the soul evolution

pdxsf day five and six

2011-07-22T13:40:00.000-07:00

here's what camping looks like!

pdxsf day three

2011-07-22T13:10:00.000-07:00

I somehow barely took any pictures in sf, and the ones I did take were shit. again, 86ing the canon after this, I'm just not in a place to learn how a new thing works. ol' reliable-ish mamiya just got a pay raise increase. ANYWAY. alex martin, one of the raddest ladies I know, took me on a whirl wind adventure where we: ate breakfast, texted in nature, drove a car, and ate at in-n-out, all while having deep conversation about life and love and sex and mental health. it was really one of the most beautiful days ever, and exactly how I wish every day of my life was. I wish I had brought some e-6, and my mamiya, cause her hair and her incredibly beautiful eyes were meant for it, and I also wish she lived near me, so we could replay days like this all the damn time.

also during this day, dean helped me get my tire fixed, I hung out with siesta dave, I caught up with veronica, and I went to the bar with all of the people above and more. zero documentation. too busy loving life?

pdxsf day two

2011-07-22T12:57:00.000-07:00

because of our late start on thursday, we barely stopped on friday, and when we did, it was usually for gas, but I did get a couple of gems

pdxsf day one

2011-07-22T12:45:00.000-07:00

we got a little of a late start, due to the first of two tire problems on the trip, but the fact that we made it to this spot, to take these pictures, means that our timing was perfect. nature, plus justin smoking some tobacco. cause people do that. out of glass pipes. while in nature.

pdxsf

2011-07-22T12:38:00.000-07:00

so, justin asked me if I wanted to go camping. I said yes, and then altered our plan to involve motorcycles, and also a detour to san francisco. I think it was the right choice.

my first modification to my bike was the simon p green camera mount, which was followed by some of the best bungee chord attachments I've ever done. it may look like a lot of stuff, but most of that has to do with the fact that my sleeping bag doesn't really compress, and is in the bottom bag, and the other camping gear I brought with me. the casio ended up being the right choice, as well.

macro

2011-07-22T12:35:00.000-07:00

I think the only thing I really like about my new canon is the macro lens. so, when I 86 the canon from the group, I'll really miss that. maybe I can find one for my mamiya?

first river trip of 2011:

2011-07-08T13:39:00.001-07:00

my first river trip involved an amazing motorcycle ride, buds, babes, perfect weather, and the river. what more could you ask for? first roll shot with the 50mm lens for the canon, and I think I'm gonna go back to the 28mm for the next roll, I like it a lot better.

CANON

2011-06-30T19:19:00.000-07:00

I got my first ever canon the other day. I believe it's an early 80s/late 70s canon av-1. along with it I got a 50mm 1:1.8 lens, a 135mm 1:3.5 lens, a 75-200mm 1:4.5 macro zoom lens, and a 28mm 1:2.8 lens. this was shot with the last of them. also a flash, carrying cases, and manuals which is great, because I've only ever shot with a 50mm 1:1.8 before. all of this for $40 as well, pretty damn stoked.

matt smith

2011-06-18T14:10:00.000-07:00

matt smith is one of the most interesting guys I know. from sailing around the world to being obsessed with legos, to being really subtly great with jokes, to being hella smart, matt's one of those dudes that not a lot of people know about, which is a bummer for you fools that are missing out. maybe it's because he hangs out with loud mouths like me, that drown out the way funnier shit that matt says. actually, that's probably it. anyway, matt's rad. stoked that I know the dude.

the drunken late night how are we not getting a noise complaint party

2011-06-18T14:04:00.000-07:00

I took a couple of pictures from the late night party in the room, but I think this one is the best. blown out. brodeo with that little half smile that indicates he's wasted. allen laughing so hard that he's almost gonna fall over, while jake looks like he's got his shit together, even though he's using that wall to not fall down. it was a great party, and it was strange being the soberest one in the room. also, I'm pretty sure this party ended with brodeo sleeping in a parking garage, but it's honestly a mystery to everyone where he went.

fuck knuckles and surf turd?

