Anonymous Computer Hacker & Ninja, 2011

Back from all of our ACP/Emory events of the week in Atlanta on Saturday night. As we rode the BART train home from the airport we realized that Halloween was waiting for us upon our return.

More on ATL later this week, but needed to share the splendor and curiosity of these wonderful costumes our kids dreamed up: Wilson is a vicious Ninja, and Eli is a member of Anonymous, the computer hacking entity / civil dis-obedience entity that took over SF a few months back.

Any questions?

Colin Pantall's Book Is So Great

Did I get the first copy to land in the states? Maybe...
m
Colin Pantall's book "Sofa Portraits" arrived directly from Bath, England last week.
What comes to mind when leafing thru it? Oh...lots of things.
m
Handmade, hand stitched...my wife was charmed by the book qualities and how intimate of an object it was. Me...I didn't care about the book construction, it was the images that spoke to me.
m
Seeing the project collected like this, you really get taken into the inner life of this child, the spectrum of emotions and the thoughts within her head.
m
Watching these emotions is like watching a cloud darken and then erupt with rain: the changes are subtle and imperceptable, but at the end it all hits you...and in a big way.
m
If you want to learn the secrets of these images, the book is how you get them... and get to revisit them. See it HERE. Buy it HERE.

Foggy Morning With Smiley and Antennae

Still trying to do something with this sheet of paper, obviously.

Don't know if these two pair off, but I think the shot of my son in the street fits the feeling of this project. Don't really think of this as a diptych, as much as a book that will have facing pages or a series of images lined up next to each other...like a sentence.
