I can hear chants and incantations
And some guy is mentioning me in his prayers
Well, I don’t know what it is
But there’s definitely something going on upstairs

I’m not sure why, but I was thinking of ICBMs. The idea that we can sit on one side of the earth and wipe out the other side with little more than the press of a button. In a way Antarctica is under assault from over the horizon. While we at home debate whether a cool summer says anything about global warming, it’s raining on the Antarctic Peninsula. In the often elusive battle of climate change, the earth’s poles are undoubtedly ground zero. Terra Antarctica examines the tell-tale silhouettes burned into the ice. And that’s just one part of the story…

I’m pleased to once again have a chance to chat with Bryan Smith about his up-coming visit to Canoecopia this weekend and the forthcoming release of his new DVD, “Eastern Horizons”.

Justine Curgenven is just about ready to head back to the states to begin the US leg of the premiere tour for This Is The Sea 4. (I’ll come join you in Chicago, btw.) The premiere parties are going to be lots of fun and more people than we can count will be taking home their copy of T4. Of course with the release of any new DVD, it’s also time to write a review. Now I confess that I’m totally in the bag for Justine and her work. What’s more I have worked with Justine for some time now on the web and off, including doing the cover art for the last two videos. I’m biased. You’d think that would be a good thing wouldn’t you!? Continue reading
