I recently puchased a Belkin “light up” keyboard but was a little dismayed to discover that the little legs that you normally use to adjust the tilt of the keyboard have not been included in the design. Since I hate typing on a flat keyboard I decided to make a semi-adjustable “lifter” to reduce my increase my comfort.

Union City Drive-In, Union City, 1993

I am a habitual self-interlocutor. One evening while taking photographs at the American Museum of Natural History, I had a near-hallucinatory vision. My internal question-and-answer session leading up to this vision went something like this: “Suppose you shoot a whole movie in a single frame?” The answer: “You get a shining screen.” Immediately I began experimenting in order to realize this vision. One afternoon I walked into a cheap cinema in the East Village with a large-format camera. As soon as the movie started, I fixed the shutter at a wide-open aperture. When the movie finished two hours later, I clicked the shutter closed. That evening I developed the film, and my vision exploded before my eyes.

Michael David Murphy`s Beitrag über seine Idee der “Peopled Landscapes” bei 2point8, inspirierte die letzten Beiträge in “durch die Augen anderer”.

It’s not really a picture of the city, or a picture of people. It’s a peopled landscape! And “landscape” means they don’t have to occur in cities. …

… Here’s how these pictures (good examples and statistical outlyers) might fall on a graph of this idea. # of people on the Y-axis vs degrees of familiarity/recognizability/intrigue of the background on the X-axis:

Thanks Michael

I have two things of public interest here: a description of my dinner at elBulli, and a (much simpler) writeup of a dinner at Matsuhisa in Los Angeles.

Apple Caviar Steps
Chef Ferrán Adriá of El Bulli – Roses, Spain:

Once apple solution has been made and well-chilled, follow along with this video clip to learn how to complete the apple caviar recipe:

1. Fill several syringes with apple caviar solution.

   Note: Syringes are used in a similar way that pastry chefs use pastry sleeves. A modern technique of extracting the apple solution has not yet been developed so syringes are used instead

2. Release juice from syringe, one drop at a time, into calcium chloride mixture. At this point, you should see little droplets form resembling caviar. Speed is very important here.
3. Cook caviar in boiling water for one minute (not shown in video)
4. Gently strain and rinse caviar in a cold water bath.
5. Place approximately 2 tablespoons of caviar into mold or decorative tin.

Garnish with passion fruit and a mint leaf.

Manchmal habe ich Ideen mit einer gewissen Herausforderung – oder eben verrückt wie manche Leute sagen. Dieses Mal dachte ich über unsere Katze nach die den ganzen Tag draußen unterwegs ist. Sie kommt manchmal hungrig zurück, manchmal nicht, manchmal mit Kampfspuren, manchmal dreckig und manchmal bleibt sie auch die ganze Nacht weg.
Wenn die Katze dann endlich zurück kommt frage ich mich was er (Mr. Lee ist ein Kater) denn die ganze Zeit gemacht hat und wo er war. Dies brachte mich auf die Idee die Katze mit einer Kamera auszurüsten. Der Plan war eine kleine Kamera an seinem Hals zu befestigen die alle paar Minuten ein Foto machen sollte. Wenn er dann zurück kommt würde die Kamera seinen Tag zeigen
