GO AQUATICO

Ok I did start that new blog on all things Aquatic & Beach Living. I will probably post more over there in these coming months as i am doing more traveling in the Caribbean and want to continue an exploration of my fascination with beach aquatic life style: see AQUATICO

Flying into Space

Incredible film of a ride in a U2 spy plane. Just wish that James May had kept quite - the images & music say it all.

Aquatic Ape Theory & human evolution

I am thinking of starting a new blog on Beach Life .... now that i am back on the Caribe Coast ... and i want to link it indirectly to Aquatic Ape theory which i subscribe to. I have been posting on this subject when ever i get more convinced that we went through a major change in our evolution living close to the ocean. Here is an old BBC documentary on the theory on Youtube

And the main preponent of this theory Elaine Morgan

Her Web page: http://www.elainemorgan.me.uk/

and a recent Ted Talk she's in good form for 80

We are all Liquid

My new film - a preparation for a dive. More evidence of the Aquatic Ape theory in evolution at work.

Humans descend to the watery depths below, at the edge of land. But all is liquid in this world.Set to Sigur Ross.

Art Advertising & Antiquity in Rome 2 more pics

Art Advertising & Antiquity in Rome

In Rome everything visual has to pass a test

'Does it integrate with antiquity in a stylish way?

If it does it may get presented as an 'Installation' meaning its gotta be art. Two examples i saw from my recent mission there , looks like the world swimming championships are coming to Rome so around the city is this really cool poster of a statue like swimmer in googles. Down in the Piazza del Spagna is an installation of a swimmer about to dive into a pool, man this is cool advertising, something that informs entertains & embellishes the location.

Down by the Coliseum they are branding that building with a great pic of Vespasian the emperor who created it.

I salute the agencies who did this. Rome is just too cool. I love it.

Eternal Espresso

The travel bag is packed once more, as tomorrow i head to the eternal City to see friends & to make some new films. I will be hoping to catch site of the Shadow Agent again, i hear he likes espresso.

But the film i have been thinking a lot about recently is a portrait of the Pantheon, my favorite building in antiquity, its gonna be a challenge.

The Wind Blades of Denmark - Eco Sculptures

I have always marveled at the incredible Wind Turbines of Denmark,apart from the generation of green energy they are stunning sculptures in the landscape. I find them hypnotically beautiful. Their design & wind technology has been exported all over the world, you see them usually in communities of other wind mills, this one was standing by itself. It seemed to welcome my visit and consented to being in this film.

The Patience of Stones 11, The Lankavatara Sutra & The Matrix

I have just finished another short movie 'The Patience of Stones 11'filmed on Tisvile beach, i have included a quote in it from the Lankavatara Sutra' words on the nature of reality i had originally seen on the introduction to a book 'The Drop Edge of Yonder' by Rudi Wurlitzer ... the Patience of Stones series is a meditation on reality and as i began to look into The Lankavatara Sutra which from my limited reading sujests that the Reality we think is reality, is nothing but MIND ...so i remembered a couple of scenes from The Matrix. The one where Morpheus is instructing Neo about reality and the Spoon Bending scene.

The Lankavatara Sutra is the original corner stone of Zen... which to my mind at least is saying that the 'No Mind' state of Zen IS Reality..

What do you think of that zen ?

Cool Caribbean Colors

I had to add this pic of the Bahamas this morning to remind me of the colors in the Caribbean. Almost mid summer in DK and it feels like Autumn here. This migratory bird flies south in July, much earlier this year.  I hope there are no Hurricanes to greet me in the Caribbean. This shot taken from a seaplane over the Exumas Keys will be appearing on my Film Website.
