That could be one definition of poetry. My friend Raj Patel nails it with this 4-minute video for his latest book, The Value Of Nothing. It begins with a giant animated cockroach (Kafka's Metamorphosis) and ends with a slow-motion 360-degree backflip off a high-diving board. Watch the video and you'll see how perfectly each image captures a paradigm - or paradigm-shift. posted by shailja at 10:16 AM 0 Comments: Post a Comment Links to this post: <$BlogBacklinkTitle$> <$BlogBacklinkSnippet$> posted by <$BlogBacklinkAuthor$> @ <$BlogBacklinkDateTime$> Create a Link << Home Previous Posts Power of an image Water.
