It's like being a sniper - breath ... Bhrggghllllll
If you go to his website, his name up at the top left is also the search box. What I love about html is how it seems so limited, and yet, here I'm seeing for the first time today something that could have just as easily been done 15 years ago.
There's so many things that you can do, sometimes it's nice to remember that there are only a few things that you should do.
This was the setup we used for photographing the Texas flag on Thanksgiving. I had a ladder set up next to the Cruiser, and two white lightnings to help with the lighting.
I'm running this blog on Posterous, and I'm loving it. Maybe the other blogs can do this kind of stuff just as well, but this just works out of the box. Sachin Agarwal puts it nicely many times over, "What would Steve Jobs do" -- but I'm convinced that on many levels he's doing it better. I can post by emailing post@posterous.com, all the options that you want are right there.
For me though, it's all about the little image gallery he's got running. This is kind of my big test: how does it handle 15+ Images? So here's some of the pictures from Tex's Flag.
I was trying to determine the distance from Las Vegas to Redlake and I ended up on Google Maps, zooming into the actual location of Redlake, a installation I made in November of 2007. It all kind of came back to me, the mountains the washed out colors of mid-afternoon.
Then I saw the mountains, and I realized how familiar they looked. You can kind of scroll down and look at the inverted Redlake after this project, and see the similarity. Well its the EXACT same mountain range, Here's the location in google streetview.
I'll get to the serious news soon enough. I'm putting together a proposal for a sculpture to go in front of the City Hall in Allen, Texas, and I accidentally reversed the colors in my Redlake project from a few years back, and it looks awesome! Look forward to negatived pictures of all my art ;) from now on.
