The Good Life

I went to an Indian wedding reception and aside from the amazing buffet dinner, and the abundance of sequined sari's, this was the highlight (thanks Erika!) ;


OK speaking of Kanye West, whom I have a love hate relationship with, he's got some pretty decent music videos these days. He came out with this terrible video for "Cant tell me Nothing" that had this cheesy woman standing with a bunch of cloth blowing in the wind; very reminiscent of Enya. It was brutal and I hated the song because of it....then he went and got this :
and "poof" automatically love him again.
His newer video is pretty great too. Kayne knows how to do it so he goes to the younger hipster crowd and jacks their style. Par example - justice video by directors SO-ME

and then also with art work by So-Me Kanye's new video for "The Good Life":

Fighting in Seattle

My friends Niall and Lukas had an art show in Seattle. We went and had fun.
Sorry still figuring this thing out and in the midst of crazy work so no proper links...but there is a thing on Fecal Face about this show - http://www.fecalface.com/SF/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=853&Itemid=63

for other evils

i am on a photo editing kick, but my ADD won't let me just work on one set. So in the meantime I thought I would also use this blog to do something with my music video watching obsession, and post some good ones when I see them. This one for "where's my love?" by Cat Power is beautiful . I just shot some b&w film lately and then went to see "Control", and now this. Black and White on the brain.

rip summer 2007

These are some photos taken on one of those disposable water cameras. I dont normally shoot this ratio but it seems to work for these ones. While its rainy and gross outside its nice to think of sunnier days.
