Video by Jörg

My friend Joerg M Colberg of Conscientious has been making these really clever and funny videos as of late. His most recent one is about trying to write an artist statement. Joerg is both dry and subversive in these short clips - and I think they are fantastic and refreshing. Have a look.

Hiking

This summer I hiked to the top of the highest peak in New York State, Mt. Marcy at 5344 feet high. The hike was a fifteen mile round trip and over 4000 ft in elevation gain. It pretty well kicked my butt, especially on the way back down. For me there is a great pleasure derived from setting out with a destination point as your goal and then actually achieving it. Not to mention the stunning views, sublime vistas, and proximity to wildlife. Some of the most notable hikes I've ever done are; Half-Dome at Yosemite, Angels Landing at Zion National Park, The Kalalau Trail in Kauai, Hawaii, South Kaibab Trail, Grand Canyon National Park, Mt. Scott at Crater Lake National Park, Cadillac Mountain at Acadia National Park, and Mt. Equinox in Vermont.

Burning Man 2011

Wishing I was there this week, I combed the web looking for photos from the past few days. Here are a couple magical scenes that I happened to come across.

To see some more photos from this years Burning Man look here and here.

There also is an interesting piece in the NY Times about Rod Garrett, who was creator of the concentric circle plan for Black Rock City. He passed away last week.
