Just outside USC’s Leavey Library:

I like the springtime colors, even if it is a trash can.

This was one of my last days at USC. I was getting a soda when I noticed there were people in the giant reflection pool in front of the library.

The giant reflection pool was, at times, a bit like a watering hole; a spot to rest, and watch, and often, socialize.

So here are people playing in it:

Those’re some big balls.

There are in life certain moments that last through memory and time to become forever, or as close to as we ever achieve, anyway.

This is one of mine:

I may visit USC again, but I’ll never see it like this for the last time.

Quite a while ago, I had an idea for a movie: a new adaptation of Macbeth, shot period, complete with Scottish castle and countryside, and starring the likes of Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Ewan Macgregor, and Anthony Hopkins. A big-budget spectacle of murder, politics, and mayhem.

I think it’d be awesome.

I wrote a script while at USC, or most of one, at any rate, and in order to do so, I made the following short video. Cobbled together and amateur, of course, but still kinda fun. It helped me wrap my head around the project.

So I thought I’d share it:

As seen on a parking lot floor.

A few from the archives:

These’ll be the last in this series; I’ve got no other pictures of the fountain.

It’s a rather unremarkable fountain, now I think of it. What really counts is how you see it.

I’ve often thought that understanding of quantum mechanics (not to mention the universe) is a matter of perspective; we’re too big to really observe an atom, too small to see the universe (except in increments of, what, a few hundred yards, at best?). Point is, I realized my previous labels were off; those weren’t pictures of fountains so much as pictures of fountain water.

These are pictures of a fountain:

And just to prove it’s the same fountain:

Interesting to note it’s the first time you’ve really seen it, isn’t it?
