OMG...I'm so tired today.

Two videos from the lovely Kahimi Karie.  She's Japanese and sings in Japanese, French and Italian.  She also has a great sense of humor.  You Tube only has her early songs.  Anyway, here are two of my favs...

Wow.  I'd completely forgotten how much I LOVE Japan.  The anticipation has been building steadily over the past few days and now I am more excited about this trip than just about any other over the past few years.

Anyway, I've decided to post music videos featuring some of my favorite Japanese musicians until we leave on Thursday.  The first artist ( Read more... )

The event listing is up for the other exhibit I'm participating in.  It's huge.  Sucks I won't be here for the opening...  :( :( :( :(

Our friend, Stephane, held a small fondue party Friday night for his friend, Andreas, who hails from Switzerland and is back in the States for a little while to work on a project at Fermilab. Tristan and I were already exhausted from a long, busy week when we showed up at 9pm, but since we didn't leave until well into the wee hours, I guess you ( Read more... )

I'd hoped to have the new site ready in time for the opening, but it was not to be.  Ah, well...I'm almost almost done with it, so I've uploaded the bones with a little meat to my server.  Have a look and let me know what you think.  I think the photo selection is about 80% done...some photos will be replaced cuz I'm already tired of them, haha.  I ( Read more... )

The opening reception was awesome.  The place was beyond packed...an insane, thoroughly atypical turnout for an opening.  I sold two photos to a wonderful lady from Boston (I honestly hadn't considered the possibility that someone would want to buy my photos at the opening...I wasn't even trying to sell them.  Crazy!)  My friends are awesome...I ( Read more... )

This song breaks my heart.  :(

Suga just alerted me to coverage in today's edition of New City of tomorrow nights "Digitally Entwined" show.  Here's the link.

A bit from the article:

"The fifteen artists involved with "Digitally Entwined," which is opening at Acme Art Works, are out to bridge the gap between Internet-based photography and a typical gallery show. The exhibition ( Read more... )
