introducing Ms. Paisley Sky

Friday, August 31st, 2007

The Human Society of the US started a video contest a couple weeks back to help bring attention to the plight of Dog Fighting in the US. Obviously this is a result of the accusations against Michael Vick, which he has now plead guilty to. I really respect the efforts of this video, which made […]

Photography With a Purpose

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

Wednesday, August 15th, 2007

Early today I received an email from the Human Rights Campaign regarding the appointment of Leslie Southwick to the Federal bench by President Bush.

“There are two types of secrets….”

Monday, August 13th, 2007

Check out Frank’s new video for post secret below. It is chilling, touching and thoughtfully constructed. As I’ve mentioned before (a billion times), I find post secret to be an incredibly important social art experiment. I love watching the results and knowing that in many cases people have found real help from reading others’ secrets, […]