2011-06-18T14:00:00.000-07:00

okay, I'm pretty sure that was supposed to say SURF and TURF, but that TURF looks like TURD. also, I wish ciao would have gotten in a fight that night, as his plan to double punch someone and yell "you got fuck knuckled" would have been AWESOME to experience.

pizza party!

2011-06-18T13:55:00.000-07:00

i love the the concierge had us pegged as hipsters and told us to order pizza from the hippy pizza place with natural ingredients because, as it turns out, we are hipsters, and it was hella good pizza. ashley, lynda, elliot, and bret.

siesta

2011-06-18T13:51:00.000-07:00

where else would I get a picture of the man named naptime? I met david years ago, and he impressed me (and everyone, really) with his ability to take naps any damn place he pleases. he's also a really smart cat, who's very insightful, and generally soft spoken, but who has told me on numerous occasions that I'm an idiot. and usually he was pretty right. stoked that we got to hang out at the rally, wish we got to hang out more often.

casa de creatar

2011-06-18T13:47:00.001-07:00

and then there was hotel. the creatures decided to get rooms, I think mostly for the ability to swim in a pool, which seems totally reasonable to me. I felt that buying drugs was a better investment, but I didn't turn down the invite to pizza party AND late night party in bret, siesta, jake, and lynda's room. it had a nice view and only sort of smelled like farts.

more mopedsss

2011-06-18T13:38:00.000-07:00

Creature babes and more mopeds (including vic's old laguna) and literally the RAREST moped to see at a moped rally (amf roadmaster, nathan would be proud) and ace's bike, which I passed, and was passed by, at least 30 times on the saturday ride.

moped ride one pt 2

2011-06-18T04:00:00.000-07:00

we break the law, we break the law, we run away (slowly and poorly), and then we park these things, and get awesome.

moped ride one

2011-06-18T03:53:00.000-07:00

some mopeds, some mopeds, my introduction to cal-neva, and proof that the puddle cutters advertise better than keystone. also, I think jesse's helmet makes his head look like a bug.

what the hell, reno?

2011-06-18T03:49:00.000-07:00

I've been drinking on and off for 16 years or so, and for some reason, I had never seen keystone before. we used to talk about it, years ago, while drunk in fresno. like we all firmly believed they made a keystone light, but no keystone, thus defying the logic of making a "light" alternative. leave it to reno to have the only damn cans of it in the world. also, keystone needs to up their advertising. by buying this picture from me.

longo and ciao

2011-06-18T03:44:00.000-07:00

two of my favorite people. I wish jessica could have rallied more, but it was hella great to see her. ciao killed it all weekend, and got drunker that I've ever seen him. so that was a win.

camping

2011-06-04T14:56:00.000-07:00

so, I went camping, stared at this, communed with the gods, and then found morels the next morning. it was a good way to spend a couple of days.

homies

2011-06-04T14:35:00.000-07:00

on the bmx is adam who, after this trip we took to the local skate park, has become one of my favorite new people. the dude is mega rad, and I'm super stoked for emily (pic 2, reading the bible) that she gets to hang out with him all the time. good people. then there's some dead thing, and the view from their driveway. fun day, though I was really embarrassed to be so sore from doing a couple of bunny hops.

gems

2011-06-04T14:30:00.000-07:00

four more pics from that trip to kelly point park, none of which help determine who was actually on the trip with us. emily's bike, miguel's helmet, miguel and his bike, and some trees.

the oregon coast

2011-06-04T14:27:00.001-07:00

our thrifting trip led to the oregon coast. chelsea was THRILLED and not at all bothered by the freezing water.

breakfast of champions

2011-06-04T14:23:00.000-07:00

mal, chels, and I went thrifting. with a stop off at hungry tiger first.

happy little accidents

2011-06-04T14:21:00.000-07:00

I really like this photo. it was one of those "beginning of the rolls, take a couple shots to get the film warmed up" photos, and I think it came out interesting.

the one parking lot:

2011-06-04T14:17:00.001-07:00

etc.

that time we went to kelly point park...

