Halo 28: Hesitation Marks - The Live Collection
To celebrate the one-year anniversary of Nine Inch Nails' remarkably dominant and poignantly haunting eighth studio album, Bona Weiss Media presents: 'Halo 28: Hesitation Marks - The Live Collection'; an unofficial collaboration of live performances served to present the album in it's entirety.
When possible, material was sourced from professional footage of the band's televised and festival performances, and coverage of their 2013/2014 'Tension' tour - namely 'VEVO Presents: Tension' due to it's higher sound quality and the band's overall stellar performance. Excluded from this collection is the album's seventh track: 'Everything', which has yet to see a live rendition.

Aurora Robson: A Practice
'A Practice' was produced to coincide with multi-media artist Aurora Robson's largest exhibition yet: 'Sacrifice + Bliss,' at the Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens in Columbis, Ohio.
Initially inspired by childhood nightmares and a resolution she came to in adulthood: “Why not take a nightmare landscape and make it beautiful?, Aurora transforms discarded materials, excess packaging and junk mail into works of art.
"I like the challenge of working with debris -- it is a totally different experience from that of going to an art supply store and picking out what you want to use to create with. Instead, you are at the mercy of the world around you; in a way you are reflecting life on Earth from the underbelly of the beast." (source)
Edited over the summer of 2012, 'A Practice' features cinematography by Marshall Coles, music by Nicholas Shifrin, and will be playing alongside Aurora's work at the Conservatory through April 28th.

Take Two
I'd like to ask that anyone who is interested in film making take a look at my new blog:
The idea of Take Two is to learn about the profession of film making along with readers. I hope to bring self educators together to collect a diversity of ideas for each subject, which is something that a self-education can benefit from.

A three part project has been added to the FILM section, entitled 'Atmospheres'.
These films were tests in various methods of film-making, such as time manipulation and tracking shots, while capturing a different feel for each piece without the use of dialog. My goal was for each atmosphere to feel other-wordly, or to have a dream like quality.

Alone, But Never Lonesome
In an attempt to capture the voyeuristic nude photography of the 20's and 30's, a lot of research went into this set. At the time, this classic art was considered smut -- and photographers and models had to stay anonymous. This era of underground photography has now become accepted as classic and quite tame by today's standards.It's interesting to think about how 'dangerous' these classics were once considered.
'Alone, But Never Lonesome' is available now under PHOTO|COLLECTIONS.
