Monkey Zoetrope by Peter, Canon Digital Rebel XTi
Mama got her groove back at the Burning Man Decompression party yesterday. It wasn't exactly Burning Man but it was a damn good party. The monkey image above is a piece that I heard about over and over and finally got to see. It was a zoetrope! and the monkeys looked like they were swinging from tree to tree... it was unbelievable. I kept saying, "And they're not really moving?" You can see a short clip of them in motion here.

Posted on October 8, 2007 02:03 PMI am sort of obsessed with the top photo. It just pops with vitality. I keep coming back to it.
If I were more sophisticated about art history, I'd be able to pinpoint the school of painting it evokes. A lot like Picassos harlequins, but also very renaissance fantastical. The light side of Bosch, maybe.
It's awesome, and it makes me want to know more about Rafael.

Posted by: jenn at October 8, 2007 07:47 PMoh, YES. When I read your post about missing Burning Man, and then read Alex's reports of the fabulousness I really felt a pang for you. But here you are, finding a perfect and very clever solution.
Where on earth would me be without dancing.
BTW - I'm packing my bag for a trip to LA, San Diego and NYC in just over a week and I was busy packing all my woolies since it is already minus 8 up here in Ghor... Should I be apcking some summer gear for CA? You look very summery there...
