Real Dolls

I'd explain this whole phenomenon, but it is so much more interesting if you just look into it yourself.

Masks by Eric Brown

Shot this film about a month ago.  When you think everything went wrong, and you just did OK, turns out you did a good job, and everything went right.  That's a good feeling.  And I am getting really good at shooting films with an Lowel Omni and 2 cliplamps.

Why is Craigslist so scary sometimes

I posted this ad:

We have 103 rolls of expired Fuji Superia X-TRA 400 speed 35mm film. It has expired but has been kept refrigerated and we shot a test roll with no problems. 

Location 125th street and Lexington Ave on 4,5,6 trains. 


And this is what happened:

DO YOU STILL HAVE THEM....BRIAN

Sure do.  Heading out tonight but will be around most of tomorrow if you can pick them up.  Best time is 11AM to noon, but if not we will work something out.

Play Him Off, Keyboard Cat

This one is my favorite, followed closely by Walker Texas Ranger informing a young Haley Joe Osmond he has aids. We went to interview the creator of this meme (not the original cat video) for Rocketboom today.  See the original meme starter here.

Our Bombs

Want to know where those taxpayer dollars are going/exploding?  Well, the people at www.OURBOMBS.com are dishing out knowledge on exactly that.  If you can get past the political slant, OURBOMBS is a very interesting look at where bombs are going and also a very interesting portrait of modern day data gathering.  Check them out and thanks to Rocketboom for the lead on this one.
