The Portal

Not a Burning Man person myself , projects like this make me wish I could stand the trek.
I hope to see/experience this in person.

Farewell Kazuo Ohno

It is easy to be sad by the passing of such a remarkable human being and someone who has touched my life so remarkably , yet when someone lives 103 years and has had a profoundly productive life it is perhaps wiser to celebrate them.
Kazuo Ohno the founder of Butoh passed away this month at 103 . He continued to perform up to his death. He was an amazing inspiration in so many ways. Thank you Kazuo for living and dying so many times,again and again in such beautiful way.http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/02/arts/dance/02ohno.html

The Bell Wheel

I am crazy about this thing! The Bell Wheel is on display at the Museum of Jurassic Technology in Culver City Ca.
Had I arrived earlier I could have spent hours in the room with this wheel of tinkling bells . A better video would be nice
but you sort of get the idea.
This is link better describing it's meaning .

Chappaqua

I saw this film last night at Ella Street Social Club.
A bar in Portland that was formerly a funeral home.
This is by far the most interesting thing I have done since my return .
An incredible film ! Beautifully done in 16 mm goes from black and white to color throughout.
At times Noir , Expressionist , surreal and psychedelic.
If anyone can get ahold of this DO!
I was enraptured by every second.
