Unity Through Laughter - So Fluffy!!!

I seriously want as many people to watch this video as possible - the more useless stereotypes and preconceptions dead, the better (although may the humorously benign ones live forever! I can't take a world where an Arabian prince can't be in possession of a real life tiger and one ideally named Rajah).

Love this guy and genuinely love what he's trying to do with his work - it's a hell of a balance being able to remain genuine, truly hilarious and culturally sensitive without completely ignoring cultural differences and ultimately being able to highlight the humour in all of it.

Salud Gibril!

The closest I'll ever come to 'experimental' 'photography'...

... yes, both sets of quotation marks are necessary when you're talking about me essentially chasing tail lights in Rhode Island on a slow exposure in a moving car.

Nevertheless, it did make the drive back to Jersey from Newport that bit more enjoyable and some of these turned out a lot more fun than I expected so hey, why not post those bastards and pretty this place up a little? I re-stumbled upon them looking through the pics I took on my last trip to the US back in 2010 and found myself momentarily wondering, I was on what, now?

Of course, I secretly think I've delved into the untapped genius that is my photographic capabilities and am sure that anyone who sees this will demand I immediately contribute to a gallery exhibition on the sheer merit of all the pretty squiggles because, come on, look at those things.

La Linea!!

Yeesssssssss........

Destino (2003) by Salvador Dali and Walt Disney

This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.

Having now watched the short film, it seems the most natural of combinations, but prior to viewing, I would have never in my life imagined seeing something that was so quintessentially Disney while simultaneously bearing Dali so brilliantly in its essence. The surrealism of Fantasia delivered no form of preparation for such a visual and symbolically emotional onslaught.

Tremor

Love, blood mingling death and life.

Time taunting ends, beginnings, curves.

Beauty an eviscerating waltz.

To-ing, fro-ing, eternity, atrophy.

Hope imbibed in gulps, in chokes.

Desolation, desire, helically bound.

Mind's lids droop inescapably rent.

Destiny swallowed whole.
