Roscoe, Thailand & Power Lines
1. We've been working hard on some exciting developments in the Roscoe world... should be launching a couple new projects by early July... stay tuned.
2. Planning a return trip to Thailand for a personal project later this summer. If anyone has any contacts in Bangkok, email me. I need helpers, both in planning & execution of this thing. Super excited.
3. Speaking of Thailand... one thing that struck me while walking the streets of Bangkok last year was the sheer amount of power lines running through the city. This certainly isn't exclusive to Thailand, but I enjoyed the simplicity of the lines juxtaposed against the canvas of the clear skies. Even when the lines appear to be a chaotic mess, I found them interesting, in a minimalistic way... Alas, here's a taste of what I'm speaking of. A whole series of these to come whenever I can figure out a more appropriate way to share them.

Tokyo's the same way. If you get into some of the sidestreets, the amount of power lines is incredible: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=36769148&id=843747 I was really struck with a sense of the surreal. It was like the long, black nest of some terrible bird. Probably this bird: http://guidesmedia.ign.com/guides/12045/images/zapdos.gif
they look like black paint on canvas. super cool.
Wow Eric. It's a completely different direction for you! Very abstract and minimalist -- beautifully done. Reminds me of the promo piece that Psyop did for MTVHD: http://www.psyop.tv/mtvhd/
really great shots, eric. reminded me of christopher griffith's power tokyo series... http://tinyurl.com/rxxjak
keep up the good work.
