LA - Impressions

I just got back from a trip to see my brotha in LA...What a strange place. I think I like it a lot there...

I have a portrait of everyone in my immediate family. I love these images, I am not so sure my family will. I think these images capture something that is for the most part hidden. I especially like the portraits of that my bro took of me and the few that I have of my dad, I have some cool ones of my Ma too, but she will not be a happy camper if I post them! Ah, but not to worry Ma, I have some purty images of everyone too!

^I think my bro and I have a similar shooting style




Random Other images




These images are from a 40 minute period that my bro and I visited Venice beach around dusk, the place has this amazing energy to it, almost as if you are stepping straight back into the 60s. I think I can't add anymore images on this post, so I will update in a bit with more image from Venice beach

New Stop Motion *for video contest*

The Chatham Hotel

"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.
