how is pinterest even legal?

 

a commercial company copying and putting images up in their website, without permission, that is for exclusive use of people with +pinterest account. am i missing something?  i was under the impression that their reasoning was that it's no different than google images, where images are shown in search result, and that theirs is just a way of people organizing it.  but, hey, anyone can use google image search, but with pinterest, you have to have an account and logged in to be able to use it.  no, that's definitely not the same. i cry douchebaggery!

reading for "house of trixxx"

i told you about the "house of trixxx" screenplay that i wrote a while back, right?  well i've decided to film some scenes from it.  i placed an ad on craigslist for actors and this is matt benson reading a short scene. he's reading for the part of shane - a drag queen noob from a religious family. in this scene he's being interrogated by the police, being a key witness to a murder. hopefully i can post a better scene video when we record it with proper setting and with the dialogue memorized.  this was our first meeting, at brooklyn's anchored inn, over fries.

kids walking through rice fields to get to school

taken in my hometown in the philippines when i went for a walk one morning.  the best part is when i discovered upon inspecting the photo closely that one of the boys was holding a bird to bring to school - just the sort of thing kids did when i was growing up.

anyway, the photo seemed popular when i used it as my page cover in fb, so i thought i'd post it here.