2011-06-04T14:12:00.001-07:00

so, it's been a while. I think wang was also there? and I wanna say... somebody else? maybe not, but I thought there was five of us? anyway, miguel, emily, wang, somebody maybe, and I went on a ride, on a nice day. it was really pretty. and we went to kelly point park. yup.

continuing with my favorite parking lot to take pictures from:

2011-06-04T14:04:00.000-07:00

I started this here: http://wizardactivephotographyclub.blogspot.com/2011/03/work-parking-lot-exhibit.html basically, I think the view from this parking lot is top notch. I sit here, reading doctor who, and occasionally decide that it's pretty enough to put down the book, get out of my cab, and take a picture. this is actually one of my favorites so far.

hawaii

2011-06-04T14:00:00.000-07:00

this is what hawaii (oahu) looks like. honolulu, then the north shore. it's really damn pretty. I don't think I'll be going back any time soon, but I'm really glad I went.

meanwhile, back in hawaii...

2011-06-04T13:55:00.000-07:00

it apparently took me a long time to finish up one of these rolls of film. I blame it on the fact that it was with my voigtlander, which is a hell of a nice camera, but as it doesn't have a fine manual focus, I didn't shoot nearly as much with it. at any rate, amy, one of my fine and wonderful hosts in honolulu, at the beginning of the roll, all washed out.

angel!

2011-03-10T19:52:00.000-08:00

angel is by far my favorite tattoo artist ever, and just hella rad all around. here she is being bundled up, and shooting a gun! yay portland vacation!

emily and adam

2011-03-10T19:47:00.000-08:00

emily brought this dude shooting guns with us, and he had a sweet hat, and busted his ass trying to help get my stupid truck out of the snow. so he's a winner in my book. emily is always a winner in my book. so here's a picture of two winners. in the snow.

more norther gun pictures!

2011-03-10T19:39:00.000-08:00

from that same gun shootin adventure as earlier, these just took longer to get developed.

someone put a flying saucer on a stand, plus the beach

2011-03-10T19:03:00.000-08:00

seattle.

the work parking lot: exhibit b

2011-03-10T18:59:00.000-08:00

the mamiya's take on it:

I love night time cross prossessed photos

2011-03-10T18:56:00.000-08:00

I mean, I've really not got anything else to say about this one.

a different parking lot, the same idea

2011-03-10T18:47:00.000-08:00

killing time, not working.

mal and zach go thrifting in mcminnville

2011-03-10T18:41:00.001-08:00

some highlights from a successful thrifty thursday:

the work parking lot: exhibit a

2011-03-10T18:25:00.000-08:00

there's this parking lot that I sit in when it's slow at work. I read doctor who books, and listen to the radio, eat lunch sometimes, call my parents. you know, the things you do when sitting in a parking lot. I love the view, so I've decided to document it. here's what the voigtlander had to say about it. I didn't keep track of the dates the pictures were taken, but some time about early february.

brodeo

2011-03-10T18:24:00.000-08:00

the man, the myth. there's little I could say about mike that this picture doesn't say. real good dude, real good stash.

kendra

2011-03-10T18:16:00.000-08:00

kendra came to visit, from buffalo. I think this might be the only picture I have of her, which is weird, but whatever. anyway. kendra is amazing. she's mostly a whirlwind, and this time she was really muted, and it was a good visit, where we just talked for hours. I wish she lived on the west coast so I could see her more than once every five years.

norther and zach go to canby: part three

2011-02-26T19:28:00.001-08:00

this was actually bald peak, but part of the canby adventure. there's two pictures that are pretty much identical. how'd I know that they'd both come out good? am I supposed to pick one I like better? fuck it, they're both going up.

