This isnt finished but sometimes you have to step away from a project so that you can come back to it with a fresh perspective (and patience), or in the case of hitRec, let someone else finish it for you. =o) This is the "How", perhaps one day I will get around to the "Why"

This was a fun project to work on. I shot some footage with some friends of mine, not really knowing what would become of it. It wasnt until we got into editing that a story started to shape itself. After I finished the video I sent it off to a buddy and he wrote and read a poem to go along with the video. I like how it turned out.
Poem was written by Dustin Whitehead. I would also like to give a shout out to PASIV for the music. (Which is awesome and resourced below)

My favorite shot from a recent photo shoot. I love the juxtaposition of the frigid background of cold and solitude and the warm glow of the girl in the foreground.

So I shot and edited around the missmurder situation, all is fixed albeit a bit sloppily. Thank you guys for keeping at this thing, lets see how many we can rack up before Fall Formal.

Im not going to edit and render a separate version of the last toss so just know that toss 25 is Chess Piece - Wall of Water =o) Have fun!

She'll break your heart but she'll mend it too.
She might just make a man out of you.
Mean streets fueled by hypnotic beats
Just meet then into stranger's sheets?
Its a city of swimmers, fighters, and winners
A city of losers, quitters, and sinners.
"Turbulent twists of temper," you say?
Maybe... but I wouldn't have her any other way.

An elderly couple shares an ice cream cone one summer day in the park. Lets face it, she eats ice cream and he sits beside her. He always sits beside her. He talks to her even though there is little that hasn't already been said. And he listens, oh how he listens. He listens as he has always listened. The ring on his finger has been there for longer than many of the buildings behind them. Watching the city grow up as they help to raise their baby's babies. Love begins, but who says it has to end?

I came up with this idea because I was looking for a way to interact with the rest of you guys in a more tangible way. So I thought, why not play catch? I toss an object offscreen, you catch it. You choose another object and you toss it to someone else. Then we can cut and paste it together and incorporate other pieces from the community be it music or text or whatever.

Rule 1: No unique items. But no need to make it too easy.
Rule 2: Keep it safe.
Rule 3: Catch the previous item in the direction it was thrown to you.
Rule 4: You can't repeat an item.

This might be dumb but it could turn out kinda cool. Fingers crossed. lol

Trash
One man's trash is another man's treasure. The secret of life could be written on the inside of that Snapple bottle. Probably not, but what if it is? What if you miss out on a piece of enlightenment because you're afraid to get your hands dirty....

Just kidding. It was Snapple fact number #127:

A hummingbird's heart beats 1,400 times a minute.

I was really happy when I got my secret santa because it is someone who's work I have admired and followed since I joined this wonderful place. I decided to gift her a remix of her work because here at hitrecord Id like to think the most sincere form of flattery is not imitation but re-creation. This is a really great collab and I had a lot of fun working on it. I wish I had more time to work on it but I have to leave town for Xmas.
Best wishes and Happy Holidays Ms Prescott. =o)

I forget sometimes that I live in New York City. Well, not that I live here but just how amazing this city is. When I am reminded it usually hits me in a moment of euphoria over my surroundings. This photo, and the few hundred that accompanied it, is the result of a day spent falling in love with this city all over again.

This is the result of a day taking pictures in the city.


The top picture is an amazing graffiti place in Long Island City called 5 Pointz.


The second is at the Highline, an old aboveground subway track in Chelsea that is now a park.


The last is out by the Piers on the water.

Independence Day in New York City 2011. Watching the fireworks through the long barrel of a lens was a wholy different experiance than watching them as a casual observer. Trying to find focus in between brilliant flashes of light and the dark abyss of starless night. 


This shot reminds me of something you would see through a telescope. Perhaps this is that moment just after the Big Bang. If you look closely maybe you can see the God Particle that scienctists are so eager to find.


If you want to see more of the photos I took last night I put some up here : http://fredwatford.zenfolio.com/p601406684/slideshow

This is something that has been on my mind a lot lately. It is a subject that I think hitRecord should tackle. Quite a few people have been arrested and many more have been threatened for RECording. A camera's memory of events is perfect, not subject to bias or intimidation.

Also, digging the new uploader/layout.

There has been a series of awesomeness regarding this record that I hope to do just a bit of justice to. MixedTapes wrote a very clever tiny story to which Jay-9 came along and drew a wonderful illustration that perfectly personafied it. Madisen then laid out of haunting and beautiful arrangement of the story. This chain of events is what I love about this damn place.

If someone would like to do a different reading Ive included the text below.


 


The first time I had this dream it was a nightmare


Dark and terrifying, full of unseen danger.


As time went by and the dream stayed with me, the darkness receded


and I began to look forward to returning to the Eden that had become my dreams


The dream is the same that it has always been.


It is the dreamer that has changed.


<3
