Quote Of The Day

"We would drink together and smoke together . . . and it's just a bad deal. It's not something that is conducive to being a role model—no iconic actors that I know of have problems like that. And I don't know how to do it like a gentleman. I don't know how to have one drink." - Shia LaBeouf in the September 2008 issue of Details mag, coming out just after his recent arrest for drunk driving.

Have any idea what happened eight years ago today?

eliminate anything that does not belong

the doll

Is it possible to disassociate a photograph from the artist?
Hmmmm, probably not but I will try. I saw this photo in a magazine and was immediately drawn to it.
The article had to do with recent auction prices at Sotheby's... not having to do with the photographer, Hans Bellmer. I googled him and realized that I probably would not like any of his other works, but I am still intrigued by "La Poupée" and plan to explore "the doll"...

It's All Sunny For The Dark Knight (With The Exception Of Christian Bale)

I know I'm not the only one out there who waited in HUGE lines this past weekend to catch the premiere of the amazingly clever and the darker than ever batman movie, The Dark Knight. Obviously not, because the latest in the series broke records in the U.S. with an opening weekend of $155.3 million. And I have a feeling that the number will keep on rising in the weeks to come.

As for batman, now that's a different story. Christian Bale appears to be going through a slightly darker time. The actor is denying allegations, after being arrested, that he assaulted both his mother and sister. Calling the matter "deeply personal," the actor is denying all allegations, cooperating and asking the media to respect his privacy. Bale made his first appearance since the claims were outed with wife Sibi at the movie's premiere in Barcelona.

The Battle Of The Disney Divas

First it was Miley and Mandy.

Next came Demi and Selena.

But Miley and Mandy must feel they have a little competition. Now it's the two M's vs. the new Disney princesses. I feel a little mocking coming on.

Check it out.

EvenTV update - LoveBox Boxed Off



Our latest social media EvenTV went down a treat for advertisers at Oxegen. We are glad to be able to bring 30 second ad packages to the big screens at another big event.

Lovebox Dublin, 23 AUGUST 2008, MARLAY PARK

At the turn of the new millennium, Tom and Andy aka Groove Armada decided that they wanted to develop a winning formula for great parties with that extra special something. Out of a love for the many different types of music that feed into music culture, Lovebox was created with the intent of bringing fresh and extraordinary sounds from a variety of genres, to people's ears and feet. To this day, Lovebox has grown from this humble concept into the capital's most unique and authentic music festival.

Featured artists for Marlay Park include Maximo Park, N*E*R*D, Paolo Nutini, Sam Sparro and many more. Here is a link to the official lovebox website and here is a link to our EvenTV site.

i-site spotlight







These are some of the A1 i-site posters that went out in our last cycle. They are from 2FM and they all go with the shoe theme.

This year I did not make it to Oxegen but fortunately 2fm provided blanket coverage of the festival. I tuned in from home and could sense the brilliance of the occasion. My personal highlight was REM who where on top form for the gig and the atmosphere was electric.

Here is a link to the Official 2fm Oxegen website where you can re-live the occasion.

when things are not what they see

As hard as you may try to control what people see (or don't see) in your photos,they will form an immediate response to the image and often it will not be at all what you intended.

I remember saying once (in this blog) that I usually did not add titles or descriptions to my photos, thus allowing the viewer to form their own opinion.


So, when I posted this image in response to a "Shapes" challenge theme and I described them as NOT cookie cutters (unless you like cookies the size of a dime)... every single comment: "Great cookie cutter shot!"


I should know better.... I shouldn't care.... What do I have against cookie cutters? Because they are trite? Surely I can present triteness in a manner that is interesting, aesthetically pleasing and has some modicum of photographic quality.


The lesson: make photos, put them out there and then let go.


Meanwhile, sofobomo made T.O.P. today!
