like or love.  at the present love is a strong word that i think should be reserved for a time where it is reciprocated...and that is just where i want to start.  like.

rewind to I think three years ago.  my crush began at some point in 2006, i suppose.  when i was on my way to handle regular afternoon tasks during my longest open spot in my schedule, i was walking down the hall and there he was.  my heart just gave one big thud in my chest like a runner who took off from the finish line and began to sprint headlong.  my stomach flipped and just as he turned his gaze in my direction, i realized i'd slowed my walking pace and I'm gawking at this guy.  *snap*  I come out of my trance, stole another glance by respectfully saying, "hello" as i passed him by.  he cooly replied in kind and i went about my way.  i shook it off then, but following that day i would fumble and screw up my words around him and always seemingly feel light-headed around him.  looking him in his eyes was dangerous because i thought i'd fall in them.  yes, i liked him and still do to this day.   in hindsight i continually denied the fact up until i recently shared my feelings with him.

...i was in denial that i had a crush on him for basically 3 years.

this is my confession.

This is a snowboard that I created and only contains images from the Coldplay concert I saw last night at All Points West. I took well over 50-60 images with my iPhone. To get crazy blurry style images I faced my iPhone towards bright lights and moved my arm a little while taking a picture. This is a good way to come up with original images/art. My friend Melfi has several videos of the Coldplay concert. Specifically the "Lovers in Japan" where they released a lot of paper butterflies and we happened to be right underneath all of them. This was amazing being underneath all of the falling butterflies, it seemed like it was never going to end. Some of these layers are of those butterflies, the stage lights, and random lights in the crowd.

Software Used:
Adobe Photoshop CS4
Adobe After Effects CS4

So here is a video of each layer of the snowboard, one image at a time.

Let me know what you think. :)

What is it about butterflies, that draws out our sense of wonder?

Why does the child in us run free, seeing their sun-filled existence?

 

Dancing in the breeze, why do they evoke a sense of light-hearted freedom,

Of living in the now, that few other experiences allow.

 

Could we live with butterflies dancing in our heart,

Knowing life’s brevity is matched by the vibrant colours of our existence

It took me a few listens to get into this, but I totally dig it now. 

Herman Düne.  With an umlaut. 

It's totally ridiculous. 

I love the angels. 

And the bugs breaking out of the cocoon metaphor.  Because when I think cocoons, I don't think bugs.  I think butterflies.  Which I guess are bugs.  If all insects are bugs.  Which they probably are.  For most people anyway.  I'm pretty sure the word bug is far enough removed from science that we're all allowed to define it however best suits our imaginations.  Including or excluding butterflies.  I usually exclude.  Bugs are beetles and flies (and maybe mosquitos).  But some beetles break out of cocoons too.  Not as famously as butterflies, of course.  But still.  They break out.  And, thus, the metaphor is definition variation proof.  Excellent.
