SO I have to go to bed right now, but I'm just starting a thread where I'll post things I find interesting that are art, music, or photography related. Here's the first.

DARK SIDE OF THE LENS
At only 6 minutes long, this is quite possibly one of the best short film I've ever seen? Especially within the last year. Amazing is an understatement, a biographical of the "Silent work-horses of the surfing world"... it has the epic feel of "Dark Knight" or "Inception" + a very powerful narrative and soundtrack to accompany it. Here are the accolades:
Winner - Best Cinematography, Rhode Island International Film Festival, 2011
Winner - Best Cinematography, 5Point Film Festival 2011
Winner - Grand Prize - Chamonix Film Festival 2011
Winner - Best short - New York Surf Film Festival 2011
