I love playing around with gifs! Lately I’ve been creating cinemagraphs, still images with just a tiny bit of movement, with the Kinotopic app and posting them to the Objective Scenes bloghole.

The Valencia Street Swing
Let me tell you about my love/hate relationship with the Valencia Street Swing. I love how elegant it is, and hate that I didn’t think of it first. A few weeks ago, some folks hung this swing from a tree branch across the street from Summit Cafe and it somehow managed to survive until late this afternoon.

A tale of two dentists
Four years ago I was drugged up and getting some dental work done by one of those dentists that asks a bunch of questions while he has his hand in your mouth. Immediately afterwards I made this quirky little watercolor painting with the hopes of capturing that familiar perspective we all experience during a typical dental visit.
Last year I visited a new dentist in the neighborhood and came across this painting in their waiting room:
I asked my dentist about the piece and they said it was a gift from one of their patients. What cracks me up about the two paintings is that they are so similar but have such different intentions. I was trying to capture this twisted experience, but my piece seems cute compared to the other piece… which was intended to be cute!

Journey into analog
I bought my Diana (by Lomography) in December from Photobooth SF (where I also got this tintype portrait). I figured learning more about analog photography could be a great way to help me improve aspects of my digital photography. I shot my first four rolls of film using the “pinhole” exposure… meaning not a single shot came out. I guess it’s learning lessons the hard way is part of the experience, but after a lot of practice and experimenting I’m glad to finally have a few shots worth sharing! See the full flickr set here.

New/Free music from Kid Koala
Update 1/10/12: Eric just posted a bunch more stuff… rather than creating a new post I’ll just put it here:
Just noticed that Eric San, aka Kid Koala, has just posted a ton of obscure tracks on Soundcloud and Bandcamp. I’m not positive, but I’m guessing his “MusicLibrary” cuts are intended to serve as bumpers for Adult Swim shows:
His Get Up and Get Down Vol 1 (Cardio Cuts) is a live mixtape recording. The audio isn’t that great, but the mix is pretty solid. I’m particularly happy to hear him sampling Push Button Objects, a rare early cut from Eyedea and Abilities. The beat comes in at 1:56. BTW, if anyone happens to have a decent digital recording of this “Push Button Objects” or the instrumental, please get in touch!
BTW, you’ve heard Kid’s band project, The Slew, right? If not, you can still grab their debut album for free here.
