French photographer JR…always innovating. His newest project profiled in this video involved taking photographs of senior citizens in Cartagena, Spain and pasting their likenesses up in different spots around the city. While this idea may not be new, his talent and execution make it succeed. Check JR“>his site for photographs and more documentation of the project.
Hotness. Could have used some color though…reminded me of a cross between a SO ME video and the main man Evan Hecox.
I live in Brooklyn, got boys all over, been around the world and you know that I know the…
I was given reason to pause and take stock of life this week: a friend of mine died, and she will be greatly missed. And so it was that I was sitting up at night reflecting on this and other things that I happened upon this lecture, (already viewed by over 4 million people) commonly referred to as the “last lecture” by this former Carnegie Mellon professor who incidentally passed away on Friday, the same day as my friend.
Going through the daily grind, a lot of us don’t stop to think about life in a critical way that our time here is short, and that has become all too poignant for me these last few days; to stop and actually listen to this guy (longer than I have ever sat for any web video) and think that my friend was once a child with dreams not unlike my own and Randy Pausch’s is a blessing and an inspiration…
Live well, laugh often, love much…
I usually don’t post mixes up here as a general rule (I’d rather leave it to the legions of MP3 bloggers out there) but I came across this by Martelo (who has been making a name for himself as Santogold’s tour DJ lately) and the always lovely (see above) and talented fashion designer and DJ Kesh and it is, for lack of a better word, fire.
Ever since I saw Chris Marker’s La Jetee back when I read about it being the inspiration for Terry Gilliam’s Twelve Monkeys, I’ve been thinking about the potential of audio narrated slide shows as a possible medium for expressing things that traditional films sometimes don’t offer us the time or the space to contemplate. There is something really powerful about a single voice talking over photographs, and in this case Bryan Derballa does a great job of putting together a very personal slideshow of this guy Jason Andrade’s experiences growing up on and hustling on the streets of Bushwick. What makes it so evocative? There is a directness to it that cuts straight through the bullshit; no flashy camera tricks or bravado, just a pure human story told with brutal honesty. I would urge everyone to check it out.
Weezy, please take notes on how to do a live video concept from Cheff BoyR P and Co. Thanks. Oh, and SPAZ IF YOU WANT TO!!!! Shout out to modi for upping this first.
Amazing new video made with no cameras, only 3D plotting technologies. Radiohead, always innovating.
