Last night at around 7:15pm in Honolulu, Hawaii there was a Lantern Floating Ceremony held at Alamona Beach park. About 34,000 people attended the event. For those not familiar with lantern floatings, it's an old tradition from Japan where the names of ancestors and those who pasted away are written on lanterns, then set afloat on a body of water. The purpose of this is to send a prayer to the deceased hoping for their happiness, where ever they might be.

I just finished a portfolio site for a hair & makeup artist. The design is an organized chaos. I used flash and action scripting inspired by guru, Joshua Davis, to create the animations and organic movements. However I think my favorite part has to be the info section. After a photo shoot, Michiel took a bunch of photos doing signature 80's model poses. I think they're fucking awesome and at the same time hysterical! You can see the entire site here.
Recently an energy drink called Cocaine was pulled from the shelves because the FDA said that the company was illegally marketing the drink. See full story. Whenever a new product comes out it's success or failure usually depends on how creatively it is being marketed. In the case of Cocaine, the marketing was it's downfall, along with a little shove from the FDA. I'm willing to bet that most people after seeing Cocaine on the shelves, weren't convinced that it actually contained cocaine, which it does not. But apparently the FDA believes there is some direct correlation between drinking a beverage named Cocaine and the promoting use of an illegal narcotic. Some may argue that this may be crossing the lines of the First Amendment, but whatever... A friend of mine just came back from china and sent me a few photos of oddly named/marketed drinks. Sadly, I don't think any of these drinks will ever make it on the shelves in the States.
I took these 2 photos of my shoes, and are submitting them for a little photo show at the county fair. I can only use 1 image, but can't decide. I feel the bottom photo is more dynamic with the crazy laces and all, but the top photo has make me feel at ease... hmmmm, fart.
