Trends I’m Sick of:

Please don’t get me wrong, some trends are cute and rockable. Others are hideous. And some, no matter how high or low on the fly scale, are so ubiquitous, they make me want to vomit. Case in point…

These jeans:

Ironically enough, I don’t mind this over-ripped style on white jeans, which was introduced in Spring 08.

These shoes:

They’re not cute. Just stop.

These shades:

Just put them away. You’re not cool because you wear these!

…had to get that out. A-hem! Now in other news…

I’ve recently been going through hours upon hours upon hours of footage from a documentary I began back in 2005. I took a two-year hiatus from this project (during which time I launched a youth film workshop center ((Lesedi)) and directed/produced a documentary film on survivors of domestic violence ((Strength of a Woman)), among other things) and now, I’m back! This film is my baby. I’m reluctant to go into too much detail about the project at this time, but I will give you a hint: it’s got many facets….

I’m Going.

I’ve been sick lately. Bed-ridden. Today I began peeling away the crust that formed over me. I emerged by creating an afternoon from-the-bed video diary complete with lighting and well composed shots [a tricky tilt, a wide shot and a medium close up...can't get too close on sick-face].

And I just got a call from my good friend Nsenga inviting me to accompany her to an adventurous 24 hour exhibition at the Guggenheim.

theanyspacewhatever is what its called. artists, philosophers, filmmakers, etc all musing on the concept of time. [sigh] an installation near and dear to my heart, and like most of my favorite art, right on time. (really, no pun intended)

i’ll take BB pics and let you know how it is…
