Hand assembled computer, Biennale.py virus, Windows 2000, anti virus software, plexiglass
“Biennale.py is a computer virus we created—with hackers group Epidemic—for the 49th Venice Biennale. Released on the night of the opening, it quickly spread around the world.
Immaterial and self-replicating, when the virus enters a computer it stays there, hidden, trying to survive for as long as possible.”

For Macro Mondays: Colored glass.
This is the stem from a memorable champagne glass from New Years Eve 9 years ago when many people thought everything connected to computers would crash at midnight.
Pitting three entry-level SLRs from the early 2000s against each other! It's a show down to see where each camera excels and where they aren't too good. It's the Canon EOS3000 vs. Nikon F65 vs. the Minolta Maxxum 70!

Canon EOS 3000 + Canon Lens EF 28mm 1:2.8

This elderly Ford Thames wrecker truck was my first photograph of the new Millenium. I had travelled to Scotland to celebrate this epochal event, my mother and I cracking open the champagne at midnight. Come the morning, we needed to clear our heads and off we went for a brisk local walk.

Sin duda un verano poco productivo en cuanto a fotografia se refiere. Practicamente, de los ultimos 3 meses esto es todo lo que tengo para mostrar. No es mucho, pero he experimentado algo en la fotografia promocional, para Disobedient Magazine donde tambien publique algunos articulos sobre mi fotografia.

Backstory: This is a newsletter that Michael Morrow (See Hawaiian Album) and I created in the waning months of 1999. For those of you who lived through that time you'll remember the low-level paranoia about computers malfunctioning when the clock chimed midnight. A neighbor of Michael's took the fears a bit too seriously and Michael felt it was his duty to make fun of the poor sod, so we created this five page newsletter, posting them in the neighborhood on New Year's Eve. Nothing came of it, at both the macro and micro ends, but we had great fun making it.
Y2K Angel Chest Tattoo by @adorationsinsl
This will be available as a new, discounted release at our mainstore for Wow Weekend starting 6/23/23.
Inspired by the fashions and jewellery of the late 90’s to early 2000’s ~ work in progress in drawing
Back in 1999 I thought it prudent to set aside a bit of food. Not because I thought the world was going to end, but in case pre-millennial tension got out of hand and people who did think the world was going to end made a rush on the supermarkets, driving up prices and causing some short-term shortages.
Needless to say nothing of the sort happened, and I forgot about my Y2K stash until mid 2006 when I went to move the filing cabinet I'd hidden it in, at which point I remembered it and gazed upon the contents in fascinated horror.
So here it it. Swelled cans, crumbling pasta, and out of code rice that looked perfectly edible.
After taking photos I sealed it all in a cardboard box, drew biohazard symbols on it, and threw it into a skip :)

On Christmas break in 1999 I took a bunch of photos walking around DC in tourist mode. I'm probably not going to post most of them, but the Y2K sign makes this one irresistible.
This building is quite a period piece at this point -- brutalism at its most brutal. Hubert H Humphrey died at an inopportune time in architectural history -- he got this building and the (now demolished) Metrodome in Minneapolis named after him. I just learned now from the Wikipedia that it's actually quite an engineering accomplishment because the I-395 tunnel and a "major sewer line" run underneath.
My personal Y2K anecdote -- one summer, maybe 1998 (that would be right after graduating from high school), I worked as an intern in the IT department of the company where my mom worked. My task was to meet with teams in the company who had small-scale custom applications (like database applications) and test whether those applications would be Y2K compatible. I remember teaching myself Paradox for DOS, among other things. In retrospect, I can't believe they entrusted this to a high school intern. They must have thought it wasn't really all that important.
