My brother and my two nephews came to visit this summer. We did a lot of walking and watching. It's amazing how much is going on in this city. From wedding pictures to singing Bowie, just a few feet away from each other. Thomas managed to fit right in.

Found and was captivated by this film in late June, well before I knew the estimable Vanja Cernjul would be lighting Raymond's "City Island" movie. When I asked Vanja what project he was most proud of having lit, he said it was "Wristcutters". Synchronicity. [source] Tags: Faux Press Art Metaphrasty

Hello from the Sound Department from Jan McLaughlin on Vimeo. Shozu auto-crossposts cellphone-created videos to Vimeo for me. Very nice-looking, and a different kind of community than the YouTube, to which Shozu also automatically uploads cellphone videos on my behalf. The downside? Tougher to keep track of overall hits. I don't personally care that much, but marketers and advertisers do. My guess is that in social media terms, responses count more than hits. I like what Hugh McLeod has to say about social objects. What are the social objects of a film-in-progress? What are "City Island" social objects? Perhaps audio, video & stills form a part of those objects. I would love to get Jeff Pulver to do some stories about "City Island" blogging efforts. My guess is there are 'concerns' among the beautiful intensity. Of course there are. It's the bleeding edge of the digital now. A Pulver breakfast @ "City Island" could rock for everyone. Insert brief PRAYER. [Vimeo] Tags: Faux Press Art Metaphrasty

One of the things that excited Kate most about coming here was the idea of learning to garden, to have her own vegetable patch. The topsoil here isn t so good, and would need more added - and it was important to Katie that she should do it all herself. And she was 7 months pregnant, so didn t feel much like digging and turning a big bed. So she built a raised bed. She used the shipping boxes from our move as a base (they ll rot away), then covered that with compost and cut grass left by the previous owners of our house. Then she bought organic soil and manure in big plastic bags - not the greenest solution - but hey, you gotta start somewhere. Turns out she s got green fingers. The RyanIsHungry.com video that Katie mentions is here: http://ryanishungry.com/2007/12/29/food-not-lawns-no-lawn-left-behind/ This was a discount store, Now it s turned into a cornfield Formats available:MPEG4 Video (.mp4), Flash Video (.flv)

I like lumière videos. I like setting up a frame, as if taking a still picture, and then letting the camera roll for 60 seconds to see what happens within the frame. Often, something serendipitous will happen within the composition and within the allotted time. But lumière videos are silent, and I m a big fan of videos with natural soundtrack. Like Ryanne (and Jay) s films, cut simply together, each clip with its natural background hum. There s something very moving about the short rhythmic pulse of these sounds and images together. I shot this one as a lumière, but it d be half as good without its natural soundtrack. So I m calling this a son et lumiere en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_et_lumière_(show) (I used to love these, before irony) Shot with the in-camera Color Accent setting on the Canon IXUS 860, which allows you to sample a colour and turn everything else black and white.

So christianpayne (@documentally on twitter) of ourmaninside.com asked me if i wanted to attend a get together for a picnic and to toast the birthday of george orwell. I asked if food and cakes were order of the day. Obviously therefore i was in attendance.

Enjoying the season so much that I decided to expose my toes to the city air, very rare for me. This required the purchase of a new pair of shoes conveniently enough!
