Yesterday’s post was a little on the heavy side. Enough with the grim. The weather this week has been mostly perfect. Wednesday I ate my breakfast, lunch and dinner outside and it was lovely. And we might go tubing down a river this weekend. And we’re having an outdoor cookout with old friends (wherein we will be boggling at how large our children have gotten).
Five more good things for a Friday:
- Dang, I wish I could have attended photographer Alec Soth’s Summer Camp for Socially Awkward Storytellers. Sounds like it’s right up my alley. “This really is a camp about telling stories — with pictures. In a world where smart phones have made cameras ubiquitous, Soth challenges the group to return to an older form of storytelling — the slideshow.”
- So that was visual. Here’s audio - Radio Producer as Earwitness: MPR’s Marc Sanchez on World Listening Day and more about it in this post A Listening Experiment
- Now for the combination of audio with moving pictures in storytelling, Joss Whedon on being prolific. I still need to see his Shakespeare adaptation. And definitely before his Avengers TV spinoff, Agents of SHIELD, begins airing.
- Switching it up from fiction to maybe slightly fictionalized truth, I would love to see this documentary about musician MIA, if it ever gets released.
- I’m not quite sure how to categorize this one: Jay-Z Is Lip-Synching the Same Song for Six Hours and It’s Art. Huh.
Gah, it’s nearly mid-July already! It’s been a complete clusterfuck attempting to renew my son’s passport. Going to give it another go tomorrow morning and expedite it. But first we have a road trip out West before we leave the country. Hard to believe his summer camp times are drawing to a close already. But he’s been enjoying the heck out of it. My summer treat to myself was going to be a new tattoo but I haven’t been on top of it. This interview with artist Stacey Rozich is a reminder to get in gear, and pick something of hers to be permanently inked into my right forearm.
