at the Aero this Saturday:
A discussion with director Richard Elfman, actress/production designer Marie Pascale Elfman, and production designer/animator John Muto follows a screening of the color version of Elfman’s great cult classic musical fantasy FORBIDDEN ZONE. Part science fiction, part Western, and part musical, Cory McAbee’s journey through the solar system THE AMERICAN ASTRONAUT completes the double bill.

Will the Kings finally win the Stanley Cup tonight.
Well, because of my schedule I stopped my photo challenge midway through. I have a lot more time on my hands now and will shoot all outstanding photos. It is quite a challenge trying to shot one photo a day but it’s great for way to stimulate one’s creativity.
Who hasn’t dreamed of traveling into outer space. While a lucky few will get the opportunity, there is another option for the rest of us: Space Camp. You may have thought this was just a classic 80s movie starting Lea Thompson and Tate Donavan — but it’s real and open to adults.

Astronaut HQ – Multiaxis simulators give you an out-of-this world feeling at Alabama’s Space Camp, and intensive drills (e.g. scaling a 40-foot climbing wall) prep you to pilot or staff (your choice) a mission. (Self, June 2012)
I’m starting my astronaut fund now. How about you?

Open to the public June 23 – October 7 at The Annenberg Space for Photography
Who Shot Rock & Roll: A Photographic History, 1955 to the Present, organized by the Brooklyn Museum with guest curator and author Gail Buckland, is the first major museum exhibit on rock and roll to spotlight the creative and collaborative role that photographers have played in the history of rock music. This exhibit, which features an original short documentary film produced exclusively for the Annenberg Space for Photography, catches and defines the energy, intoxication, rebellion and magic of rock and roll. It explores the photographs and photographers who captured rock’s message of freedom and personal reinvention – and examines the effect their pictures have had on musicians, fans and culture itself.
