Chrome CSS3 bug
My main content container (I’m sure the same would apply on the body, or maybe another div that takes up the majority of the screen) had an inset box-shadow applied to it, to give the feel of a subtle radial gradient. This resulted in some major performance issues; jQuery transitions and scrolling on the page was choppy and slow. Even form input was delayed about half a second. Right when I took the inset shadow off, everything worked fine (only took me 2 hours of javascript debugging, minifying and validation to figure out that this was the problem, nbd…).
Again, this is a Chrome specific issue - Firefox, Safari, even IE worked perfectly fine. Hopefully the Google folks are looking into this and the issue will be resolved soon!

I actually love long plane rides. Not sitting around in airports though.

Angie Hiesl creates installations using Senior citizens who are perched on white chairs bolted to the façades of buildings, 20 feet or so up from the ground. They perform uneventful tasks such as reading the paper, knitting, and folding laundry, unfazed by the surprised passers-by staring up at them.

Remembering Strangers (2010)
I grew up in a crowded urban city, constantly surrounded by people whom I don’t know. Our brief encounters through my camera left me with very “surface” impressions of them. An impression projected and constricted by the nanoseconds of exposure. In this project, I want to emphasize this impression. These strangers were photographed in various cities such as Mumbai, Naples, Paris, Shanghai and Tokyo. By reducing their facial details to the absolute minimum, it allows them to remain as strangers in my mind, preserving a truer representation of how they have entered my life and my memories. From these altered images, I know I was once in close proximity to these strangers. Though I’ll never know more about them, I will continue to be intrigued by the beauty of our chance encounters.
I love the concept behind this. It’s funny how isolated one can feel in a crowded city.
