Childhood work

January 30th, 2010 · No Comments · Uncategorized

My Mother recently scanned this and sent it to me.  I have no idea when this is from or what I am saying but it’s pretty weird.
Translation:
Chicken
Once upon a time their lived a chicken
it’s feathers looked green.
it was the biggest chicken i’ve seen.  Isn’t it.
This one is weird as it skips along the grass it stops [...]

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.

Carl Weese

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 [...]

Writing Archives

Date: March 18th 2004
Age: 17
Location: University of Cincinnati
Condition: Depression?
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

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 [...]

and the whale.
I watched it again tonight.  I can’t really explain why it is important to me, but it is.  Besides being an amazing narrative it is also beautifully shot which is what inspired me to pause it and take some well timed screenshots.
These images are not square but Wordpress crops them in this gallery [...]
