So, according to Peterbuilt and her mother I’m dark and twisted, gay, and greedy. All from picking paint colors for a bedroom. The conversation (one sided as it was) went something like this: Me: I could pretty much go with any color for the room. Like blue. Peterbuilt: That’s because it matches your eyes. Me: Or orange. P: That’s because it matches your hair. Me: (thinking I’m being a smart-ass) Or…
The Quiet City
Modern Zoo – Portland, OR July 12 – August 31, 2003 Group Exhibition When I think of a city, it often conjures ideas of hurried people, streets crowded with traffic, and constant noise. For this body of work, I wanted to try and remove such chaos from the picture, showing things as simply as possible. In doing so, I realized I had been left with an unusual sort of emptiness…
I must be brief, for my time in this realm is limited. (how’s that for some good D&D geek-talk?) What I mean is, I’m so busy that I have to schedule time to schedule time. But, just to show you (by you I mean primarily Sundry, but everyone else can jump on the bandwagon as well) that I haven’t dropped off the face of the Earth for all eternity, I’m posting…
Song of the day: So Long, So Wrong – Alison Kraus
I know that I promised some of you my last batch of pictures some time ago, but I really wanted to get the ones from my current show up first. So you’ll have to wait just a little longer for the disturbing ones. They are coming though, I promise.

Seduction
The Ugly Mug – Portland, OR May 1 – 31, 2003 Solo Exhibition The attraction to weapons seems odd to those who despise such things. How can someone call a knife sexy, or a gun beautiful? Those words don’t seem to fit. I, however, have always been drawn to weapons. They have a power that is magnetic. But they hold another kind of attraction as well, one that is suggestive…
Song of the day: More Human Than Human – White Zombie
So, it was day two of my photography class, and already I was typecast. But then, that’s not really anything new. It happened back in my high school drama classes… I was “the crazy/evil guy”. I never did get away from that. And now it’s happening all over again. I’m already “the guy who does sick and twisted pictures”. The rub is that mine are less twisted than some of the other…
So, while it may seem that I’ve been slacking off, doing nothing lately, that assumption would be wrong. In fact, I’ve been extremely busy. Mostly with work and school, but also with trying to get my latest photos scanned in so that I can put them up and prove that I haven’t been slacking off. And now, it’s finally done. I now present my two latest photo projects. Establishing Shots In…
