My short film “Walter Ate a Peanut” made it into the Cannes Film Festival. Things like this don’t happen very often so I and Darrell Williams (AKA “the writer”) decided to go. We ended up being finalist in 2 major competitions sponsored by Amazon and The National Film Board of Canada. We were slightly confused as to how it all worked so we found ourselves walking around looking at things and talking to people. Here’s a few pictures.
Barcelona like other temperate cities takes on a very different character when the weather turns bad. Northern cities often get cozier when it rains but Barcelona and places like LA just seem to go in a totally different direction. Granted these images are not romantic… no modernista masterpieces reflected in wet cobblestones… but these images might be a more accurate reflection of the real face of unchecked development. More pictures can be found here.
We spend Christmas in Rouen in Normandy. We sometimes take the train to Paris for a couple of days between Christmas and New Years. Pictures here.
We spend part of each summer in Brittany and Normandy. There are often fairs and circuses. As they are geographically right next to each other it’s odd that the coastal people of Normandy are so much darker and taciturn than the Bretons. Maybe it’s that the Bretons are celts. Mysterious. The pictures are here.
I went to Dubai in November of 2007 for a grand total of 18 hours for a preproduction meeting for a television commercial. It was overwhelming. I only had my DV camera and my cel phone to take pictures with but I was able to return a few months later and take more pictures with a better camera. The photos can be found here as well as the photos page.
I made two trips to Dubai in 2007. On the last trip I spent a couple of days driving around taking pictures of the people that are building the place, and what they are building.
You can find the gallery here and as before, it’s available on the photos page.
I am finally organizing my art and photos. First up is my odd trip to Beirut in 2007.
I went to Beirut to shoot a commercial. On the day before I was supposed to leave more or less war broke out. I went anyway. Hmmmmm….
You can find the photos here.
