Alpine Valley

Leili Gueranfar explores another form of self-expression, at a firing range in Switzerland in July of 2006.

Change, and maybe growth.

Much as I was a fan of Ourmedia.org, and the freeness of it, it was too frustrating to not be able to post anything for a whole week, especially with all of the new stuff I have to share from Paris.

So I decided to pay for web hosting through Yahoo, which is still pretty cheap actually, and now I have an 800 number to call whenever things don't work like they should. I also, excitingly, have email through the site name: kevino@videohaiku.com.

I may even get around to putting up a whole website at this address, in addition to the blog... but no promises. For now, I'm back, same as ever - and I hope you enjoy.

Thanks for stopping by.

Soirée Parisienne

An evening of drinking and dancing with the Maffesoli family in Paris on July 1st, 2006.

Yes, this is how the French party.
