Welcome to the
rebellious blog of an obsessively overly perfectionistic
artist, who is compelled to create and occasionally write about the proccess.
Do
artists really have to be crazy to create? Perhaps
not, but the water is warm, so dive in and find out!

Part 2 of our Latest Podcast
Up on the Polysemy site is part 2 of the premiere podcast with Dan Allison, Thom Morgan, Matthew Dallman, and me. This is a continuation of our discussion about an experiment in which virtuoso violinist, Joshua Bell, anonymously played his Strad during the morning rush hour in a Washington D.C. metro station.
Please join us as we take the discussion even further.

Shiny Things
I recently discovered and ordered these photos from Will Day, dancer and resident photographer at Dance 101. Shooting metalwork is a complete bitch, and I usually say that the only thing more difficult to shoot is glass because it is even more reflective. Photography of choreography in motion reigns supreme, however, as the conditions are dark with freaky colors due to stage lighting, and most photographers just click as fast as they can in the hope that there will be one or two shots that look vaguely like people doing cool things. Will has that rare sense of how to anticipate and capture the moment of movement that is worth freezing. Film is bad enough, but digital? Well, I know he's got a much cooler camera than mine. ;-) Btw, most of the other pics of me dancing were photographed by Will except for one a while back by my mom.

Premiere Polysemy Podcast
Up on the Polysemy site is part 1 of a podcast with Dan Allison, Thom Morgan, Matthew Dallman, and me. The topic is a fascinating and revealing experiment as reported in a Washington Post article in which virtuoso violinist, Joshua Bell, anonymously played his Strad during the morning rush hour in a Washington D.C. metro station. The results were somewhat surprising, and the article gives an in depth look at the implications of the experiment.
We take the discussion even further.
