Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
The insane video of Mr Barry McGee will be for sale at Giant Robot. This video was super hard to get. It should have been easy, but the other end of the video, was super slow. This isn’t inexpensive by any means, but I swear it’s great. Barry will say this video is terrible, but I think it’s quite great. It captures him at work, messing around, doing graffiti, and shows how he interacts with people.

The mail provides. Today it's a camera kit. The Compact Automat. I got invited to take photos and turn over the film in exchange for this camera and accessories. I'll do my best. With it, I'll shoot whatever I want, and the Lomo folks will choose some images and use them on their site. I have a bit of time to learn to play with this and it's trippy extra "stuff" that comes with it. I know Lomo has...
The mail provides. Today it’s a camera kit. The Compact Automat. I got invited to take photos and turn over the film in exchange for this camera and accessories. I’ll do my best. With it, I’ll shoot whatever I want, and the Lomo folks will choose some images and use them on their site. I have a bit of time to learn to play with this and it’s trippy extra “stuff” that comes with it. I know Lomo has been instrumental is getting people who normally don’t shoot photos, especially in an “artistic” way to do it, and that alone is a great feat. They’ve also managed to procure cameras that aren’t so great in terms of quality, but work with them to the point of being accepted as an art form. They don’t do the digital thing just yet, which I think is amazing. They’re able to keep pushing film in today’s environment, and that too is amazing. I’m sure they’re going to have to push towards digital one day, and I’ll bet they’ll find a great way to do it successfully. Meanwhile, I’ll shoot and shoot.

First photo, my friend Julia got me these from Japan. Powerful minty eye drops. I've written about them before, and was disappointed at the weakness of one of my choices. These are supposed to be powerful. The one on the left looks strong, but in the end, it's medium. Much better than the eye drops I'm currently using which are too weak. Zi has high marks for power. The one on the right, I'll test...
First photo, my friend Julia got me these from Japan. Powerful minty eye drops. I’ve written about them before, and was disappointed at the weakness of one of my choices. These are supposed to be powerful. The one on the left looks strong, but in the end, it’s medium. Much better than the eye drops I’m currently using which are too weak. Zi has high marks for power. The one on the right, I’ll test later and tell you how it is. So far, “video tapes” is what people think when they see these. But I’m now hearing Japanese condoms. I’d hope that a condom box doesn’t have a eye ball image on it. What would that mean? One eyed snake? Would the “FX neo” on the box on the right mean the condom is some kind of special effects condom? As in hologram? Had to add, post office error. Got this today, and look at the ship date. Feb 16th 2008.
