“Cage” - Sallie Ford
Sallie Ford has always loved old vintage marionettes. So when she put out her album Dirty Radio, her father, puppeteer Hobey Ford created this puppet music video. The composite video was shot by Shane Peters with a Canon D-7D against a blue screen. The puppets were each shot individually to get the movements perfect then composited in Final Cut. Dave Bragg and Sabrina Hilario of Flying Pig Studios in Asheville did the final editing.
My love for this sweet little girl is endless. Endless.

“The Descriptive Camera works a lot like a regular camera—point it at subject and press the shutter button to capture the scene. However, instead of producing an image, this prototype outputs a text description of the scene.” (via Descriptive Camera)
The poet, the photographer and the technology geek inside me are doing a little happy dance in my head. Together.

Outer Space by Sander van den Berg
Using only original footage from NASA, Sander van den Berg put together sequences of images from the Cassini and Voyager missions to make a true galactic wonder. It may just take your breath away.
“
Every single thing becomes a word
in a language that Someone or Something, night and day,
writes down in a never-ending scribble,
which is the history of the world, embracing
Rome, Carthage, you, me, everyone,
my life, which I do not understand, this anguish
of being enigma, accident, and puzzle,
and all the discordant languages of Babel.
Behind each name lies that which has no name.
Today I feel its nameless shadow tremble
in the blue clarity of the compass needle,
whose rule extends as far as the far seas,
something like a clock glimpsed in a dream
or a bird that stirs suddenly in its sleep.
— Jorge Luis Borges. Compass. (via seeyoulateraggregator)
Love exists because it takes more than one person to make it through one life.

On this date in 1902 James C. Penney (aka J.C. Penney) opened his first store in Kemmerer, Wyoming. Today “The Mother Store” of the 1,106 department store chain is a national historic landmark along with Penney’s small house, where he lived from 1902-1909. Today these buildings are open for tours as part of the JC Penney Museum. His middle name was Cash, which was appropriate because in the 1920s he was making millions of dollars a year, a lot of money in those days. But then the Stock Market crashed in 1929 Mr. Cash Penney lost all his personal wealth, and leaving him a little stressed so he checked himself into the Battle Creek Sanitarium. Penney became a born-again Christian and left the daily management of his company to others. In 1940, during a visit to a store in Des Moines, he trained a young Sam Walton on how to wrap packages with a minimal amount of ribbon. Obviously that left it impact, I mean, Walmart stores are definitely known for cutting costs, especially ribbons. When Cash Penney died in 1975 at age 95, there were nearly 2,000 stores bearing his name. Not too shabby. Especially when you find out there is ANOTHER JC Penney Museum in Hamilton, Missouri, his birthplace.
