Perk up
Amazing how in a field of thousands of sunflowers only one was upright that night. It must have heard I was coming.
One crutch
I had the urge to shoot and the conditions were decent last night so I used one hand to grab a lawn chair and tripod and a crutch in the other. I heard dogs barking in the distance and it was the first time I’ve ever been shook by those sounds. Being defenseless in the [...]
Iowa is down the street
I shot the sunrise today in this corn field. Ann grew up in Iowa and even she says this area reminds her of Iowa, endless rows of corn for miles. True bliss in every way possible. I went back tonight and this was the first shot I took, I hung around waiting for the moon [...]
Conversation Killed
This barn is down the street from our house but I never took shots of it until last night. I was there for about 25 minutes until a cop pulled up and asked what I was doing. I played dumb and told him I didn’t see all the trespassing signs that were extremely visible once [...]
SCAD
I met with an admissions rep from SCAD today so most of my time has been spent hastily putting together an essay and portfolio. There’s no way to say this without being cocky, but choosing what to present from my body of work is alot harder than creating it. Funny how two years ago I [...]
4-16-10
I started shooting at 7:00 and I got back to my car at 8:27. This left 32 minutes for me to get to PT and I still had to go home to change. Somehow I made it on time without driving like a prick. I thought Ann would go easy on me (more like I [...]
Alberta Cross+BRMC
I got to see these two fine bands the other night courtesy of Austin, my friend who also happens to have the deepest pocket and fiercest beard since John Henry Bonham. I love everything about Albert Cross and I’m partial because I love Austin’s playing and I love their work ethic. They opened for Oasis [...]
Death Valley
I worked on this while listening to On’s album. I’ve listened to that album a couple thousand times over the years and it sounds new to me every time I listen to it. Ken Andrews is so ridiculously overrated as an engineer and producer that its a shame. I would love to have him mix [...]

I finally finished the mix of rid of you, I overdubbed a guitar part that sounds like a chainsaw with a motor made by Audi. The more I listen to the song the more I realize how great of an achievement it is for me. I couldn’t be happier about my drumming, guitar playing, choice [...]
San Francisco
For some reason this shot popped into my head today so I worked on it. Must have come from the part of my brain that’s missing California.
