Site Update
For the few interested friends and readers I have out there, here's an update about this site.I changed the format of the site a bit last week to get across what I consider to be my burning embers. Namely, photography, video and the written word outside of work. Toward that goal, I posted my first three articles.
The first is a cooked piece. In other words, I pretty much consider this piece to be completed, even though it has never been published. It's about Interactive art and the South by SouthWest convention in Austin. IN particular it chronicles how art on the Internet is influenced by sharing of ideas and the "commons" of intellectual and artistic pursuits has a firm foothold in the online community as represented in the SXSW convention-goers. There are no photos, unfortunately. But there are two videos. You have to read the whole article to get to them though.
The second piece is about my grandfather. It will eventually become an article about my mother and her two sisters and what it was like to grow up with a witness to the Roswell Incident and what it has been like in the last few years watching him lose his memory in his old age. This article is a bit depressing for me to write. And truth be told, if my mom or my grandfather ever see it, they will probably be upset. There are some photos of my grandfather and soon there will be photos of the UFO Museum which he co-founded as well as a 30-minute video I shot with him about a year ago.
The third piece is a much more recent article about Mama's Kitchen that I've started. It's short and sweet. And will be the intro to a much larger piece as I chronicle the past, present and future of my home away from home. Mama's Kitchen has everything to do with why I am committed to San Diego for the rest of my life. As do Red Door and Stephanie. Considering that, it's worth your while, as someone interested in me presumably, to take a quick second or two to read it and look at the photos.
Drop me a line soon, yeah? I want some feedback on these updates so I scratch my creative itch most successfully.
