Your Wonderful Brain

Or am I lying..... Fun Errol Morris interview about the difference between lying and deceiving... I myself am more of a deceiver than a Liar - never could keep a straight face...

But either way, great article and it reminds me how much I enjoy magic... Somethings never get old... Enjoy this video from Magician (and Morris friend) Jerry Andrus...

My own polaroid!

The NYTimes story regarding instant photo's and the evolution of cell phone photography continues. And this time, yours truly is part of the story.... Of over 1,500 photo's submitted, one of mine was chosen to be featured on NYTimes.com - see it here.

Needless, to say - I'm very excited.... My first published image! Excited but not about to quit the day job yet......

From Polaroids to Iphones

This next installment in a series on photography the New York Times is exploring - cell phone photography appears to be today's Polaroid. While the photo's lack the grainy almost hazy color, their candid nature and off-beat locale's make for an interesting comparison.

The Times highlighted the images of "Shawn Rocco, 37, is a professional photographer. He shoots a Motorola E815."

Rafiqi’s Tries To Intimidate New Mexican Cart From 49th Street

How can you compete with a headline like that? Saw this article in today's NYTimes and decided to do my own research prior to getting lunch. What I found near my office, the above headline and a link to some tasty Mexican.

Who knew it was so rough and tumble out on the streets - see the full article about the beef between the two vendors here.

Paris, 1978 - going 140mph!

Amazing piece of film - received the below note in an email this morning - AWESOME!

On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a friend, a professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck speed through the heart of Paris early in the morning . The film was limited for technical reasons to 10 minutes; the course was from Porte Dauphine , through the Louvre, to the Basilica of Sacre Coeur.

No streets were closed, for Lelouc he was unable to obtain a permit.

The driver completed the course in about 9 minutes, reaching nearly 140 MPH in some stretches. The footage reveals him running real red lights, nearly hitting real pedestrians, and driving the wrong way up real one-way streets.

Upon showing the film in public for the first time, Lelouch was arrested. He has never revealed the identity of the driver, and the film went underground. If you haven't seen this before it is a classic, if you have seen it I apologize, but it's still a classic. Turn on your sound and enjoy..............