norther and zach go to canby: part two

2011-02-26T19:22:00.000-08:00

the continued canby graveyard adventures

norther and zach go to canby: part one

2011-02-26T19:11:00.000-08:00

so, norther and I both really like driving around, and looking at stuff, and taking pictures of stuff, and being awesome. we were talking the other night about all the places we had been, and one thing led to another, and we decided to go to canby, lurk in cemeteries, and take pictures of stuff. So here we go:

norther: ich bin meine eigene frau

2011-02-26T19:07:00.000-08:00

norther got a really rad tattoo. she bled a lot. and was really nervous. but angel did an awesome job, and it looks great. we took the bandage off later, and you could read the whole thing backwards in blood. pretty sweet.

alexis wrekk: cribz

2011-02-26T19:03:00.000-08:00

alex has my little pony hair, a reasonably organized office, and a wonderfully decorated/ painted dining room. she also let me get tattooed in her house. she's hella rad.

before. then after.

2011-02-26T18:59:00.000-08:00

I got a tattoo on my hand. I wanted a reminder that life is really fucking cool. cause it is. and for the record, the 't' hurt the most, and the 'l' felt really good. it was a strange tattoo. thanks angel!

tattoo day.

2011-02-26T18:53:00.000-08:00

so, norther and I went to get tattooed by the wonderful and talented angel sanders. check her out at http://www.chikkenscratch.com it was a rad day, hanging out at alex's house, with maggie and norther and angel.

robin

2011-02-26T18:50:00.000-08:00

robin was probably the only person properly dressed for shooting guns on a snow covered mountain. luckily, she balanced the scales by showing up WAY hungover.

norther emily

2011-02-21T16:16:00.000-08:00

my good friend norther just moved back to portland after being gone for a couple of years. I really wanted to take her out, bro-down, catch up on everything we've missed in each others lives, and have a really fun time doing it. so we jumped in my truck, headed to the wilderness, played in the snow, and shot a bunch of guns. if handing a girl with frostbitten hands a tec-9 isn't a great welcome back then I don't know what is.

eli

2011-02-21T16:12:00.000-08:00

I was showing someone my blog last night, and some of those early pictures of eli blow my mind. I'm having a "they grow up so fast moment" and he's not even my kid. anyway, this dude's finally talking about comic books non-stop, which is what I've been waiting for since I met him. he's really rad, and next time I go over, hopefully his parents will let me watch cartoons with him.

natalia czajkiewicz

2011-02-21T16:08:00.000-08:00

why so serious, girl? ha. hanging out with talia, always awesome. I think I got a salad? beats me.

brendan

2011-02-21T16:07:00.003-08:00

I went up to seattle a couple weeks back to see brendan and arianna barrans. not just them, but a mostly them. these kids are the nicest hosts ever, have a really cute house, and are a lot of fun. this was what I can call the before picture, the day that followed involved a really awesome moped ride, an underpopulated show, getting shit housed and baffled by kids in the hall, and having every video game that I wanted to play break. ha. it was amazing. I have some other pictures from this trip from another roll, but here's brendan as we played spinja's in the morning.

guns and rollerskates

2011-01-11T04:16:00.000-08:00

obviously, if you're paying attention, this blog is about taking pictures of having fun, and loved ones, and that's why I'm pretty stoked that my first pics of 2011 are of homies and fun. love you dudes, let's keep getting awesome.

mica

2011-01-11T04:10:00.001-08:00

I don't think she was looking at anything, really, but if you look at it right, it looks like there might be a ghost there that she's looking at. here's mica, amazed that I finally bought a couch, a year or so after I first brought up that I was looking for one.

the brit

2011-01-11T03:51:00.000-08:00

so, we took another foreign european type shooting with us, this time, some kid from where bbc is from. he seemed scared, and also, angry that I kept calling him the brit. this wasn't meant as a diss, more that I just couldn't remember his name, and he was the only foreigner there. he was not nearly as attractive as our last foreigner, but he was a nice kid.

what the fuck?

