the other thing that struck me at the protest, was the ubiquity of cameras. everyone taking pictures of everyone else. it would be fun to reassemble a snapshot, different views of the same thing - a strange animation of sorts.


another favorite shot the sign just comes out very cool.


young SFPD officer keeping an eye out. not sure what to make of his expression.

book review adventures of kavalier and clay by michael chabon. a brilliant book i thought. one of the best i've read since, captain corellis mandolin. interesting characters and period of history from an interesting angle, comic book characters as golems, witty dialogue (clay, his mother and boyfriend at his mom's house for dinner), great phrasing(wish i had the book i'd copy out a couple) and capturing of mood and personality. don't know if it was the descriptions themselves, the subject matter or what, but it definitely made me want to draw...

past few weeks have been busy at work, so not felt inclined to write. there then, of course, are some days where i feel, "what the hell am i writing this for anyway?"

went to the SF peace rally (was it only) last weekend. click and check out the photos



A San Francisco gathering can't help but have a ton of people trying to outdo each other with clever witty sayings, signs and/or costumes. It's fun, but sometimes it gets to be a little too much. What's the message, here? one might ask: a little too many people focusing on Bush's failings which is not going to convince anyone not to go to war.

movie review confessions of a dangerous mind another brilliant creation of charlie kaufman, assisted by great camera work ( the same cinematographer as steven soderburgh I assume ) and acting. not bad for a first time director (g. clooney). good story no matter its truth or fiction.
