Today’s the third anniversary of hurricane Katrina…three years ago last night I was flying in to Gulfport with my brother, my biggest source of angst figuring out how to get a hold of a video camera.
Last night felt significant too, and by historical standards it was, being the night the first African American candidate accepted [...]

Illiterally Incredible
Posted in Personal, tagged Biden, Convention, Democratic, literally, Obama on August 26, 2008 | 3 Comments »
For some reason Obama’s pick of Biden for VP and the Democratic National Convention have touched off a frenzy of people compulsively misusing the word “literally.” Biden did it it eight times in 16 minutes in his running mate speech (as noted in the Chicago Tribune and lots of other places).

It seems like WordPress might now be ready to let me post the photos I uploaded instead of screwing up like last time…here’s the new “Konrad as DP” shots I mentioned a few posts ago (by Ardith Ibanez Nishii):

4. Tag 6 [...]

I love the cartoon they chose for this, wish I knew what the hell it was from. This is the poster for a tour I checked out last night at the Knitting Factory here in NYC because it was the next time Philadelphia guitar virtuoso Jack Rose was coming to NYC.

Did a fun shoot last week, the project manager Ardith was nice enough to snap a picture of me being a DP I’ve been needing for a while:
…too bad my blog isn’t letting me show these pictures. That’s what this week has been like. I just got my VTR (Panasonic AG-DV2500) back from the shop [...]
