This tribe used to be very active and has really slowed to a crawl.
I actually began to shoot toy video and toy digital because I stumbled on it
and now I'm really active with toy webcam and toy video animations of my
abstract electronica tunes.

So, what's everybody up to these days?

I, myself, know of a small leaveless tree with short branches in a parking lot
in Watsonville where a whole host of Crows hang out. They look incredibly stark
against the leaveless tree branches and, in particularly, against a dark rainy cloudy sky.

I'm hoping I get another free day with weather like that before the tree busts out with new
leaves (as it will soon). I want to drive there and take still shots and also do a
long, tripod held shot of from beneath the tree so that I can have a stark loop to play
against at the Boise Experimental Music Festival that I'm headlining in April.

I'm also planning on buying a bunch of relatively inexpensive black fabric and grommeting
it to three poles so that I can quickly turn my recording studio into a modest photographic
studio as well. I have a lot of UV lighting and toy lighting device ideas for videos for my
next CD.

That's it for me. I look forward to hearing what you are all up to.
Here's some of my work at www.youtube.com/looppool I did the music as well.

  • Hey Rick:

    Thanks for posting someting to get us started. And thanks for the update on your activities. It's been SO frickin firgid up here in the Great White North -- and the light so limited -- I haven't been shooting much. Did shoot a few things with the Aiptek you got me and just posted 4 of them in the tribe album. Looking forward to the warmer weather and better light to do some more pencam shooting -- especially want to shoot some videos.
