My job is weakening me. Jading me. It’s making me a worse person. I so look forward to the weekends, because it allows me a break from it all, and to recover my humanity. This is a good thing, becuase lately, by the end of the week… I am one mean bitch. It’s an easy thing to become when the majority of the people you get to deal with at work…
Once again it’s the 4th of July, but this time I just don’t have the energy to say what I want to. Maybe it’s that just love the idea of living in a free country too much. So much, that I look at the government, corporations, social conflicts, and the amount of greed in general, and I no longer have any idea of what to do. It’s kind of depressing, really. When your…
America
This series started as an annual event. I decided one 4th of July that I needed to express my feelings of patriotism, and created the first in the America series. The next year I began to examine my feelings more closely, and the images from there out began to take a radical turn. I felt it important to explore the disparity between the perception of the holiday – and in…
Song of the day: Mercy Street – Peter Gabriel
I have a friend who’s a vegan PETA freak. She’s also an artist, but doesn’t really produce anything anymore. This is a shame, since I like a lot of her work. Here’s a quick 101 class on HD… now HR (and yes, it is pertinent). Primarily a painter, she had a few shows, pieces ranging from small to very large. No real primary focus to her body of work (kind of…
Song of the day: A man comes around – Johnny Cash
When most people say that Johnny Cash is a classic musician, they do so in the same way that they would say Star Wars shaped generations. But I think that in many cases, it’s just taken for granted. I’d have been one of those people myself. Sure, I’ve heard “Ring of Fire”, “I Walk the Line”, “Boy Named Sue”, and so many other classics, but I never really realized the extent…
Tales from the Reverend Bob
The Goodfoot – Portland, OR May 27 – June 25, 2004 Group Exhibition When you’re a reverend, it seems like everyone has something to say. You hear confessions of pain and damnation, tales fantastic and real. This is a collection of such short stories told in still frame. When I began shooting this series, it was intended to be a documentary of sorts, showing pieces that would make up the…
To all those who kept asking me if I actually use my camera phone, the answer is now definitively “yes.” Granted, it took a while for me to get warmed up to it, but now I’m a picture takin’ fool. Here a shot, there a shot. Everywhere. Shot shot. It’s late. I’m a bit silly. For this I apologize. But to continue on about the pictures. I’ve finally added them to…
