Stage Art

I consider it them as blessing. Flickr and similar sites that adopt Creative Commons as a way to distribute content is a blessing. The idea of letting art free is wonderful and need to be fully supported. I have been releasing my art work in the form of photographs, drawings and videos with Creative Commons license. And have been enjoying the proliferation of it. My photographs have been used to illustrate articles in uncountable blogs. Some have been in videos or slide shows mostly for non commercial and educational needs. Some were used in collaborative effort. One in particular was used to transfer NYC experience half way around the world to a design office in Taipei. The picture is of a subway station, tittled life's a stage. I was contacted by a designer on his interest in using one of my picture as a part of his office setting. Intrigued by his idea, I sent him a high resolution file of the photograph. A few weeks later he sent me the picture below. Showing my photograph printed large and used as wall paper in his office. Pretty neat. Art should be free!

Street Music

HBE

Summer in NYC, is the best time to catch great street performances. One of my favorites, and I think is also the best street performance is The Hypnotic Brass Ensemble. The group is from Chicago, and during the summer they travel to Europe for shows with stops in NYC. I have been very fortunate to be able to see them perform three times this summer alone, all three times in the heart of the city, Times Square. They also perform in Union Squares and few other places in the city. Their performances are like summer treats, their music is amazingly in the spirit and the beat of the city.

They are always able to pull large crowd, and make them stay for sets of their amazing music. Members of the band, and the style of their performance in many ways are very attractive. The seven siblings in the band have great dynamics lending their performance to be ultra photogenic.

Sleepwalker

See the set on my flickr: Browse or View as Slideshow

At first it was a couple "unlucky" captures I found when editing my photographs in iPhoto. Instead of discarding them, I hid them, since I really don't believe in deleting photos, specially in my early photographing history. Memory was expensive then. When I have about four of this unlucky picture that I started to like, I put them up on flickr. Surprised by the responses I got on them, I decided to make it a set. I started looking carefully in my library, and actually put this concept in my mind when photowalking. Capturing the right blink then becoming my "lucky" shots.
I now carries DSLR, with a collection of sharp lenses, large memory card and continuous shooting mode. It seems easier to capture sleepwalkers, it is now just about getting the right moment.

Video of a dangerous family...

Dangerous family.

My brother Dana just sent me this video clip of him and his kids gooving (goofing with video, get it?) around... They actually did this a couple of years ago, Dede and Kharis are much older now, and of course much more powerful!

My brother Dana works in the field of video production, design, production, direction... I guess the whole schebang... He has multiple roles in multiple companies to juggle...
