uncharted 2

Apart from the shadow work, the depth of field and detail, this game also has amazing camera work. The off-centre angles and camera movement, while being reminiscent of the Bourne Ultimatum, are considered, epic and entertaining.

neon indian: psychic charms

I have always been in awe of people who not only have the ability to play around with sentimentality but than make something fun with it.

rediscovering old works

hey jesus?

Why would one start any kind of message, especially an ad, and begin it with "Hey Jesus...". Is Jesus sitting down, post shower, on the floor, damp hair, untied robe, remote in hand, watching television, at prime time waiting for this ad? Does he reply back, does he wave like a child who can just see his mother, or does he cringe with his fist in his mouth.

vocabulary from infinite jest found at erasing.

i was not wrong

infinite jest. Listening to DFW talk on the radio to Michael Silverblatt on kcrw. Silverblatt, who has a slightly retarded but innocent voice which is extremely likable, asks DFW if the book has been structured like an algorithm and DFW says that it has: Sierpinski Tirangle, which is a beautiful thing.

i do apologize but you have to click on the triangle for the gif to work.

infinite jest

i always like looking for ideas for characters, for stories, but an annoying and impossible trait of mine is that i want it to be original. For instance a character that for ever looks at the remnants upon their soiled tissue. This has been in many books but originality, just needs to shift a little to be new. while reading David Foster Wallaces' Infinite Jest i, like so many others, found something beautiful: Steeply watched Marathe blow one nostril into the handkerchief. Marathe was one of the rare types who did not examine the hankie after he blew. i will be posting more about this book.

the best thing from "bolt"

It contains the romanticism of an action scene but then shatters it with the banal and total inconsequential shot of a cup falling.

The Man with the Silver Briefcase

A movie i made with a friend of mine, Robards, starring Robards, my mum, parents dog, dad and me. It had to be 200 seconds for the Australian Post 200 years competition.

In these last two photographs i couldn't help myself so i played with the repetition. I find that when i need to cull my photographs and comparing the differences of photographs very difficult especially when they look very similar. So why not take two very similar photographs and place them next to each other instead of the mind bending process of choosing between the two. I did it previously in the ny photographs of two fire hydrants one in focus and the other out.
