The CAT CAM

back from NICARAGUA

just starting out...
on our way to one of many adventures
chico
donkey dragging is a sport
joey gives a thumps up to NICARAGUA
I got the privilege to travel to Nicaragua, to help with the producing / filming of a 1st hand episode. The trip consisted of traveling to Nica with a few pro skateboarders and document the origins of Chico Brenes a professional skateboarder that made it to the US when he was 10, and became one of the most well know skateboarders of the industry. The magic, color, and uncertainty of this amazing land were the backdrop of this marvelous adventure, and the company of people like Colin Kennedy, Rob G, Danny Montoya, Joey Bresinsky, up and comer Luis Tolentino and of course Chico Brenes made this trip an unforgettable one. Enjoy some of my phone pictures while I developed the others.

Peter Fuss

A very creative artist from Poland who uses the streets and billboards as his personal canvas. The picture above is from his work "War Has Started" that shows another side of the artist using a witty stencil in times of national security? whatever. His other works tend criticize the public idolization of "sacred" symbols but at the same time he tries to express unity as a lost concept it a society based on images.

Check out his work here.

CEMENTARIO DE LA RECOLETA

Came to check it out while on tour in Buenos Aires, impressive!

"Cementerio DE LA RECOLETA For the living and dead alike, Recoleta is Buenos Aires’s most prestigious address. The roster of residents within its walls represents wealth and power as surely as the inhabitants of surrounding Francophile mansions and luxury apartment towers hoard their assets in overseas bank accounts. Arguably, the cemetery is even more exclusive than the neighborhood—enough cash can buy an impressive residence, but not a surname like Alvear, Anchorena, Mitre, Pueyrredón, or Sarmiento."

good stuff

David Gallery in culver city Los Angeles represents some great photographers.

Looking forward to their next show....

Random travels & the bad pictures that go with it..

Perspectives

In Perspectives you get interviewed and asked a question, but instead of presenting what you said, they just show what you didn't. More specifically, Perspectives presents the body language and the spoken part of the interview gets edited out, so the communicating gets done by your pauses, your thoughts (literally) and your hand gestures.

Go watch it.

RSS reader...

Well if you are not using feeds from your favorite websites and blogs its time to start. It makes a world of a difference, instead of having to hit every website that you follow, the website comes to you, research it, you wont regret it, there are a bunch of RSS readers out there but I am hooked with bloglines because it has the best interface for your mobile phone,  so you can get your fix on the GO....

Alan Jaras Photography - A Bridge Between Art & Science

Taken directly form his flickr page:

"Using traditional photographic techniques and pieces of complex shaped glass and plastics I project these patterns directly on to colour film. The resulting images and photographs that you see are purely analogue and are not computer generated, but a true representation of the patterns formed by the light beam after its complex journey through the refractive objects I create. These are analogue images of the refraction patterns of a beam of light passing through various transparent objects. The image is captured directly on to 35mm film, no camera lens is used, the transparent object replaces the lens. Colour is introduced by placing specially prepared coloured filters directly in the light beam."
