Happy Mother’s Day!

Strunz & Farah hit the neighborhood last night at the Catalina Bar & Grill, which was the same place I attended the pitch fest for Under Angels last year. Made for a perfect date night.

Best seats in the house. While Strunz & Farah are old favorites of mine, it was M‘s first show. She loved it. If you’re not familiar with the music, I’d describe it as dual acoustic guitars blending Middle Eastern and Latin melodies on top of Afro-Cuban grooves.

I actually didn’t realize they now call LA home. After the show, Ardeshir came up and introduced himself. Saw me tapping on the table all night right in front of him. Asked us to call him Eddie. We need to jam!

In case you missed it. April 26, 2014.

Somebody created a mosaic of individual timelapse movies of the sky, each one capturing a single day.

This is a year-long timelapse study of the sky. A camera installed on the roof of the Exploratorium museum in San Francisco captured an image of the sky every 10 seconds. From these images, I created a mosaic of time-lapse movies, each showing a single day. The days are arranged in chronological order. My intent was to reveal the patterns of light and weather over the course of a year.
