"Our culture of flagrant self-exaltation, hardwired in the American character, permits the humiliation of all those who oppose us. We believe, after all, that because we have the capacity to wage war we have a right to wage war. Those who lose deserve to be erased. Those who fail, those who are deemed ugly, ignorant or poor, should be belittled and mocked. Human beings are used and discarded like Styrofoam boxes that held junk food. And the numbers of superfluous human beings are swelling the unemployment offices, the prisons and the soup kitchens."
-Chris Hedges NY Times

I went to NY last week to visit all of my friends. I love all of you and wish I had remembered to take more photos...

I will get on these personal projects that I have planned and hopefully will come away from some interesting work!

G-Pa Bob

This is my Grandpa Bob, in a house that he used to live in. It's all cobwebs now. The air in there is thick, it's so full of emotion... I am not sure where to go with this project. There is such a huge disconnect, I feel like I don't know this man

Rework

This was one of the initial shots for my Jeff Bark project.

It's been a good week here in KC.

Shrinkage

Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure not this thing nor that but simply growth. We are happy when we are growing.

William Butler Yeats

I feel like i am letting myself shrink. I need to stop that. No one likes shrinkage am I right?

I have been shooting for a band called Flemico Mio. Really talented group.

Paper Dolls n' things

Things are going well in back here in Kansas. I am starting to work with some cool people and I am hopeful about the budding KC art scene. This is a short stop motion I did for Birdies Lingerie in K.C. Let me know what you think!



Plus I discovered Magic Marshmellow popcorn.. It's by Jolly Time... Please try it, food orgasms await.

Home away from home

Familiar places sometimes feel so foreign. That's how I can tell I have changed.

Cupcakes

Two Women..


A Shit ton of cupcakes...


One day of Nummies!

Shattered Tooth

The human jaw muscles can generate a force of 200 pounds. Perhaps that's the reason my tooth cracked into my gum a few days ago..

Keepin on keepin on

It's time to start updating this baby again..

I have been out of it for a while...

Ava

This little girl had an adult essence about her.

Eureka!

Eureka Springs, AR 2010 Blues Festival

- a stereotypical look at an amazing experience.



Rodger


Banjo in the Park




These men got a wide variety of responses..

#498 Long comfortable silences between really close friends

“Mm, want the air conditioning on or anything?”

“No, no, I’m good…”

Meat Bawls and Swuace! *Love you Susan!

Leaving Philly today and starting a 20 hour drive to good ol' KC. I am forming a plan in my head, as to what the next step may be.

10 Days of School until I graduate... crazy times.

These ladies Ooze class oh and I love them.

Hangin in there

I miss you bra!

Fuzy

"It was one of those days when it's a minute away from snowing and there's this electricity in the air, you can almost hear it. And this bag was, like, dancing with me. Like a little kid begging me to play with it. For fifteen minutes. And that's the day I knew there was this entire life behind things, and... this incredibly benevolent force, that wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid, ever. Video's a poor excuse, I know. But it helps me remember... and I need to remember... Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world I feel like I can't take it, like my heart's going to cave in."

Clarity

I love those strange moments of clarity when you realize what's most important in life.

Friends & Family

"A friend is one who believes in you when you have ceased to believe in yourself."

Thank you to all of my wonderful friends and family for everything that you do.

Al

Al.

Balance

My main goal for the next 6 weeks..
Strive for Balance throughout my life.

Well, I loved it.... I just might be hooked on that strange NYC vibe...

I think my favorite photographer that I visited with was Chris Buck. Jeff Bark was also kickass.

Everyday I'm Hustling

"When you're safe at home you wish you were having an adventure; when you're having an adventure you wish you were safe at home"
- Thornton Wilder

I am about to go to the Big Apple.keep your fingers crossed that something magical will happen.. whatever you define as magical...

Feeling Crazy

I have been feeling ill lately...

There are mice in my house, every moment that I am here I imagine them crawling all over me. I can't stand coming home... Perhaps it's time for sticky paper. What do you do with a live mouse stuck to paper? Let it die slowly? Drown it? Simply throw it out?

I am trying so hard to stay positive and not lose my head... 6.5 weeks. and counting... I am just terrified.

I TREASURE spending time with my friends here... and I am just going to miss you all so much...

Oh and I am not happy with Obama for his latest move against abortion in the new health care policy...

Flying Pages and an Abandon Psychiatric Ward

I went searching for abandoned spaces this weekend. I found this cool old house, I got in, but the light did not. However, on the side of the house I found this neato barn....
