THE LINE BETWEEN WHAT YOU MIGHT DO AND WHAT YOU MIGHT NOT DO IS AS THIN AS YOU THINK IT IS.

It’s all ready.

It’s all already.

It’s all right there.

I used electrical tape to affix my Canon Powershot to the front of my bike before I left for my morning commute. I live in Astoria, and right now I am working at the Public Theater on Lafayette and 8th Street in Manhattan. Such a thing as time lapse footage of a commute may be “played out” I realize – as some of my Wooster co-workers made fun of me for doing such a thing, however it got me to thinking as to why I was interested in the idea to begin with. For some reason, this video is highly personal to me. I’ve watched it over and over. It’s a geographical tracing of my route from one location in the city to another. But, it is also a document of a time line of events. I remember what I was thinking at certain landmarks, certain intersections. I remember specific thoughs from threading in between certain trucks. Ever since I got a bike I feel a ceratain ownership of the city that I’ve never felt before. That’s really very nice to me. So I decided to document it. For better or for worse. The music is Caribou. The video is here. My basic route is here.

The Solar Bikini is now in the hands of the Greylock Arts Gallery in Adams, MA as part of the Sustainable Energy Art show there along with several other sustainable ITP projects. Journalist John E. Mitchell of the North Adams Transcript wrote what I think is hands-down the best article on the Bikini yet (link). In other news(papers), MaryJane Weedman (yes) of the WSJ or Washington Square Jounal wrote up this little article on the Bikini this weekend as well. Thanks journalists! I can’t wait to see where the bikini will end up next. The South American Rainforests? The rumors may be true.

andsoyesherewego. I started my job at The Wooster Group yesterday. Hey alright. I’m nervous, excited, and sad. I am working at Paltalk and doing some free lance with the HotelSavant. I am proposing a class, and riding my bike and taking pictures and sleeping on couches, and kicking off the Prelude Festival with a short reprisal of Retrograde. Hey alright. Let’s go.

I picked up this sweet stripped down machine from a great guy in Greenpoint. I’m in love.

After a very long time with Movable Type, I’ve finally switched over to Word Press. I’ve wanted to this for so long now, but the fact that MT wouldn’t properly export all my previous entries and that Godaddy wouldn’t properly serve Word Press stuffs made it somewhat difficult. I’ve switched my Godaddy hosting over to Linux which takes care of the Word Press compatibility problem and I’ve manually exported most of my prebvious entries at the old address.

So here it is…a new simpler address, one that can actually receive comments, and one that is under my administration.
The old blog address will stay there for permalink purposes, and this new address will be the one with fresh and exciting updates from the land of Narcissus.
tell your friends…
Enjoy!

Just got back from the Janice Dickinson Modeling experience. Wowsers. Here’s my documentation. The segment doesn’t air until December. More later.

I’ll be in LA this morning (right now I’m in NYC) to shoot a segment for the reality TV show, The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency. Janice wants to turn her agency green. I’m there to help, and to get het into the solar bikini. I’ll be back in NYC tonight, god willing. More to come.

I got a Flickr Pro account. I remember two years ago when I heard someone say, “I just need a good photo manager.” I laughed…nay, scoffed. I actually wrote the phrase down so I could use it later. How absurd.
I finally replaced my second stolen camera.
I got a Flickr Pro account. Here we go.

This summer I applied for a finishing funds stipend from Macktez.com. I made it as a one of five finalists, but found out today that I did not close the deal. The guy who did however really deserves it. I think that I can honestly say that I am genuinely more excited for this guy to have the money rather than me.

Nice.
