Perceval Press & Viggo Mortensen

Once in a while I like to find things on the Internet that are unique. Today, it is Perceval Press - a publisher owned and operated (well, okay, maybe not operated 100%) by Viggo Mortensen.

I was just checking out their catalogue and it is fairly amazing. A photography book by Dennis Hopper is coming down the pipe this year too. According to the site:

Bucharest Nights
Dennis Hopper

Famous for his edgy acting roles (including Blue Velvet) as well as his directorial projects (like the counterculture classic Easy Rider), Dennis Hopper has also been a member of the Los Angeles arts scene for five decades, creating highly regarded paintings, sculptures, and photographs. Hopper embraced digital photography early, and Bucharest Nights showcases the best of his work in that format. Here is the city at night, painted in dark hues, the urban demimonde in all its grim glory. With the same kind of restless energy he brings to his film roles, Hopper pries into places, people, and moments others might pass up for lack of native curiosity. In a headlong pursuit of the essential and the evocative, this vibrant series of images captures specific places and times with a fearlessness and keenness of eye that is the hallmark of his work.

The things people do when they are multi-talented. I love it!

podcasting

What else do I do? I talk out loud, record it, and post it on line. I chatter about all kinds of things. Some of the things are nerdy, some professional, and some of them are very much NSFW. Why? Because do them for myself and my non-work life. You can be the judge.
