2012: One Minute a Month

Jan 09

This is year will begin my 6th year of taking a photo/video a day. Every year I've tried to find a theme that carries me through.  2008: No theme, just take a photo a day.  2009: One word titles 2010: The crazy attempt at attaching a song title to every photo and the ensuing video compilation.

Beauty in a Second

Ben Grey, who despite his poor taste in music and clothes, has a great eye for composition and design. He introduced me to the one second video contest and challenged anyone to create their own version. The way in which we play with media is fascinating.