2011-01-11T03:49:00.001-08:00

it's this kind of insanity that makes vanj great. "would you like to shoot the ar?" "sure, hang on a sec..." *digs through bag, pulls out a mask, puts it on* "okay, I'm ready!

andrew

2011-01-11T03:44:00.000-08:00

I really like andrew. he's what I would describe as a "capitol weirdo". this is a great thing to be, a little eccentric, a bit weird, but a good dude. this picture's not that great, but I wanted to post it because I like the hella old grandpa gun, the sleeveless t, and the goofy haircut together. it's a nice combo.

alexis wrekk: gunslinger

2011-01-11T03:41:00.000-08:00

alex was un- comfortable about shooting guns. I told her over and over again how safe and sane we were shooting, and that if she wanted to come, I'd be happy to have her. she came, and became the first person to hurt themselves with a gun that we've shot with. I felt really bad. luckily, it was a little ding. sorry, alex.

back in time vanj

2011-01-11T03:36:00.000-08:00

we went shooting this summer. and I developed the film this winter. a couple of the shots looked weird. I like them. vanj + pistol + cheerleading outfit. whynot?

nicholas rouley

2010-12-06T13:34:00.000-08:00

nick came out to visit portland after years of talking about it. one of the first things we did was head to mt hood and shoot guns in the snow. I really hope I did a good job of showing him how we do in Portland.

lil emily. ememily. etc emily.

2010-12-06T13:25:00.000-08:00

I'm really glad we got emily back. it felt like forever that she was in this strange alternate universe, a desolate black hole. but now she's all normal and fun again. and with a coonskin hat.

miguel

2010-12-06T13:11:00.000-08:00

miguel has this beautiful bike. it's pretty awesome. I think I wanna buy it from him when he decides to sell it.

i forgot photography.

2010-12-06T12:53:00.000-08:00

sorry about that. I'll do my best to remedy the situation. portland in the winter. from my porch. there's snow, but you have to look for it.

the broken mamiya, part two.

2010-06-26T04:51:00.000-07:00

in seattle, I hung out with natalia, a wonderful friend who I have known since I was 17. which was 14 years ago. which is a really, really, really long time. we went out for drinks in the daytime and talked about mental health. very rewarding. I'm pretty in love with that first picture, even though it would have been nice to see it without the light leaks.

the broken mamiya, part one.

2010-06-26T04:41:00.000-07:00

so, my $12 SLR, that I love, that has served me so well, has gained some being broken to it. Some of these look alright, even with the massive light leaks, mostly I wish these pictures would have came out alright. oh well. it is what it is. vic and I went to seattle. vic's vw caddy got us there awesomely, followed by fucked up flowers, and talia's arm while driving.

f/s: one gently used belt buckle

2010-05-16T13:52:00.001-07:00

this shit's going on ebay. a vast improvement, even if it doesn't actually help keep pants up anymore.

THIS IS WHAT FIGHTING FOR YOUR FREEDOM LOOKS LIKE

2010-05-16T13:50:00.000-07:00

james shooting the shit out of some shit.

arwen

2010-05-16T13:39:00.000-07:00

I've mentioned arwen's awesomeness and gun lovingness many times, (like here: ARWEN) and the only thing I really have to add this time is that she's a scorpio, and we bro-d down about that, and her skylark, while a really debatable mode of long distance travel, did a fine job of getting us to simon's and back. she's still rad, she's still tougher than you, and there we are.

meggan

2010-05-16T13:33:00.000-07:00

meggan's pretty rad. I don't know much about her, something about redneckery in her past, but never having shot a gun before, she works at a cafe, she wears doilies, which I don't even know if that's how you spell that. but she seems pretty awesome. so that's cool. I would question her sense of direction, especially when drunk, but my friend elias once walked four miles in the wrong direction while wasted, and he's lived in portland for like 7 years. it happens. anyway, if I wasn't lazy, I'd make an animated gif of the first two pictures. also, she looks sort of scart with that tec, no?

