No animal can resist the lure of the laser pointer.

…Except for one of my girlfriend’s cats - who is a psychopath (the cat, not the girlfriend).

I must get a copy of this movie, Drunken Dragon.

It features this fight scene between a land canoe vs a human go-cart.

New Blog - Portland Music Photos

I’ve set up a new blog called “Portland Music Photos” - The theme is local music photos by local photographers.

Portland is putting out a lot of great music. But I think we need to add some visuals to that, to see as well as hear what’s going on.

So if you’ve got a cool photo photo at a show, submit it and I’ll post it to the blog, twitter and onto Facebook. And if you include a link to your gallery/website, even better.

Space Gallery’s Free for All exhibit - in 3D!

Space’s Free for All exhibit is an unjuried group show featuring works by a wide variety of artists in a democratic curatorial experiment.

I took a slew of photos and put them together in a 3D environment, so you can see the exhibit as if you were there. Suggestions for browsing the images - open the view to full screen and make sure to use the navigation arrows to move around to get different perspectives.

Alan Lomax's global jukebox becoming a reality.

This is pretty impressive. A huge number of tracks, thousands of hours of material in various formats, is becoming available.
