Jerome Murat....The latest Entertaining & Creepy thing I've seen

My dad sent me this link to a performance by Jerome Murat, a french mime. I've seen things like this before, but never quite to this extent.

It's a pure and beautiful form of entertainment that involves one man and I would imagine a lot of practice. Take the time to watch and appreciate.

Don't let the word Mime fool you....while beginning mimes who escape from boxes are annoying, this man is a master and has turned this party trick into an art that is close to dance.

I'm impressed

Time - Photos of the Year

I am constantly on the look out for inspiring photographs. While I may not be the best photographer, I can definitely say that I am a top-notch appreciator....

here are Time magazines Best Photos of the Year 2006



I particularly appreciate the volcano picture...You'll have to click to see it :)

Ahhh hahahaha wiiiiiiiiii

I love the Wii. There is nothing better than pretending to play something in a realistic manner; especially when you could really play that something in reality if you only were so motivated.

There's only one thing that I enjoy doing indoors more....Watching movies.


Donny, The Dude, Walter, they're all here and in Mii form!

Thanks Bluegoggles for making this:

But this video makes me very happy. Funniest thing I've seen in awhile. Freakin' YouTube!!!


P.S. Kan man ha roligare? is Swedish for "Could you have any more fun?"

Touch Screen Madness

I recently saw this video online and was mesmerized by it. Not only is the music (which wasn't on the original video) well done but the touch screen capability is something out of "Minority Report".



Check it out and if you're interested in what it is and how it works check out the website developed by Jeff Han on Multi-touch Interaction Research. Super Cool!

High Dynamic Range Photgraphy

I come from a film background, and it's a constant headache (at least for me) to figure out what kind of latitude is going to best fit the lighting of a shot. Then I stumbled across this today...HDR, High Dynamic Range photography. How cool is this!? The images are deep and colorful, and processing is a breeze. There are some amazing HDR photographs on flickr that I suggest you check out.

But after you look...

In order to get the full greatness of HDR, I suggest you check out this website: http://www.cybergrain.com/tech/hdr/
It's got a great explanation of how HDR works.

Just thought you should see this!

D's first blog

So I got a blog...

I just felt left out...

And though I could've searched and searched, I may never have found a blog that would have all the things I'm interested in on it.

So here's my blog called The Artisan's Lantern. I'm an artist I think; but mostly I marvel at the beauty, creativity and technology that other artists create and use. I'd like this to be a place for me to send all of those things into the universe, or at least into the WWW.
