"thank you" in 400+ languages!

See to believe here. Languages include dialects, slang, dead languages, etc. Some of my favorite languages included here are Inuktitut (Taikkuu), Gaelic (Go raibh maith 'ad), and Latvian (Paldies). The website also offers other standard greetings in these languages, such has "Hello," "Good Morning," and "My name is." Totally rad.

the thank you club zine issue #2!

hooray! i've improved the first version of the thank you club zine and made the second issue. and i've scanned it into the computer so that everyone can download and print their own copy to read and re-distribute.

all thank you club zines are copyleft, so feel free to reproduce and redistribute as much as you want as long as you don't charge for it. the thank you club zine MUST be free!

assembly instructions:

1. download file(s) and use a program that allows you to edit the margins of the page. this is to ensure proper page alignment. the margins must be even on all sides. i would recommend 0.5" margins. i'm pretty sure this can be done in Word.

2. print the first page (the one with the whale on it.) then re-insert into the printer to print the second page on the reverse side. this might take a few tries to figure out. if the printer can print duplex, you can use that to simplify the process.

3. fold in half hamburger style. cut or tear along this fold. use the page numbers to help you figure out how to put the pieces together. fold the two pieces in half again hamburger style. the whale should be on the cover, and you've got your zine!

jump365: jumpology

philippe halsman created a series of photographs of influential people in 1959. his photographs are a kind of study of people with their guard let down- halsman calls it jumpology.

"in a jump the subject, in a sudden burst of energy, overcomes gravity. he cannot simultaneously control his extpressions, his facial and his limb muscles. the mask falls. the real self becomes visible...deep underneath people wanted to jump and considered jumping fun."

the jump project for me has become more than a way to lift my spirits and increase my energy- it is a way for me to study myself at a peak of realness. although i do edit which shots i include in my project, i don't think that this takes away from the honesty caught by the camera at the moment of my jump. the same goes for the people with whom i jump. i love seeing their expressions and their intense concentration (or complete joy.) i find myself asking certain people to jump with me because i want to see them in this state- to see how they will react. the results are surprising, but above all it helps me truly understand the person more.
