more throwing

here is some more time lapse footage of me throwing. This time I attempted a spouted pitcher

I am not really happy with the way my spout turned out it kinda sucks leaving the wheel with something you are not terribly proud of. It just reminds me that I have so much to learn when it comes to throwing. As with much of art, things look a lot easier to do than they really are.

trimming and handles will go on tomorrow, stay tuned

here are some pictures of the trimmed pieces I did from my last video

time lapse test

So rad to see a scientist, someones whose profession it is to solve today's problems with tomorrows solutions, endorse bicycle use.

Silver And Light

SILVER & LIGHT from Ian Ruhter on Vimeo.
This project was created with the same spirit that america was founded on. Our intentions are to connect everyone in america through the lens of this camera and social networking sites. We can't do this without you. We want to tell your story and show your city or town through photographs of you, and people you know. As we travel around america looking for people and places to shoot you will be able to keep track of where we are going and help us decide where we go next. Join us in our journey by liking our facebook to get yourself photographed by us.

Rad documentary: cassowary dissection

Watch "Inside Nature's Giants Episode 12/15 The Dinosaur Bird (Channel 4)" on YouTube

Dissected a pigeon in vertebrate zoology lab on Monday and noticed some similar things. This documentary highlights some good points on the similarities between dinosaurs and birds.
I think it is so rad that this show exists to actually show a dissection of some amazing creatures. I look forward to watching more of this program.

The Beauty of Pollination

why science fiction is great

short 3 part documentary that examines the roots and social commentary science fiction gives us.
parts one and two are the best showing that good science fiction is not always about green aliens from mars but instead science fiction provides a backdrop for important and relevant social commentary of moral or cultural issues.
part three is an examination of why star wars fails to provide strong social commentary and is thus a poor example of science fiction and instead a fantasy story.

2012

first post of the new year!
to kick things off I think this video is awesome. I crack up every time I see it.

I love how this kid is just so excited about everything in this video and I think it is great. If only we were as excited as this guy.
Lets make sure 2012 is about finding the excitement and joy in life.