not with gun

2010-05-16T13:30:00.001-07:00

I like this picture of mica. she wasn't shooting anything, but it's still pretty rad.

victor

2010-05-16T13:26:00.000-07:00

so, I only got a couple good shots of vic shooting, mostly because he didn't yell or walk at targets or shoot with the gun sideways as much as everyone else. but I really like the one of him here with the tec, and I think he and mica ended up making a really weird/awesome picture together.

my girl.

2010-05-16T13:15:00.000-07:00

mica had never gone shooting before. I wasn't really sure how she'd feel about it, whether or not she'd be stoked on it. about half way through the day she looked over at me, with this awesome goofy grin, while holding a semi- auto tec-9, and I got the impression she was having a good time.

mal and james, a love story.

2010-05-16T13:08:00.000-07:00

nothing romantic than teaching your wife how to shoot a gun. mal with her first shot, mal figuring out how to get over her winking problem, mal smoking and shooting a tec-9.

mt hood

2010-05-16T13:01:00.000-07:00

we woke up early one saturday morning, well early for me, having worked the night before, and early for other members of the group having worked hard drinking the night before, and we headed to the beautiful mt hood. it was warm, but not too warm, there was a small bit of snow still on the ground. it was incredibly beautiful, and we had a great time. shooting guns.

the park

2010-05-16T12:54:00.001-07:00

after spending a beautiful day riding my moped all over, I went to meet up with david and daniel and a bunch of their friends at the park. and then I laid on the ground, took some pictures, then took a nap. it was great.

mysteries of the deep!

2010-05-16T12:45:00.000-07:00

so, a few months ago, I'm guessing around october, I went out to take some pictures with my trusty mamiya slr, only to find out that I suddenly was missing three of the four screws out of the bottom of my camera. I put the slr on the shelf for WAY to long, waiting to go buy replacement screws, and using other cameras. finally got it fixed the other day, then finished shooting the roll that was in it, and here's the pictures I took before the screws fell out. johnny b, and three of my front yard at the fight club house.

odds and ends

2010-05-14T13:48:00.000-07:00

so, this first one is my favorite graffiti ever, followed by my love of chain link fences, and followed by a moped. do people still like pictures of mopeds? did they ever?

I've said it before, but it bears repeating...

there's something about cincinnati that just grabs me. maybe I'm fated to die there, maybe next time I go I'll find a gold brick, who the fuck knows? I feel like the kids I've met there are a big part of it. they have a bit of that fresno feel to them, the banding together of a small group where, even when they're pissed at each other, they're family, and even if they hate cincy, it's their home, and you better shut the fuck up about it. anyway. love those kids, love the town, here's some pictures.

cincy thai food with kristen

2010-05-14T13:21:00.000-07:00

the first time I really hung out with kristin, we were in an old van, smoking weed out of a pop can, cramming mopeders who had broken down in the back, and driving semi- dangerously around the ohio country side. I realized then that she was a really rad girl, and yet another of the cincy kids that I wish would just move to portland already. the last day of my trip she went with me out to thai food. it was pretty delectable, and good conversation, and no, I have no idea what she's doing in that second picture. dancing? yawning? also, she has pretty much the best apartment I've ever been in. frealz.

we went out for mexican food, and the salsa was delightful.

saturday: the day we sat in a yard and didn't rally

2010-04-30T14:11:00.000-07:00

I had some amazing conversations with amazing people on saturday. it was a great day. a day that had nothing to do with a moped rally, and had everything to do with drinking in a yard in louisville with friends from cincinnati. the downside is that every single picture I took, I took from this chair. sorry.

the best out the window driving down the road everything's blurry picture I ever took.

kentucky at more than a mile a minute.

indian food with erin!

