Today, on the occasion of Ivi’s 18th, I came upon an early Polaroid, dating back to her very second day (sorry, tried to find the authentic first day, but not yet) …

Calculus, Documented
Upon hearing considerable laughter at a late hour last night, I came upon this scene. But I was shown that Nik and Ivi were simply comparing Nik’s college-level calculus with Ivi’s high school variant last night. Please forgive the handheld one second exposure, but documentation of actual study time doesn’t happen every day.
Man In A Blizzard
Here is an utterly remarkable short film made on December 26 — and astonishingly completed by the next day — of the recent New York City blizzard. Watch it here, but don’t miss the back story on Roger Ebert’s blog.
Casualties of the Blizzard
Today, while walking to work in near-blizzard conditions in the very early morning, I noticed that the high winds were doing their work on a neighbor’s inflatable Christmas lawn decor.

So, anyway, this morning Ivi showed up with a couple of her friends and they — no boys allowed for a while — proceeded to cover Ivi in a layer of saran wrap followed by a layer or more of duct tape. The outcome was a sort of armature or dress dummy (dubbed Viola) to be used in Ivi’s project to design and fabricate her own prom dress from recycled whatever. More project documentation:
More documentation may emerge over the life of the project.
Walking, Pointing and Shooting
Several years ago, the Company provided me with a then-used 4mpx HP Photosmart point-n-shoot that I carry almost always when walking to and from work. From time to time, its limited memory card capacity becomes filled and I need to clean it out. Here are some snapshots from the latest batch, taken in the past two or three weeks, mostly along Fourth Street.
