Polaroid resurrection attempts

This is a link to a New York Times photo gallery - a collection of polaroids sent to the paper in response to a story about resurrecting a polaroid factory.

There are ton of cool adaptations with the film, mixing funky lighting and development, with illustrative things as well. 

For sure the film was cool, but I'm scanning old 35mm film right now, and it's awful.  Digital polaroids, anyone?  I guess that's why there's Photoshop

iPhone photos

My friend Andy Bardon showed me some cool iPhone photo applications.
This photo uses 'polarize' and 'toy camera.' Photo is from Shelburne
Falls- not looking forward to the hills on the bikeride back

The Crane Estate

Beautiful rolling landscape up to the 'castle'. It's closed inside,
but the interior sounds awesome - mix of gothic, art deco, and other
styles.

Afterwards, questing for more fried clams.

Type is Art

Here is a stop action film I made - took a bunch of still photographs, where I moved the graphic elements just a tiny bit each frame. Got the inspiration from two places: Sue Tallon - my favorite food and conceptual photographer right now; and TypeIsArt, a website where you can mash around parts of letter into graphic art pieces. The song I created last fall, and it's just been kicking around my head with no outlet. I think it fits with this video.

Cool Reel

Really like this guy's  reel (Matthieu Bessudo).  Funky take on the old cartoon aesthetics.

Sorry about the last few posts - I'm trying to figure out all these
connections between mobile gizmos, social networks and blogs. And yes
even twitter
