Rewatching this doc. It's a personal story about going to India in 68 to study meditation with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (along with The Beatles, who were also there). The doc uses great photos, contemporary interviews, and a trip back to the ashram. I'm enjoying the revisit myself via the film!

First film for 2026: The Jade Raksha (1968) with Cheng Pei-Pei and Tang Ching as Wuxia heroes on revenge quests vs a supervillain with a secret dungeon. The extra dose of atmosphere was provided by cues lifted from John Barry's From Russia with Love soundtrack:

Thinking back to Rutherford Chang's exhibit "We Buy White Albums" in 2017. A creative idea to spotlight the limited-edition quality of the original record, as well as our collective interaction with The Beatles via customized sleeves by past owners. Chang passed last January.

I enjoyed rewatching Scorsese's doc about George Harrison again. This Korean poster uses one of MANY photos of The Beatles exploring photography. I love that their creativity & curiosity never ebbed; not even during rare moments of downtime. Looking forward to the upcoming George photo book.
