Nebulae

Nebulae are tight. Do I understand them? Not in the slightest. I guess they're clouds of dust, hydrogen gas and other gases between the stars. Within these dust clouds matter can clump together and form stars. Bottom line, they look really cool...Some day maybe I'll have a better understanding of them than that of a two year-old. I'll keep you posted.Eagle NebulaEagle

Flame Nebula

Sufjan Stevens/Aesop Rock- Star of Wonder/None Shall Pass


Broken Social Scene- Stars and Sons

Now the song connections are getting really tenuous.

Port O'Brien

Port O'Brien- "Sour Milk/ Salt Water"

I'm diggin the rhythmic singing in this track, it sounds soo good.

Future Projections

Two cool pieces involving projecting visuals on buildings I've come across lately. I think incorporating cityscape and the regular urban bustle in projection installations is very cool:


Architectural projecting in Dessau, Germany

Jackson Potluck

Yesterday in art history Milledge showed us this really cool site where you can paint like the man Pollock himself. Check it out.

Sunday Night

Another Sunday night. But really my last real Sunday night of high school ever. So crazy. In this incredibly dreamy, cool song I think Lotus Plaza captures that soporific Sunday feeling that everybody knows but can't verbalize.

As cliché as they might be, slow shutter speed pictures can be pretty stunning. Here are some favorites from both the pros and my virtuoso friends:One hour of firefly activity/ Ontario, Canada (Nat'l Geo)

Ganges at night/ India (Nat'l Geo)"Remix II" ride/ Kansas State Fair (Nat'l Geo)Nondescript tunnel
Light painting by Max Gideonse/ Near Smith Rock, OR (Jack Lazar)
