Ginger Moonlight

By this time it was dark except for the moonlight. Ginger and I went to a nice place on the Alexandria waterfront where there was a single light.

Solar Bike Shelter

This was an interesting experiment. I saw a photoshop tip where there were two photos taken to get two different exposures. Here I do the same thing. The exposure on the wooden structure meant that the sky was over exposed and getting the sky too look good meant that the strutcture was too dark. I used an rgb difference matte to take out the over exposed sky and replace it it with a nicer one. It looks kind of like an animation, certainly not normal. I figured that I would take some time to play around with some effects and learn them very well since I have the opportunity.

Morneau's Music

Lillian and I stopped by David's house and hung out for a while, watched a video that Lillian made and then David showed me a bit about how he made the music for yesterday's dance GMU Dance 2.

Lillian's Back Yard

I was in Columbus the past few days and as I was driving around I saw Lillian returning her netflix package to the post office so I stopped and caught up to her. She ignored me at first cuz I was some strange man saying hello at a bus stop but then it was all cool when I yelled out her name, in that way, so we hung out in her back yard upside down.

Traveler

Tony Oliveres performed this work several times during the improv festival and I never got to see the whole thing because I was working. I took some time during a break to run up to the MLK Library and see a little bit. I did not have my camera so I used my cell phone.

Where the Hell is Matt

I first learned about this site on a podcast I listen too at cnet.com where I get my technology new and reviews. http://wherethehellismatt.com At first I was disturbed by it because I felt that people were associating him with dance on the web. But then I realized that it was not about dance it was about people and dreams. I first learned this when I was dancing with Liz Lerman/Dance Exchange. We would go into these places and dance with people and it was never about movement or movement skill but connecting to people by listening to them and making sure they were heard audibly and visually. How fun to dance with people all over the world and share it. His message is that you can travel, it is not that hard and not that expensive. True, if you are a person of a specific socioeconomic class. I went to Jamaica my first year of grad school. I did not have a sponsor however. More than anything is makes me feel that I am doing the right thing. I may not get a sponsor but I am making art and I am doing what I love and if people want to see it, they can.

Objects of Hope

I was on my way to the improv festival when I happen upon Kelly Mayfield and Contradiction Dance in rehearsal. SO I stop and whip out my camera and start taping. This is a slightly different version than the performance so enjoy.
