WiiSpray
What is the”WiiSpray“ project? The foundational basis for the project goes well beyond replacing real graffiti as an art form. Moreover, WiiSpray is to be seen as an interface to give graffiti a new virtual level surpassing tactile boundaries of the tangible world. Within the system, there is a symbiosis of digital and analog as well as overcoming restrictions of distance and time. An...
“Graffiti” to be legalized in Brazil?
Last week a law was passed in Brazil legalizing graffiti. But this doesn’t mean exactly what you may think. In Brazil, “graffiti” (grafite in Portuguese) refers not so much to the entire hip hop tradition of writing, but more specifically to colorful pieces, characters, abstractions, and other painted street art. In everyday speech, it’s often contrasted against pichação, which is Brazil’s...
A Few More Thoughts On HDR
After Wednesday’s shots, I was ready to throw the whole process out the damn window. But I put it out of my mind for a while, let it percolate, and came back with the conclusion that I was doing it wrong. My shots of the Earth piece & the rail car didn’t look good to me. Not that they looked bad, but they lacked the punchyness of the bridge shots I’d taken on Tuesday.

HDR Experiments
Since I’ve been having so damn much fun using a photo-stitching program to put together killer panoramic shots, I though it would be interesting to try out another post-production trick, HDR. It’s not a technique I think that I’ll use a lot, but I do like how it can be utilized to make certain scenes really pop in a way that a regular photo might not.
Something I sometimes...

Arboreal Graffiti Viewable From Space
After this first initial “100 Years Lenin’s Anniversary” sign was discovered via Google, made 40 years ago a whole bunch of similar sightings were found across Russian territory using the same Google instrumentality.

More Than Just Photos
Every six months or so, I decide that I want to have a blog. Usually I will keep it up for a week or two and then let it drop, but maybe this will be the time it actually takes hold.
This Tumblr has just been sitting here squirting out whatever my Flickr/Twitter/Delic.io.us fed it, but I’ve trimmed that down so it will be less photos (and only the really good ones) & more words. So ignore...
My Subconscious Is Weird
I’ve been having a lot of dreams lately about photohunting, mostly about graffitihunting.
Last night I dreamed that I was in Denver, and a wildfire was sweeping out of the mountains into the city. I fled to the outskirts while the firestorm burned the western half, and then as the fire moved on to the eastern portion, I entered the charred urban ruins that were left. All of the freight trains...
