Sleeping In

We are all on the beach at night when they start setting off the ordinance. Who knows where they got a hold of it, but they are far enough off shore that it is hard to see the great plumes of water rising into the air – fifty? a hundred feet? It reads as smoke or clouds, but then there is the roar as the towers of water collapse and seem to walk towards us on the beach like gray giants, lumbering out of the ocean and the dark. It’s marvelous and haunting until they start shooting the ordinance closer and closer into the waves and the towers of water react randomly; seeming to skit around our heads like giant snakes, bursting forth at impossible angles and pouring down and we panic. I dive into the sea and swim over to the harbor police and tell them they have a problem: very well armed lunatics, having way too much fun for a beach party.

Water Falls

Saturday I went to Governor’s Island for something called the Emerge Festival… and to see the Waterfalls. Sunday there was a ferocious thunder shower that ended in a sun shower.

Nothing Left To Say

I imagine myself at a dinner with Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas and I keep on talking and talking and I never let the ladies get a word in edge wise.

Stupidfuckingbrokencamera

bedredhead.jpgUpset, sleepless thinking about my new camera that is now completely fucked up. I don’t know what happened. One minute I’m happily uploading Coney Island footage and the next minute the camera went on the fritz; didn’t drop it, didn’t get it wet. It’s only a year old and I’ve treated it like a baby. Can’t really afford a new one and getting it repaired seems pricey too. Anyway there’s a strange beauty in it’s broken image and I’ll have to revert to photomotion and animation I suppose. As it is, I’m drawing in my new big pad and as I put this blog together I am shocked at how much the thumbnail for the video looks like one of my dad’s paintings. Ghosts in the machine, perhaps?

Turn The Page

Bought a new pad of paper yesterday. Wide and large and impossible to scan, so I’m playing with what I can do with it by shooting with the camera and taking out the noise in photoshop. Still looking for the big idea.
