Day 324

a pleasant surprise today was running into bryan and caleb who were outside having a clove. i joined them in the cold and we chatted. this weather is pretty awesome.

Day 311

here is bryan from a couple of days ago.

random aside: i sometimes get paranoid that im going to type "electric lion" as "electric loin" which REALLY has a different meaning.

i'm trying to think of great ways to finish off the first year of electric lion in a way that seems fitting. a book perhaps. a gallery event, if modest. print sale perhaps where you (all 9 of you) can order your favorites from the year. that one seems a bit narcissistic. im paranoid about narcissism.

any ideas from you all?

i'd really love feedback.
thanks

Day 276

there isn't much one can say about this.

Day 268

Day 170

sepia schmepia.

Day 129

By the way I have not given up I am just in the absolute middle of nowhere for mothers day and effectively have no real access. Consider this a place holder for the weekend. I have been shooting though. Thats the important part. In fact today while shooting my granddad and sister working the bees. Yep. Working the bees. I need to get a great shot of my gdad while I am here. Note to self: do that.



[ED]

back in town, have film..expecting more soon. AND I shot Lots this mothers' day weekend. 100% pumped about everything i shot. all family.

okay so here's beeje. trying to look intense and brooding maybe. who knows

Day 128

i think to try to explain this would do it some injustice.

Day 070

[more words later]

Day 063

Day 045

senior portrait of bryan. so, so, so bad.

Day 033

the photo i took today may end up being really boring but i was compelled to take it nonetheless. a while back i had an incidental conversation with the guy who owns the property on which The Garage operates and it seems he used to be a an architect or some such and was responsible for building what ended up being the first gay and lesbian church (his words...i dont know exactly what that means). anyone familiar enough with this city would probably know it at site. its the crazy looking, blue, a-frame church on montclair as you approach the backside of crestline. anyway...they are tearing it down though i couldnt say i know why. most of its gone and the 40 foot section of blue ribcage that is left is strangely upsetting. it seems so dramatic to be sticking so far up in the air in the middle of plowed-down dirt and cleared trees like a beached whale picked clean or a burnt down shanty town. i dont really know anything about the place other than hearing this one guys story but it was enough to at least make me notice the building's destruction. either way its what i shot today.

on to today's post. today will be a rare occasion where there are two photos. the first is today's actual shot and the second is for bryan so he can write his Super Bowl blog entry using either / both of the shots

sküp (bryan's brother, phil) and beeje recently got amazing, small "replicas" of nfl helmets. heres an old school style shot of them posing with the ball (for no apparent reason), as well as sküp in the car, looking a bit too intense and long-faced. also note that the beverage in his hand is a La Croix.

Day 027

today i went back over to bryan's and played more Cross Street Baker's Dozen, which is a game we made up. Jeremiah stopped by and played with us and i shot a roll throughout the afternoon.

so in that spirit i thought i'd post a photo from the day we invented the game. thats sküp and bryan on the right and mister toad on the sidewalk.
