren't drinks you can just go pick up anywhere in the country, finding anything like them typically requires finding one of a few top tier bars scattered about, even then usually buried in a few populous cities like LA or NY. The 2nd floor is a dramatic, opulent dining area, full of various rooms and enclaves evoking a restaurant design they really don't do that often anymore. The food is exceptional, with a menu that isn't afraid to be adventurous even though it still needs to appeal to a majority of the tens of thousands of people walking through the gates. Quail, Rack of lamb, Fresh fish, Short Rib, Udon… it's a feat that it all pulls together.
The dining experience is really an extension of Disney's approach to most experiences: a great blend of nostalgic theming, constructing an idealized past along with modern flourish. You can't really go anywhere else in California and have the dining experience you can have at the Carthay. That Disney has put this front and center in the park is a notice to all guests that theme parks may not be about what they assume they are. It's not just rides and burgers (although there's nothing wrong with that): it can be about refinement and relaxation, it can be about idealized culinary experiences as much as lands of fairy tales and talking cars.
I think the Carthay is one of those placemaking institutions, a place DCA sorely needed. The Carthay is something I can keep coming back to. There's always one more drink to have, always an item on the menu calling my name. Sometimes it's not about a ride or attraction, sometimes I want to be transported to an idealized fantasy and just exist in it, sipping a cocktail, looking over the menu, enjoying my surroundings and my company. Putting a place like this within an icon of a theme park tells people "this is the kind of thing you should be expecting to do here." If it defies expectations for not being "a ride" then I think the plan is working perfectly.
(That's a Pimm's Punch up there by the way: a perfect drink for the summer.)
