Oh, don’t tell me you were doing some marketing on Twitter!
Here’s what productive folks like Julian Oliver are doing over at levelHead. He calls it, “an augmented-reality spatial-memory game.” Stick with the 4-minute video for a few seconds as it starts to become interesting. The whole thing is beyond my groking, but I’ll bet it means a lot in some circles.
Now, back to the topic of Twitter. I’m working on cracking the code. It’s not as simple as it appears to be at first. I am finding many reasons to work on this platform. This morning, I drafted an idea for holding a Social Media Training Ranch. LOL, “How To Rope Them In!” Plus I can work as a SM Editor now.
In the 80s, we took the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Test (I’m an ESTP) and various other career path assessments, one called Natural Depth Management co-founded by my late best friend Kathe Willis. In one of these, my results were Promoter/Promoter/Promoter. I was not happy at the time as I fancied myself as Creative/Artistic/Visionary. This is all to try to put another blog post together so I don’t become rusty. Twitter will do that, 140 characters at a time. (Please follow me @jainlemos!)
Blow-Up, directed by Michelangelo Antonioni
I seem to be doing so much whirling around there hasn’t been time for posting. Everything on my mind seems to be off topic. Here’s what I have:
Last night I watched this amusing movie: Blow-Up. It was new to me. It’s a 1966 classic. You probably have seen it! It’s a boring movie, but I couldn’t really put it down. I liked it a lot!
**Warning: The Wikipedia page linked to above has a spoiler under PLOT.**
I was curious to find out where the location was for the photographer’s studio and if it is still a studio. The page says, “The photographer’s studio was filmed at 49 Princes Place, London W11, which in the decades since has been office and studio space for architectural firms.” I would like to go there if I get to London.
For me, the best part of the move is the performance of The Yardbirds during the period when Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck were both in the band! Priceless. Fortunately, the TCM host alerted us to this factoid before the movie started. I was really getting bored and then I heard Jeff Beck’s guitar before I remembered to be on the lookout for their cameos.
Also fun was trying to calculate how many times Thomas pressed the shutter button out in the park without changing film vs. the 36-frame neg strip he develops. Film Professor Jonathan Dawson wrote this review of the film and gave me a great post title!
Here is an interesting read posted on Thoughts of a Bohemian. “Make me listen with my eyes.” Good one, Melcher! Measuring appearance against perception is a very critical part of evaluating images.
