Pictures from Washington
The Glorious Tacoma Dome.
Bonnie on her old bike, On the way to the graduation.
Then I got bored and started taking pictures of people's faces: Mo, Bon, Mom, Kei.
We went on a hike to some hot springs in Olympic National Park.
Then we saw Canada across the Straight of Juan De Fuca, and then Seattle.

Bushwick Open Studios
This past weekend was the annual Bushwick Open Studios. I mostly just checked out a couple buildings with a bunch of studios in them including my friend Shawn's studio where he filmed Warhol style "screen tests" BUT with a red sci-fi background. In order to do this, he uses a beam splitter and a super reflective screen that is only visible from one angle. This is what they used to use to film in front of a pre-recorded background before 'blue screens'.
Here is a picture of his studio, the projector in the foreground is projecting the pre-recorded background into the beam splitter and the camera behind that is filming the scene with subject and background. Way in the back you can see one of his amazing Star Trek inspired paintings.
The videos should be online later this week and I'll try to post them on the sidebar.
