Revolution

it all starts with an idea...usually nothing solid...and then it all just starts coming together. REVOLUTION is the joint effort of two artists...three really. You've heard me talk about the Free Speech Art Cafe that I put on at Emory. It was a great success, but one young man stood out. I knew when I heard his piece that he was working with a unique set of skills. I knew that he was hungry and I knew that if I had an opportunity to work with him i'd have to be open to possibilities that i hadn't explored before. the end result is REVOLUTION. the other artist that i'm pleased to have worked with on this project (though from a distance) is gabriel kreps. i stumbled on his music, loved it, contacted him (some nerve i know), and got his blessing to do an interplay with his track. the soundtrack for REVOLUTION is the first track from his album Good Ole Days. the track is titled astral recorder.

Visit http://thewhisperfoundation.com/gabe.html to download this album and other music by this amazing artist for free. Tell him you heard about his music from vision philms.

Over 500 individual photographs were taken during the philming of REVOLUTION. Many of them (like these below) were never used.


other images (like these below) make me proud to be a photographer. Not because of how lucky i got in capturing images like this...trust me it was luck...but because i had to opportunity to give visual expression to such lines as "standing in front of the wishing well of the world and releasing the change of love". Unbelievable writing.
