I have moved into the studio. I'm sure my photos will take on some different vibes from this point forward. These next photos that I will be showing are experiments with lighting and human models...

Public Transpo.

So as much as I enjoy riding the MAX line, or any public transportation for that matter, sometimes I just can't seem to get away from the drunk assholes who want to sing Bob Seger songs really loud while everyone sits captive. It's funny, because in PDX, everyone is damn nice and never says anything. Well, I can't take it anymore, I have decided that I am going to say something when this shit goes down in lieu of letting my brain slowly melt out of my ears. Does this make me an assshole? I guess I don't really care at this point...but it kind of makes me feel like Rorschach from The Watchmen or something...please feel free to comment.

Inaugural post

List of occurrences in the past week:

1. Watched the last minute of the Super Bowl (or is it; Superbowl?)
2. Was told by a co-worker that watching the last minute of the game would render my current art-school education obsolete
3. Agreed with the co-worker
4. Attended a reading at Powells by Shelby Steele, who wrote "A Bound Man: Why We Are Excited About Obama and Why He Can't Win"
5. Got mad at Shelby Steele for trying to simplify a lot of peoples views on Obama
6. Read "The God Delusion": by Richard Dawkins
7. Got over being sick as a dog
8. Went to Bybee Lake and took "Landscape Photos" for a theory & practice class called American Landscape (it was kinda fun and funny at the same time)
9. Went to the doctor
10. Smoked some hash and listened to records after getting drunk on Negro Modelo and eating a burrito from Javiers after the bar closed
