I have put up a new series of photographs on my portfolio currently title Spring. This is work from spring of 2009 that I originally felt very conflicted with. It didn’t seem to be concept-driven enough, or structured enough. I was lost that quarter, but in hind-sight maybe those sensations had something to do with [...]

I have been writing an essay this week on the topic of language change and technology. Most of my research has come from the books of David Crystal: Language and the Internet (2001) and Txtng (2008). For the record I am not thrilled to have one author as my main resource but have not found [...]

Recognizing my worth?
January 24th, 2010 · No Comments · Uncategorized
I have been submitting my work all over the place. Who knows. But it feels good to be trying. It is kind of like admitting to myself that my work is worth being viewed by someone else if I send it out intentionally. I have to convince myself before I can convince others.
Port-au-Prince, Haiti pre-earthquake

via Google earth
Edit: 2/5 The last image of the airport may be post earthquake. I made these screenshots a day before I saw that Google updated the satellite imagery on Google Earth of Haiti. Maybe at the point I viewed it some of the images were updated and some were not yet. Unsure.

These are my two favorite images by Carl Weese in his series of photographs of drive-in theaters. I was reading a New York Times blurb that went along with a slideshow of his images and a quote by Carl really stood out to me.
“I’m not going to get a turned head to think that I [...]

I haven’t been comfortable this last week
I haven’t fit inside my skin quite right
my sleeves rub me the wrong way and the strings around my wrists
suddenly appear to be too constricting
my hair will not settle in one place
the strands seem as impatient as my submerged brain

Writing is way too personal
January 15th, 2010 · No Comments · Uncategorized
I have always written, privately. I have notebook after notebook squirreled away in my room starting from eight or nine. I was never really one for drawing but I liked words. I still like words, hell I like books and libraries and authors and still words. And yes, I am writing right now, but writing [...]

Always exhausting
December 12th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Uncategorized
I know a small amount of html mostly based on trial and error and the help of w3schools. This makes updating and tweaking my website layout very time consuming and usually frustrating. But the exciting part is I FINALLY made the images from my new series a click-thru gallery instead of a side-scroll. This gives [...]
