effervescent
I've experimented with light graffiti and double exposures, but I've never once thought about light projection photography until I glanced at Davis Ayer's portfolio. Projected on human bodies, these photos are a nice blend of elements from film and digital photography; his portfolio is stunning as well, so definitely check it out!
COLLISION OF HISTORY & TECHNOLOGY
Alwyn Collinson, an Oxford history graduate, has begun a six-year project to tweet events from every day of the Second World War as they happened 72 years ago. Maybe to some, that would seem silly and irrelevant, but to me, I find that truly ... amazing. Collinson wants to depict these events in real time, so people today, almost 100 years later, can relate and understand - put themselves in that time period, to be in shoes of people who really lived through WWII- the time period of the late 30s to 40s.
It's really hard for me to articulate to people why history is so appealing to me, because history is the type of ineffable true love that doesn't provide a just answer to anyone's question. (One of these days, I'll try to articulate coherent sentences that explain my one true love, history and *TR*) In the mean time, check out the wonderful twitter, and follow it if you have a twitter account!
This was so adorable. I enjoyed this video so much, and I hope you do too.
Disarray at it's finest. The trees that usually loom over my house and give my parents occasional nightmares during the storm season are being cut down. Bittersweet. Though I do fear for my life occasionally because of the monstrous heights and possible impact the trees potentially could cause, I somehow feel.. sad that they're going to be gone. I've grown up in this house for so many years, and those trees were always apart of my early memories... i.e. riding my bike for the first time, planting the signature trees, raking leaves.. I guess it's time to let go in the name of well-being//decreasing my chances of dying at the tender age of seventeen.
Autumn is fading away quickly, and WINTER is a-coming! Some people are ecstatic, and seem to be super excited for the farewell of pumpkin spice lattes for peppermint mochas/hot choc, but a part of me, a HUGE part, will miss driving around and admiring the autumn foilage. My favorite part of autumn is going on car rides and seeing beautiful colors stream past as I (+company) drive faster then slower then sporadically, through school zones, etc. I drove next to the Delaware River for almost 4 hours, and it was the most relaxing break from reality I had in a long time. I often tell my dad and everyone who brings up my name and driving in the same sentence that I am afraid of getting behind the wheel, but after this drive, I feel more confident and comfortable.
UPDATE! (w/o photos:( )
I haven't been posting much these days, but I can feel that TODAY was the start of something new.. Actually, last night was, but ANYWAYS! Yesterday, I went to the South Jersey Penang(which sucked btw) and celebrated a 30th birthday! The Penang in South Jersey has the potential to be..a suave, epic, super hip hot spot, but it's just too dark and creepy to actually fulfill THAT potential! The food doesn't even compete with the Chinatown Penang, so there's the second problem; the service wasn't horrible, but it wasn't great. Overall, a so-so experience that ended with a rap via my birthday card, then a long nap in the car which led to snuggling/falling asleep in my bed at 9PM. After school today, I went to Pho with some of my favorite people, got french fries at Wendys (new McDonalds sucks BTW!) and now I have to figure out a way to communicate with one of my friends so he can teach me calculus! I was supposed to receive my phone in the mail today, but so far, no sign of the UPS man ..TOMORROW, I am going back to work from an on-and-off - more, off - hiatus of three months.. On Sunday, I'm going to see BEIRUT! Ah, so exciting! I have a lot of school work/studying to do before Sunday 6PM though, so I have to abstain from the typical procrastinating.. Err, well on Wednesday, I'm visiting Lehigh Uni, then on Friday, Happy Feet 2 is coming out! I'm actually seeing my school play instead. I'm really excited for the next two weeks!
