This image, from a trip to NYC in 2004 Seven years ago today, my mother was sitting beside me in a tiny pre-op room the size of a closet. It was uncomfortably early. I was there for a re-staging biopsy. She was there for support. I lay there worried about the potential scar I was […]

Ass of truck diptych I figure if I make enough of these snapshots they’ll become a set and then it’ll seem purposeful and artistic. But on the other hand, I suppose this shot-gun approach lacks intention. It’s the difference between manslaughter and murder. In other news, we’re going to San Diego tomorrow, and I’m hoping […]

brings out all the dust on the faux wood table I’ve found the secret to keeping the glass more than half full: Refill, often.

Tom has this tool in the studio. It fascinates me. [ + zoom ] None of these links open in a new window. It’s softly raining outside and I’m flipping through the channels, semi brain-dead from a productive day. (this entry, written at 3:30am) I see what’s on the DVR, fast forwarding to get to […]

The following April I would start including a photo for most days—formatted in an arbitrary rectangle so it would fit on the screen with some […]

compensating for poor exposure and blasting out the image (this, of a truck trailer) Walked into a store this evening to pick up twine and a USB cable. End up staring at bargain bins of holiday DVDs. I don’t need these. A mother yells at kids while carrying conversation on her mobile phone. Every customer […]

(insert Sanford & Son theme) Stoplight on the main drag in Hamilton, OH Well I didn’t quite hit every day of the month with a journal entry—I mean, blog entry. But after Project Menswear last night, I went to the bed exhausted from their challenge. I didn’t actually sleep right away as I was rolling […]
