I'm David Friedman, a professional photographer who sometimes gets ideas for photos, designs, gadgets, and other projects. I write about it all on this blog. You can find the meaning behind the name “Ironic Sans” back in the very first post.
Likely Media
When I'm not writing the blog, I make a living as a photographer and filmmaker. This is my business website.
Sunday Magazine
At this site, I republish the most interesting articles from the New York Times Sunday Magazine exactly 100 years ago each week, along with some commentary or context.

[What is this?]
Part 31 in an ongoing series of (approximately) 60 second films.
I’m too humble a blogger to dedicate an entire post to the fact that the 2008 Bloggies are open for nominations until Friday, and that Ironic Sans would be an excellent choice in either the “best-kept secret weblog” or “best American weblog” categories. Luckily, I think quality content like this video really says all that for me.
This site is © David Friedman and except for fair use it may not be reproduced without my permission. Luckily, permission is usually easy to obtain. Contact me and we'll talk. This blog is typeset in Georgia, Times New Roman, or Times, in that order of priority based on what fonts are installed on your computer, or whatever standard serif font is installed if none of the above. The exceptions are the main title, which is based roughly on Baskerville Old Face, and the handwritten parts which are, well, my handwriting.
Comments
For the curious, it’s part of the Adorable Humidifier series by a company called Crane.

This should strike fear in the hearts of our country’s enemies.

You got my vote.
I think your orchid is madly in love with the pig. Just look at the way it wistfully leans toward the silky plasticine swine flesh.

Best humidifier video ever!
I cast my Bloggies ballot a few days ago, and I know I nominated you for something. Best design? Best Latin American blog? Best food blog, maybe? Seriously, I’m pretty sure it was “most humorous.” That would be accurate.

Best Kept Secret? Boy is that a left-handed compliment award. I found you, didn’t I?

That is an AWESOME humidefier.
But now I admit that I’ve wasted a minute looking at a humidifier.

Nothing less than brilliant!
We were moved to tears by this powerful film. The enigmatic symbolism is very poignant.
We would like permission to embed the film for midnight viewings on Le Scat Noir (lescatnoir.blogspot.com)
Please let me know when the sequel is screened.
