I can’t understand why anyone still thinks that this drug is cool. I got the memo that this drug was one to stay away from before I even was a teenager. I remember walking around the east village in the late 80s and early 90s, when people were openly shooting up on the sidewalk. Honestly I don’t see the appeal. It was ruined so many lives and killed so many beautiful and talented people (like my good friend Pandora). Maybe more people need to watch some of these movies again, fast forward to the horrific scenes to get the point assholes.

Here are some of my favorite Films about Drug Addiction:

Requiem For A Dream

Drugstore Cowboy

Sid and Nancy

Easy Rider

Naked Lunch

Trainspotting

Basketball Diaries

Spun

Someone was nice enough to compile this list of the best record covers with boobies and other naked treats.

Thanks for the link Bryan.

Here are some of my favs, but it was really hard to pick.

Thomas Demand, Embassy IV.a, 2007

I loved this film and it stuck to me like a great book.

A bicycle burns on an evacuated property near Del Dios Highway in San Diego,
California, on October 23, 2007. Wildfires stoked by fierce winds burned unchecked
across Southern California for a third day on Tuesday, with more than 500,000
people evacuated in San Diego alone.

Robin Williams Live on Broadway might just be on of the funniest DVDs I have ever seen!

If you are photographer you are probably familiar with Newton’s rings. I never thought I would hate rainbows but I do when they appear in my work. Newton’s rings are these evil thumb-print like rings that magically ruin an image. I thought that they would disappear once I turned digital, but oh no, they are still there! #%^*

I even bought the anti-newton glass, but that only works half the time. Grrrrr

Newton’s rings

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The phenomenon of Newton’s rings, named after Isaac Newton, is an interference pattern caused by the reflection of light between two surfaces – a spherical surface and an adjacent flat surface. When viewed with a monochromatic light it appears as a series of concentric, alternating light and dark rings centered at the point of contact between the two surfaces. When viewed with white light, it forms a concentric ring pattern of rainbow colors because the different wavelengths of light interfere at different thicknesses of the air layer between the surfaces. The light rings are caused by constructive interference between the light rays reflected from both surfaces, while the dark rings are caused by destructive interference. Also, the outer rings are spaced more closely than the inner ones. Moving outwards from one dark ring to the next, for example, increases the path difference by the same amount λ, corresponding to the same increase of thickness of the air layer λ/2. Since the slope of the lens surface increases outwards, separation of the rings gets smaller for the outer rings.

Life is beautiful when you are grumpy and soaking wet from the rain, and you walk into a movie theater with two hours to kill and no movie on your agenda, and a stranger (who happens write books about Angels) hands you a free movie ticket, and that beautiful movie lifts your spirits and give back all the doubt you might have had about life and love and art only two hours ago.
