Sai Kung takes II

Lei giu bat yei men  with better tones
like What is your name?

Wake up, open the door. Wake up
step out the building like
Elvis?

Dai tow like Big head
From bedroom to living room. Stop
Go out, take a moment, look around. Isn't that
Sai Kung below?

In a small town in Warsh
ington, two hopeful and optimistic
hippy parents lick stickers, find letters
Spell a most beautiful name.

Washing machines are for making water grey.
Grey water is for making plants grow.
From surfing on Wednesdays to commutes
The minibus today was late, it took a while
We eventually passed another, front steaming hiss
This: the numbers game I’d like to win.

Looking at Mii, where were Wii? Product placement, right?
Hoo dat? DAT sound surround, right?
Grab Mii by the head, shake Mii till I'm red -- -- -- read
Myself on GoWorld after I wrote it almost 2 years ago--
Shake Mii till I'm red, dead and tickle Mii Elmo until I cry.

Why? Because I was reminded power distance
power                                          distance
(like Wii in Hong Kong)
                  powerdistance
(like Wii in Jerusalem
                            as all
                                        goes
to shit.)

In the meantime, read. Read it. Read read read it
as all
           goes
                                        to shit.

To Shit. "As all," Hii said, "as all Hii wrote that all
                                           goes
to shit."

The inevitable hypocrisy of life, because sooner or later, the ducks begin to walk out of line.

Chris Rock: They were able to find Saddam Hussain in another country, hiding in a hole in the ground, but they can't find who killed Tupac, and he was shot in Vegas, on the strip, after the Tyson fight. He got shot in Vegas!

Interviewer leading the Global Warming Consortium - China Operations: Yes, but shark fin soup tastes so good!

From the MoneyTalks.com Web Site: Would you eat that pizza, after he rubs it all over his balls, for $200?

Ran: QUACK!

You ain't seen nuthin like it

I awoke to the sound of thunder, it must have been around 3:00. For hours, for hours, for hours.

I got out of bed at 6:00 to lightening cracks, the room alight, LMD's warmth to my left, eyes groggy and checking out the rain.

I looked out the window and saw inches of rain down the street--BADABOOM
I looked out the window and saw feet of rain

Memories of Weligamma, the brown silty torrents, adrenaline and heart pumping--BADABOOM

What about the car, I wondered, then, peeking out through the branches

THE CAR! THE STREET! THE TREES!
BADABOOM

The view from my front door...

The view from my back door, onto the street

Dsc00992
The Green Pea! Our car smashing into a neighbour's...

Product Placement - Shoot it RAW

Approaching this as an advertising vehicle is a mistake. Look at the best shows on air at the moment (The Naked Chef, No Reservations, Don’t Tell My Mother…). No obvious/subtle product placement. A photographer making a photo inherently advertises the camera, much more obviously than showing what knives Jamie Oliver uses or what airline Anthony Bourdain just used. They don’t do it. If this is going to be one big commercial how can hackles not be raised? Brands aren’t created by ads. It has to be compelling, or it’s toast.

Is it the tide?

Yesterday. Yesterday seems so far away. That was when I went over to say, hey hey hey... I have 48 hours.

Here is the synopsis:

I land in a new place and I have 48 hours to get the iconic image of that city. I meet celebrities, politicians,  taxi drivers, shop owners and the like, and they tell me where to go, or they show me what they think is the best  image of that place. I have 48 hours.

Possible show titles:

Snap Shots
Through My Eyes

Can you suggest anything else?
