Today was an epic road trip with Jim Groom- we hit Flagstaff, the tacky Flintstone Village at Valle, and then many of the viewpoints of the Grand Canyon out to the east exit, ending with an epic pile of Navajo tacos at Cameron Trading Post. This day was great, so f***ing great (f-word warning for […]
Like a flying cannonball, like a balloon full of bricks, my goal to do a digital story a day for May has flopped mercifully: I’m not going to apologize, that is for weenies. It was a tough pace I was holding, but last week’s travel did me in… and frankly, well nobody cares if I […]
Vcasmo is one of the 50+ Web 2.0 Ways to Tell a Story– it offers a platform to synchronize powerpoint/presentations to video. A typical use is to have video of a speaker linked to their slides, and it works elegantly there. I decided to tale a video I shot of Bryan Alexander at his house […]
For another hurry up and post story, this is an example of the flickr group Tell a Story in Five Frames, where you have to submit to the group discussion a single post with a title and 5 photos that… tell a story. It is in the vein of my Five Card Flickr stories, but […]
I won’t apologize for being a day behind but I am so sorry I am a day behind. This is a tough pace, but certainly no race. Folks, if you think that ds106 is dangerous cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog Here is proof… So here, as a quicky, I used […]

Marlon Brando could have only achieved his heightened performance in On the Waterfront with the help of his film coaches, such as Talking Terry, shown in this historic footage. (this is the Talking Larry iPhone app, a fun little diversion of mimicry; and it can record performances as video, even upload to YouTube). If you […]
Caught Checking In to Morrison Hotel cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog Some of the best creative challenges in the digital story game are ones that limit the things you can do; the creativity is in working in that space. A perfect example is the Six Word Story Group in flickr: […]
I tried as hard as I can to post this yesterday, but the apps and the nets failed. I was sitting there in Washington Square park, and awash in seeing all kinds of human stories play out. There were film students doing a project, tourists being taken in by the card tricksters, breakdancers doing movies, […]
I spent a few hours in the New York Public Library archives, down in the basement, combing through piles of uncatalogued photographs. In one dusty corner was a box marked “Unpublished Bay Watch Set Shots”. Leafing through photos from guest appearances, I was surprised to identify a shot of Bryan Alexander. On the back, notes […]
