Antiquarium

Here's a brief video tour of the Antiquarium bookstore in Omaha, Nebraska. I've spent days of my life in this place, buying music, books and comics. The bulk of my collection of "Heavy Metal" comic magazine was purchased at this place. For Omaha, this place is very progressive politically, hosting meetings of activist groups like Youth for Peace. The very top floor has always served as an art gallery, but as you'll see in this video, now also seems to be a meeting room.

So glad to see this place still exists after all these years. Not only does it merely exist, but it is apparently expanding. When I visited this time, in December 2005, there was a new expansion at the back of the first and second floors, a balconied room with high ceilings.

A video of short patterned sequences. Discrete whimsical folding of a typical experience.

West Burnside After Dark

Powell's Books is a huge store in downtown Portland, Oregon. Powell's is on Burnside, a major street that divides Portland into North and South. The shots that make up this short montage were captured one night while I waited for the #20 bus to take me home.
