.. also the collector is held down by 6x 6" stakes, it was tested and it held up indoors and outdoors, fairly well, for the most part, however earlier last month, along the river facing 50+ mph wind gusts, we could barely erect it in the wind, as forces crushed some of the structure, and the lightness of it proved a problem as the collector became more of a kite. I'm working on better bottle structure to test as time and finances allow.

You've got a moving portfolio, I especially like the photograph of your friend who is smoking... so much muted contrast through the surfaces, where the figure and envirnment (room) almost describe each other.
also, the man in the lake (sorry for not having title available as I write) has a perfect sensibility to it, so absurd you have to look at it but really telling like the still-frame that climaxs' drama's end in a movie... I'd love to hear how he ended up in there
best and good night

Ya coming from a windy place (me) I thought you might have some trouble with the shape and materials used for the collector. But its lightness may mean it can be taken indoors when wind threatens? Is it to collect rain or condensation?

As for the man in the lake there are two shots. The wider one Geo was contemplating taking a bath. and the other was after he got the nerve and went in picking his way among the rocks and sticks. The whole time he was talking about Stanley Kubric and how great a director he was. Geo himself is a director so he had alot to say about it... maybe to distract himself from the super cold water. Thank you for the comments :)
