OR the many faces of chance’s halloween costume

What? Its been two months since everyone went into hibernation mode? No one has posted since before the winter season began you say? Bored? Need some inspiration you say? Well, I’ve got just the thing for you:

Watch closely, as we look back at how Chance’s Halloween costume evolves and changes to match his environment (or moods?):

Initial word vegan correctly representing evil ex-boyfriend #3? check.
Rearranging the word vegan into other words? check.
Rearranging the word vegan into not other words, but possible acronyms instead? check.
Careless evolution into illegible symbols or characters? check.
Drunken reappropriation of tape into random shapes and genitals? check.
Inevitable hammer and sickle? of fuckin’ course!

But they are ALWAYS such cute boys. Look at all of the these pictures I have amassed this past couple of weeks.

I wish the WHOLE OTHER ROLL of film I took on this day would have turned out. The lighting was really beautiful, and everyone looked really beautiful… Dang!

Oh well, Chane and Ben (and Emma) can revel in these pictures because they look like rock stars!!!

ps. I have been shooting a lot of film lately. Hopefully I will keep up with adding them to flickr.

Just found this great video of Bobby McFerrin demonstrating to a panel of neurophysicists how the brain anticipates notes at the World Science Festival. Cool! What else can our brains do?!?

Today Emma and I did a photoshoot for the next update to our Hello Ladies Vintage Shop! Chance decided to help by being the offical balloons-holder. So of course. after the shoot, we had to take some silly portraits and jumping pictures. I am sure Emma and I will have all of them uploaded to our Flickr’s before too long. CHECK IT OUUUUT.

BOOMBOX from Ely Kim on Vimeo.

This guys filmed himself dancing everyday for 100 days, and I think it is GENIOUS. Probably the most fun he’s ever had, but the hardest too. You can find the playlist of all of the songs (WHICH I AM NOW DOWNLOADING) on his vimeo.

Ramis Kim, super cool

You must have heard of the Ken Burns effect

Allison — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 04:59:20 +0000

all of you media artists out there. If not, you’ll know what it is when you read about on Wikipedia here.

Anyways, I somehow stumbled upon a video clip of Ken Burns himself, speaking about the Ken Burns Effect. It is very interesting, and even funny. Enjoy!

psych! i like this video better.
