Obliterate the term 'Black Film'
Often I listen to kcrw/npr for their music or actual news (news beyond the local thief, a botched election, or selective news about the 'world'). Today's NPR program #Morning Edition inspired me to continue the dialog on this subject. Please listen to, and or read the following, then feel free to leave your commentary following. http://www.npr.org/blogs/codeswitch/2014/11/14/363793023/director-gina-prince-bythewood-its-time-to-obliterate-the-term-black-film

Fathers featured in Laundry detergent commercial...(it's ABOUT TIME)
FINALLY! I have now seen 3 tv commercials for a Laundry detergent featuring a father (no Mom in the commercial). Though, the 1st one (from Tide) to me somewhat groundbreaking (about time), they definitely focus on the fact he is a Father rather than just allowing that to be the norm. they stress the fact HE can do the same things as 'she' (aka Mom). I'm not sure I like the fact they are calling it 'Dad Mom'. why not just simply, Dad. This is still subconsciously stating it's a 'woman's job' but a Man can also do it etc. The other two commercials, on the other hand seem a bit more well rounded. Not focusing on the fact he is a man, but instead he just happens to be taking care of his kids (just like the 'mom' commercials of the last oh let's say 55+ years? ....
unfortunately I could only find links to the 'Dad MOm' version and at least oneo f the other versions but not the one I most recently saw while watching World cup 'pre-game' commentary. If any of you can find that commercial please feel free to reply with a link to this post.

visual 'tricks'. #ogilvy, #cocacola
If some of you have seen my website, there is a section on 'Cinemagraphs' alongside the conventional photography portfolios. These are dressed up animated .gifs to combine the moving image with the still. Ogilvy (for a recent CocaCola campaign) has gone steps further with their optical illusion imagery in use of negative space. See below (the leaves appear to be moving, yet they are actuallyhttp://designtaxi.com/news/366383/Coca-Cola-Unveils-New-Negative-Space-Ads-Will-Trick-Your-Eyes/ still).

Animal Selfies? #NationalGeographic
to Promote the catalog of National geographics images of animals, they have released a campaign featuring 'animal selfies'. If you recall a little while back (I think it was last year, there were images trending on the net of monkeys taking self portraits with a photographer's camera. There is still speculation as to the authenticity of those (monkey) photos but you have to admit they sure were entertaining...
