I flew in to London Heathrow and was able to snap in a couple photos. I felt like a spy studying the steel structure of the terminals. The massive identity to them. But now, I’m wondering if that’s why they held my luggage for five extra days.
in response to the upcoming Chinese New Year, i put aside my life from a different city / beating the traffic to come home to an empty space. all i can hear is the wind dancing with the curtains.
What happens when you send a request out to the world to chronicle, via video, a single day on Earth? You get 80,000 submissions and 4,500 hours of footage from 192 countries. Producer Ridley Scott and Oscar-winning director Kevin Macdonald took this raw material — all shot on July 24, 2010 — and created Life in a Day, a groundbreaking, feature-length documentary that portrays this kaleidoscope of images we call life. National Geographic is bringing it to theaters starting July 24, 2011. Prepare to be amazed.
This is my friend Gilz taking a photo of himself after we went snowboarding on the last day of the season.
Dear Readers:
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!
Its been a while since I’ve posted from my end of the world (China). However, I do not throw up empty promises… the photos I took from Zhuhai and Hong Kong will be shot up after a bit of editing. In the meantime, GONG HEI FAT CHOI!! Hope you get more LAI SEE.

This video got banned from the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery in Washington DC, in a current exhibit on gender identity. It’s about how a man dies of AIDs, specifically Wojnarowic’s lover back in 1986/87.
Here’s a scathing review on the Pittsburgh Gazette.
Find the full version below the cut. But personally, I like this version with Diamanda Galas’ track on it. If you’re unfamiliar with her, she’s the terror in operatic vocal horror. I use to listen to two 16mins+ tracks of hers that drove me absolutely insane.

This beautiful girl is Richie Chen. She’s a 27 yr old moderate Buddhist living and working for ‘The Man’ in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. She believes “to listen to only one kind of music is like having only one emotion.” Her favorite quote comes from an American classic, Jack Kerouac from On the Road:
“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow Roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars, and in the middle, you see the blue center-light pop, and everybody goes ahh…”
Indeed, “Ahh” is what we say… Welcome Richie!