2010-04-30T13:39:00.000-07:00

man, it was good. I can't remember which place this was, and there were twelve trillion indian food places in cincy, but it was real delectable, and a fine way to spend an evening.

cincinnati is beautiful.

2010-04-30T13:34:00.000-07:00

man, I wish there was a way I could just spend a week walking around and taking pictures of all the buildings without the worry that someone was going to punch me, take my camera, and leave me for dead.

brian's car: jesus, nissan, ghost cell phone.

2010-04-30T13:30:00.000-07:00

there's something about this that just seems weird. but I like it, and I was stoked for brian driving me around to thrift stores and whatnot. it was a damn good day, and I found what I was looking for, eventually. and no, I was not looking for jesus.

they have grass in cincinnati. proof!

cincinnati and my ongoing love affair with tbs.

2010-04-30T13:20:00.000-07:00

I went to cincinnati, mostly because there was a moped rally in louisville, and I wanted to spend time with my dear friends there before we went to kentucky. erina picked me up at some ungodly time in the morning, and was nice enough to let me use her car, couch, and nature documentaries to pass the morning. I've said it before, but it bears repeating, I'm lucky to have erin in my life.

more.

believe in the power of you.

2010-04-30T13:12:00.000-07:00

I took this picture in either a fit of optimism, or some sort of mocking of optimism, but either way, here it is. you too can believe in the power of you on belmont near the cemetery, but you might not be as lucky in the foot model department as I was.

I took about a trillion pictures of my girlfriend as we walked down the street. here's some that I like.

this sign is across the street from my house. I love the design of it so much. I think the world would be a better place if everything was this warm.

burgerville featuring droni mitchell

2010-04-30T12:52:00.000-07:00

so, the burgerville on hawthorne has shows now. I'm 99% sure it's just to bum out the squares, but who knows? the bright lights, the early start, the french fry smell... it's a weird experience that I highly recommend. also, the coffee milkshake with some snuck in booze is GREAT. also great is droni mitchell, and my friends who were there.

breakfast

2010-04-30T12:49:00.000-07:00

mica and I went to jam on hawthorne. I am not super impressed. there's nothing really bad about it, but since portland is a breakfast mecca, I can't help but say that it's not my favorite. the portions are pretty awesome though, and they have some alright ideas if you like sweet breakfasts. this is mica eating some sort of pancake.

when people have fun.

2010-04-30T12:46:00.000-07:00

this is not a good photograph. what this is, is documentation of what it looks like when two people are really able to let go, and have a lot of fun. this is here to remind us how fun we are, and how fun we can be.

where could I be?

2010-04-30T12:41:00.000-07:00

I haven't the foggiest notion what's going on here. am I in a cellar? is this the last photograph of a man losing his mind, falling to pieces, locked away and forgotten about? well, maybe not the last, but still. where is this?

so, I got made into an image, then put on a t-shirt, and mica modeled it.

2010-03-21T20:13:00.001-07:00

my girlfriend is beautiful.

mica's neighbor.

2010-03-21T20:04:00.000-07:00

I have no idea why I took a picture of this kid. I mean, I thought the lighting would be good. and it was. otherwise, really got nothing in the narrativeness. I think it's pretty. the end.

LONGO.

I'm pretty sure that there's things going on in jessica's head that I would never be able to understand. there's always this feeling that her mind is doing really interesting things that I want to get in on. I guess that's not a great job explaining it, and I feel like maybe I could do better, but that's what comes to mind when I think of jessica. that, and that I really like the way she talks, and uses her hands while talking. hm... I think that I'll try to take more pictures of her later, and by then maybe I'll have a better idea of what it is that I'm trying to say.

grill 'em all.

2010-03-21T19:54:00.000-07:00

metallica is fucking stupid. seriously. the world would probably be a better place if cliff would have lived, and the rest of them died. but whatever. this truck, is awesome. even if the name references morons.
