On Friday, I will be presenting at a conference and will be preparing until then. This means I will be AFK (away from keyboard) for the rest of this week and will start posting next Monday.
Enjoy the rest of your week.
On October 19th I published an interview with Stéfan Le Dû about his Stormtroopers 365 project. For a year, he published one photo a day on his Flickr account. By doing so, he and other photographers using a this concept inspired many others to try a similar project.
This week I bring you an interview with Kristina Alexanderson, another photographer who uses Stormtrooper figurines in her photo. Despite the fact that they involve the same characters, her photos are completely different from Le Dû’s and reflect her personal style. Alexanderson started her project in 2011 and still creates photos. The albums CClone 365-2011 and The troopers of 2012 have been viewed tens of thousands of times and her project can be followed by Twitter or Facebook. Alexanderson kindly accepted to answer a few questions about her project for The Geek Anthropologist.
This week’s photo challenge celebrates green since people in the northern hemisphere won’t be seeing much of it for a while. What an understatement: over here, snow will still be melting in May. But I don’t feel like respecting the spirit of the challenge (sorry). Instead, I feel like reflecting a little on the color itself and what it is associated with.
Over the course of your studies, you might reach a point where you are stuck or bored out of your mind. When this happens, you may find that you can’t focus, work efficiently, find motivation to read, work or even get out of your bed in the morning.
Kudos to my friend Nico who found this hilarious video by the SMBC Theater. I’ve been collecting articles, photos, memes and blog post about geek or nerd girls for a while now. Women who are into geekdom, especially if they are pretty or do sexy cosplay, are accused by some of being “fake geek girls” and of only pretending to like geekdom to get the attention of men.
