great on the challenge.

between the folds is a wonderful documentary, we had it at the 2009 cleveland international film festival.

the ciff is a great time to think of visiting cleveland 10 days of non stop movies. i'll be seeing lots of movies in 2010 at the ciff as i've been screening shorts since sept. a pass is the perk for hours and hours of viewing and reviewing!

a good documentary is a wonderful thing.

Very witty and fresh.

Pix E. said...

Nice work! (running off to get an old photo of my grandparents...) You inspire me!

Coffee Messiah said...

dd: Thanks for taking a look.

kim: I think they're showing it on pbs, at least down in indy on the 10th.
You're lucky to take advantage of it (film fest), to be sure.

artS: Hey, Thanks.

squirrel: Hi ya, long time, no C.

How are you doing?

cafeP: Hi ya......hanging in there.

Titus said...

Oo-er. They seem more foreboding in this than the original, as well as past/present. Weird and good.

Jonny Gray said...

This is really cool. I like the manipulation of the original photograph. Kinda get a Beatles vibe off of that. Very cool. You turned them into Mod ghosts. ;-)

Dominic Rivron said...

Really like it. I've said similar things on other bogs who've taken part, but I keep thinking how we never know what will become of photographs of ourselves (or tunes that we whistle, for that matter)! Eunice and her friend would be astonished if they could see what we've done, and how.

David G said...

Where do you find balance, order, rhythm and harmony in this crazy world, Coffee?

Do you have any pointers that might assist?

Take care.

Coffee Messiah said...

titus & bungy 32: Thanks and 4 stopping by!

dominic: That's a thought, isn't it. Need to ditch the old photos ; )
Thanks 4 stopping by!

david: Ahhh, you know I have no pointers. I'm doing the best I can, with what I was given at birth. Sometimes I wish I had done better ; (

Cheers!

Mary said...

Coffee! I have missed everyone in the blog-o-sphere. Really really hard semester with an intense sculpture teacher who really pushes us to learn. I plan to update on blog as soon as I can. Finals week so I'm especially spent.

I love the paper folding art. Saw a bit on TED last year as part of an assignment. Amazing stuff. Wish I had time to indulge.

Hope all is well!

Coffee Messiah said...

papergirl: Thanks and yes, I happened to catch the Hubbard program this week.

mary: Hey, Thanks for stopping by and glad to hear classes are still going strong! Hope all is well for you and the family!
