Somethin’ New From Chemistry
Invented by Finnish designer and architect Samuli Naamanka, Graphic Concrete is a process with which textures, patterns, typography, images, or works of art can be “printed” on concrete surfaces, producing subtle and dramatic results. Currently, Graphic Concrete is being used mostly in Europe, but hopefully I’ll get a chance to add a project to the Google map.

Muni Don’t Take My Kodachrome
Since September 11, photographers have been stopped, harassed, and intimidated into handing over their personal property simply because they were photographing subjects that made other people uncomfortable, such as ship locks, trains, buildings, bridges, and bus stations. If you live in the United States, here’s a guide to print and carry with you: The Legal Handbook for Photographers. British photographers should carry The UK Photographer’s Rights Guide, since photography is slowly becoming illegal in the United Kingdom.
With that in mind (and with advice from my lawyer), I’ve designed these entirely fictitious Photographer’s Licenses.
This license is intended as art and political commentary in that one does not need a license to take photographs. This license is not an official government-issued document, nor is it intended as an imitation of an official government document, and it should not be used as such. The author expressly disclaims all liability for any use to which this artwork is put. This license is a work of fiction and is not to be used as official identification or authorization. Know your rights, and please support the American Civil Liberties Union and the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

Far Out And Groovy, Mom!
During the mid-1960s, my mom and dad lived in Berkeley, and they went to a lot of concerts. My mother saved the lithographed and silkscreened concert posters and handbills, and she loaned me her collection so I could scan and preserve them archivally. I’ve been uploading the scans to Flickr. Enjoy!

Lux Quixote
Patrick Marold’s Windmill Project is an installation of light-generating windmills in specific outdoor locations. Each windmill produces a relevant amount of light, essentially digitizing the wind and converting its energy into a responsive visual choreography. Video. (Quicktime)
