I gotta say, this ‘content aware scaling’ feature in CS4 is pretty good. I can’t believe I didn’t know about it before now.

Sweet dreams!

Strange Worlds

Matthew Albanese builds micro-universes to take photos of places he’ll never go to.

Tornado: steel wool, cotton, ground parsley and moss.

He builds them out of household items. flour, cotton, cinnamon, rocks, tables, dollhouses, fun fur…

My work involves the construction of small-scale meticulously detailed models using various materials and objects to create emotive landscapes. Every aspect from the construction to the lighting of the final model is painstakingly pre-planned using methods which force the viewers perspective when photographed from a specific angle. Using a mixture of photographic techniques such as scale, depth of field, white balance and lighting I am able to drastically alter the appearance of my materials.

If you happen to be in NYC, he has an exhibition opening at the Winkleman Gallery on May 7th.

Congratulations to all the women and men at CERN, where they have been successfully colliding beams at 7 TeV in the Large Hadron Collider for over an hour now.

Particle physicists around the world are looking forward to a potentially rich harvest of new physics as the LHC begins its first long run at an energy three and a half times higher than previously achieved at a particle accelerator.

“It’s a great day to be a particle physicist,” said CERN1 Director General Rolf Heuer. “A lot of people have waited a long time for this moment, but their patience and dedication is starting to pay dividends.”

Shine on you crazy bastards.

I wrote a big depressing entry about what a shit mood I’m in, but it’s too self-indulgent for even me to post.

So instead, here’s a photo of me about to leave work for the day.

Happy Monday, everyone.

+ I ate delicious barbeque for a week while I was in Texas!
- However, I might have broken my wrist there.
+ …while I was riding a mechanical bull.
- …because of an Irishman who thinks he’s HILARIOUS.
- Irishmen.
+ Audra has been staying with me at my apartment for the last week since I got back, and it has been the best week I’ve had in a long, long time.
+ I will be taking over a larger 1-bedroom apartment in my building at the end of the month!
+ This means I will have room to get a portable dishwasher. Oh sweet jesus yes.
+ I’m doing some really awesome UI/Wordpress stuff at work for the new website.
+ A lot of people are going to be using it after it launches.
- A very heavy speaker fell off a shelf and onto my face on Tuesday.
- Percocet seems to serve only to make me nauseous and useless.
± The combination of facial abrasions, fat lip, and splinted wrist appears to encourage strangers to be very, very nice to me.
+ Booking for the bigass autumn tour is going well.
- I need more downtime.

You will find me if you want me in the garden

You will find me if you want me in the garden
unless it’s pouring down with rain
You will find me if you want me in the garden
unless it’s pouring down with rain
You will find me if you want me in the garden
unless it’s pouring down with rain
You will find me waiting for spring and summer
You will find me waiting for the fall
You will find me waiting for the apples to ripen
You will find me waiting for them to fall
You will find me by the banks of all four rivers
You will find me at the spring of conciousness
You will find me if you want me in the garden
unless it’s pouring down with rain
You will find me if you want me in the garden
unless it’s pouring down with rain
You will find me if you want me in the garden
unless it’s pouring down with rain
You will find me if you want me in the garden
unless it’s pouring down with rain
