Seth Rogen, Danny McBride, Elijah Wood…

This should be a full length movie. What a great cast.
What a great use of unique film. It shows a different perspective on the meaning of pink. Photographer Richard Mosse used Kodak’s Aerochrome film to capture the conflict in Congo. “Discontinued last year, the film is particularly sensitive to infra-red light, rather than to the usual visible spectrum of colors registered by traditional film. Since foliage reflects infra-red while buildings don’t, the US Army used it during the Vietnam War to detect and reveal hidden soldiers. “I wanted to export this technology to a harder situation, to up-end the generic conventions of calcified mass-media narratives and challenge the way we’re allowed to represent this forgotten conflict,” says Mosse. “I wanted to confront this military reconnaissance technology, to use it reflexively in order to question the ways in which war photography is constructed.”

Forward

I am a mirror
I look into your future
It is full of air


I made cookies to celebrate the first painting I painted this year. I used acrylic on canvas. I shall paint more before this year is over and the world as we know it will be gone forever. Or is that fruitless. Well, just in case the world doesn’t end, I would have made good use of this year. I look forward to painting and making more cookies, with a little help from Martha!

Where am I?
