lumiere 005: Car Wash
Update: January 17, 2008
I created five Lumiere videos between June 27 - July 22, 2007, in response to encouragement from fellow vlogger Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen. It was fun. My videos, along with those of many others, were linked to from videoblogging.info.
In August 2007, Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen and Brittany Shoot published the Lumiere Manifesto. I wish to publicly state that I disagree with most of the manifesto content, and that my Lumiere videos should not be construed as an endorsement of the manifesto. I am not interested in engaging in a conversation about the manifesto’s relative merits, or what I view as problematic. I simply wish to disassociate my work from it.

I’ve been running a few errands in preparation for BlogHer. One of them included getting my car washed. Lest you think I’m auto-fussy, check out what the dust storm did to my car a couple nights ago. Ugh.
Anyway, I recognized the opportunity for another Lumiere video. Please enjoy your own audio soundtrack while playing the video back.

I can’t explain why, but the first half of this was, to me, very creepy–like a horror movie.
I am in the process of posting my first lumiere video now!

I think it’s the darkness and the vague flashing red light, and the hint of something dripping. That’s just creepy, anywhere you see it. I think it’s especially creepy in the larger sizes.
