Eric Hart is the awesomest photographer ever. I'm not saying that Eric's photography is necessarily awesome. In other words, he's a photographer, and he also happens to be incredibly awesome.

The By Itself Tree

The By Itself Tree
Article in Scientific American - Doubt is Their Product. How Corporations use their own studies to cast doubt on scientific studies done on the dangers of chemicals they produce and use. The Joker knowingly sold poison substances disguised as cosmetics to the people of Gotham City, and it's pretty much agreed he was a pretty evil guy. But if he was corporate-evil, he would've gone a step further and had scientists convince the people that Batman couldn't be trusted in his declaration that the products were the cause of all those deaths.

The Crushing Modernity of Modern Life

Wall
I was going to name it that, instead, I called this, "Wall." The crushing modernity of modern wall. Walls. Moderninity. And don't forget to check my Flickr page for my picture of the Big Ass Coke Bottle.

Driving By

Driving by
Driving along hepped up on Nyquil cause of this damn sore throat. I must've chugged a lot of that stuff, I don't remember taking any pictures... then again, I don't even remember going driving today.

Sun Burst

Halo II
I saw Star Wars III today. It was pretty good. I still think Kirk was a better captain though. I hope Lucas makes a sequel where we find out what happens to Darth Vader's kids. I know Palpatine chose Anakin, but I think Tana had a chance to be his new apprentice. I wonder why all the spaceships suddenly become crappy in between Episodes 3 and 4. The next generation of kids are going to watch these in numerical order, and once they start Episode IV, they'll be like, "What the hell just happened? You go from computer animated flying robots to stormtroopers bumping their heads!" Fathers will talk of the first time they saw Star Wars, and those kids will think them pretty stupid for being surprised that Darth Vader is Luke's father. Was it just me or was Emperor Palpatine a metaphor for Bush? I hate to say this, but you'll never make anything with the scope of Star Wars, so don't even try.

Cool article here. Talks about the appropriation of obscure photography and other art as visual ideas for music videos. Common practice in most visual design, though music videos tend to just recreate the photograph completely. Tsk tsk. In grad school, we were always doing stuff like this, finding a bunch of photographs that had the mood and feel for whatever show we were designing. Then sticking them in Photoshop and cutting and pasting them into bits of scenery; this chunk becomes a wall, this is the floor, these are the actors, here's a prop. You mess with it enough so it doesn't look like plagiarism, but that's pretty much how the professional world of production design goes. One of the students once downloaded some costume designs from another show and traced them. That got her in a bit of trouble; when you make the copying obvious, you threaten to blow the whole deal. And you never steal from theatre to do theatre; you steal photographs, paintings, and installation art. What are you, new?

Old bald midgets on bikes are spooky

Old Man's House
I wish I had the words to the rest of that rap...

This is the werewolf's house. Or the old man's house. Or maybe, the old man is the werewolf. Or the grey man. But I think the old man and the grey man are the same thing. But the werewolf might also be the lead character... unfortunately named SMPTE. Try selling that on Project Greenlight. "What's wrong, Matt Damon? You don't like the fact that the main character is named after the standard time code for film and video?" Like Will Hunting is a name to cry home about. Or Jason Bourne. Jesus, Matt, are any of your characters' names not puns in the title of the film?

So we're weightlifting today, and Derek goes up to this girl and asks how much her IPod cost. An hour later, after we leave, he goes, "Well, I try to help you out, but I guess it's no use."
"I thought you just wanted to know how much her IPod was? That's your idea of playing wingman?"
So for future reference, everytime Derek looks at a girl, it means she'll go out with me.

"Who's that guy over there taking pictures?"
"Oh, that's my brother."
Yes! I've been promoted from "that kid" to "that guy." Today I am a man. A black and beautiful man.

This is me

In the future
My allergies were acting up today, so I put on a respirator. No, actually, it's cause I boofered. But really, I just wanted to try out my new shutter release cable. And I needed a similar shot for a t-shirt design I'm working on. So take that, Reginald!

Thinking about...

Thinking about...

I stood under the angel, and asked about my past. The angel stood before me and handed me a pair of Levis. "Does this help?" she asked. "How does this help with my past?" I asked, confused. "Oh," she said. "I thought you said 'pants'."

Baby Statue Going to Eat You

Endless Stare
He's not going to eat you. Unless you're a child. Or your name in the movie ends in a number. Party girl #3 and security guard #2 don't stand a chance. But at least Fexblar waits until after party girls #2 and #3 have a shower scene together. That's the baby statue's name - Fexblar.

You can see I changed around the format of my 'blog.' Whether that's better or not, I don't know. But it's got cool buttons.

Red Cross

Red Cross II

The name of the town is "Red Cross". It's not affiliated with the international organization. Unless they borrowed the name from a one square mile area consisting of a church, rod and gun store, three houses, and a billboard.

Here you can see the continuing progress of this non-epic. Sort of a bucolic epic. A bucolpic.

Klingerstown Gap

Klingerstown Gap
Johnny Tractor lives on one side, and Willie Corncob lives on the other, and they can only visit each other in the winter when the river freezes over and they can walk on it. Or as they say, "ford" it.
