By Sam L. Richards | Published: June 19, 2011
I’ve added some electro-acoustic music to my music page, which was previously absent for no good reason. No good reason at all: Organic Gestures: Out of An Echo, Humming, and From the Porch.

Tall movies (and other dimensions too!)

By Sam L. Richards | Published: May 4, 2009
I think most of us have experienced the frustration of shooting a film, and then, considering our familiarity with still cameras, try to turn the video camera on its side to change the orientation to a “portrait.” Alas. As we all know, that never works, and if we don’t catch ourselves before we get too [...]
