    Favorite video I’ve seen lately. From Michael Julius. (Weird that it’s embedded two.)

    I hadn’t considered the intersection and overlap of still-photography and video until I saw Bill Viola’s “The Passions” at the Getty in 2003. Weird, because as a project, Viola’s work had painting in its sights more than photography, but it opened-up to me the idea of the pure power of a moving image (in Viola’s case, a super slow-moving image) when compared to a photograph’s stillness. I remembered Viola’s show today when I came across this quote from Jeff Rosenheim:

    “We started collecting videos when they have an organic relationship to photography,” said Mr. Rosenheim, who was promoted to run the Met’s photography department in September.
    Which circled me back to how photographers might be able to use video in a way that reenergizes their own photography, which is what I was thinking of when I made these a few years ago. Crudely done, sure, but baby steps - a first foray.

    Leave it to the French (Laurence Haim) to produce the weirdest look inside the 2012 Presidential campaign, titled “Obama, La Derniere Campagne”. Eschewing the pool, the film’s views inside rallies (for both elephants & donkeys) have an engaged immediacy sadly lacking from anything I’ve seen from credentialed media, stateside.

    Here’s a wonderfully weird passage from a “Citizens United Productions” rally for Rick Santorum. Gotta love how they’re praying for Obama, and even Michelle, Sasha, & Malia!

    Quick peek at how my studio looked last Spring, at about 2min40sec, but don’t skip!
