Stan Wood: Reality is not something he does

newberry — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 04:30:32 +0000

This video clip was meant to be a video test, but Stan was on a roll so I thought I’d cut together a wee short. You might remember Stan from such blog posts as this one (second pic down) where he impersonates Yoko Ono.

Zombie Bride at Thriller Zombie Walk

Last weekend Martians ran amok in Union Park. Last night in Wicker Park, undead Michael Jackson fans rose up and reenacted John Landis’ Thriller video and then stumbled south, taking over Damen Avenue, and continued east on Division, then back north on Ashland, all the while writhing ecstatically to the dead pop-king’s infectious tunes, which blared from a boombox-appointed hotrod bicycle. What’s next, Malayan sun bears in Lincoln Park? More pictures and video on the way…

time-lapse from my front door

Yesterday I took 1,115 photographs from right outside my studio door. Here they are at 60 frames per second. (UPDATE: I’ve changed the Youtube link to point to a newer, 18% more fabulous version of the time-lapse video. The new version is higher resolution, with panning and zooming, and I obliterated the dust parasite that had invaded my camera’s sensor.)

You can view the winning entries from Field & Stream’s Bigfoot “trail cam” photo contest here. The photographs reveal fascinating and heretofore unknown aspects of the elusive and furry humanoid’s behavior. Here are a couple inspired shots by Greeley Colorado’s Erik Stenbakken–the top photo is the contest winner.
