BOARDWALK EMPIRE | VISUAL EFFECTS

A huge fan of most things HBO, (especially the old intro, Fraggle Rock and Six Feet Under) I found this quite intriguing. I'm looking forward to the next season, slated for the fall but in the meantime, True Blood and Sookie Stackhouse have my undivided attention.

Schlieren .44 Magnum

I ran across this image today. It's a technique called Schlieren Photography that captures refracting waves of air. In this case it makes for an amazing shot of a .44 Magnum that visually captures the thunder from that handgun. For more on this photo visit the post I found it at and more about Schlieren Photography on Wikipedia

LUCIAN FREUD STUDIO

"The man is nothing. The work is everything." In Freud's own words. Listen to his narration. Take in his words, his studio and his work.

Lindsay Lohan by Richard Phillips for V Magazine

Disregard the persona of Lohan and all the trappings of celebrity and modern life. I find this beautiful and reminiscent of Godard and his work on Contempt.

Is Tropical - The Greeks

The animated violence is a little jarring in this music video for The Greeks. However, as a boy this is almost verbatim how the neighborhood kids and I played in the backyards, creeks and basements of suburban Kansas. Directed by Megaforce. Animation by Seven. Production by El Nino
