misguided*perception - "the future of documentary is lies" is the fitting wrtie up for the new joaqiun phonex 'documentary'. a genius film that really fucks with your mind, you'll come out feeling a bit put out but it is amazing, most interesting thing i have seem in ages. don't read about it, just watch it

graphics[19] - doc in NE portland; your dinning experience starts by walking through their kitchen into the intimate dinning room. dinner is what they have on the day and each dish comes with a perfectly matching vino. awesome place - now i understand what the fuss is all about! check it out.

treasure hunt[01] - amoeba records, largest independent record store in the world; these guys are cool! the fifteen minutes i had was just nowhere near enough time to investigate even a fraction of what they have. check them out if you are in town.

it's in the details[01] - the standard hotel cover pretty much ever need and impulse you might have in their mini-bar. umbrellas, gum and even boardies in their vending machine downstairs. i'm impressed i managed to contain myself to just eating the oreos. the carpet was pretty funky too! it's a great place to stay if you get sent over to la-la land.

advertising[02] - so i saw this photo in the hollywood/max factor museum last week. in our tour guides words 'apparently this is about a 100 year old shot of hollywoodland. it was a sign for a real estate developer that went by that name and i'm told the mayor requested they lost the 'land' from their company name as they didn't want to give them free advertising'*...the rest as they say is history
*of course, i'm open to challenges if this was a q.i. moment

think beyond yourself[01] - so when did sony just start getting annoying, let me rephrase that, i wonder how many times they have come close to going 'universal' and then decided to remain annoyingly closed garden. it's funny that whenever i am up against a deadline and sony are involved my stress usually jumps through the roof. their lack of connectivity to my mac world in anyway is very frustrating, be it video, photo, leads, SD cards or whatever. maybe i just grew out of their my-first-sony approach to everything. 残念です。

safety[01] - so this is my last post on flying hopefully for a while. since i have moved state-side i've had to make the move from good old ba to delta. their safety vid is the thing that surprised me the most and i thought was pretty well executed. i just checked to see if it's the kind of thing that might (1) be on youtube and (2) be the kind of thing people make the effort to watch...a resounding yes! apparently 1,778,773 people think so, and there i was thinking NOBODY would watch an airline safety video without being forced to do so on a plane. thinking about it that's probably a much higher watching verses concentration level than airlines achieve in context...

holding pattern[01] - this is a quick hello to any regulars out there, i've been stuck up in the air for the last few weeks and not really had the chance to post anything to keep you ticking over. i feel like i could smash out a great piece on 'life up in the air' but then that would just be retelling all of the george clooney truths...the one thing i will say is that any glamour that might of been associated with flying is long dead, sadly.
some advice when traveling domestically in the US: buy your own food and water before you board, take your own entertainment and have low expectations.
check out this video on cabin crew flying out from heathrow by steve schofield. maybe it's still cool in their eyes...

american metal - i took my first greyhound bus the other weekend. not the experience that the movies had lead me to believe as i wasn't in the lager silver bullet, but on the plus side it wasn't as 'crazy' as i was told it would be. the highlight was probably finding this in the carpark on one of the 'relief' breaks. i might have finally found a use for my 14mm lens and a start point for my car hunting.

on the go - the calorie count and fat breakdown of all of the ingredients on the receipt was probably more interesting but this was my first proper fast food on the go experience and the burger looks way tastier than an old receipt. i thought it made a nice contrast to the penny_le_cruz experience in south africa last year and was worth linking back to an older post, enjoy.
