“Seeing Stars” – Nick wrote this tune during his stay in Half Moon Bay. He and I then thought it’d be cool to record it and do a stop animation type video with Becky’s and my new SLR camera. Nick also wanted it to serve as sort of a documentary of his visit so we just let that be the flow. We were limited to… the Windows Movie Maker (ugh), an old laptop, and of course, time… so cut us some technical/editting slack.. But as Nick pointed out the “limitations” have it again! Thank you LTDs, couldn’t have done it without you. Oh and you’ll notice a black eye in the video… well you should see the other tennis racket.

This shot brings memories of an amazing photograph composed and taken by Matt Tiernan. I bought it from him and still have it, but its in storage back on east coast for time being. It is of a hand holding a vacuum tube above a bathroom sink/drain. My shot just sort of ‘accidentally’ happened sometime last fall. – I must think that something somewhere in my brain was cluing me into Tiernan’s work and also that of my ex-wife Renee’s, who takes great close ups of food and figurines.

Although I mustn’t discredit the wet peeled beet… it’s an amazing sight that can really work the camera.
