Mini-Assignment 2: Things in Common
Reading everyone’s introductions, I’ve noticed that we have some things in common. The love of traveling, music and great films are amongst the many that stand out.
Traveling. This is kind of a double-feature since traveling and phtotgraphy go hand in hand. I’ve been addicted to Trey Ratcliff’s travel blog for quite a while now. He takes amazing HDR photos during his travels to places like China and New Zealand. Stuck In Customs is a great blog to follow if you want to see great travel photos made even better in HDR.
This is for Merrin, Jon and Alex.
Music. I love music and one of my favorite pastimes is searching for new music.
Thomas, I read that you like The Decemberists so I’m assuming you’re just as excited as I am to get The King is Dead. Another album that’s released tomorrow is Cape Dory by Tennis. I think you would like them, so this link is for you.
Films. I love great movies, especially those ones that make you laugh and sob. Jocelyn, here are a few of my favorite movie that you can enjoy once you have some free time.
1. The Darjeeling Limited(or any other film directed by Wes Anderson)
2. Marie Antoinette
3. 500 Days of Summer
That Decemberists album is getting decent buzz. Given my own old fogey tastes I have never given them a proper listen, but today’s 24 Hours compares the sound on the new album to REM and Neil Young. To intriguing to pass up now.
OMG I love “500 days of summer”. Great movie!
