Steph's parents...on a lawn mower apparently.

There isn't much I can think of to say about this shot, other than it's completely absurd...and I love it.


Stephanie's parents (William and Kathy) at home in Monroe. On the lawn mower. In their back yard. After a crawfish boil. A for serious crawfish boil.

Her family is the most delightful kind of odd.

Raj, in his gas station

So I'm in Monroe for the Memorial day long weekend and there is a local business owner who shares a mutual affection for Stephanie's family. I've long heard of him but never met him—until tonight. Raj is originally from Delhi (India, not Del-High, Louisiana (they seriously call it del-high), moved to London, New York, and then middle of fucking nowhere Monroe (Swartz), Louisiana. Every time Steph asks for his story as to how he got he he just says it's a long story and won't tell it. I assume he's on the run from the law. Or is in witness protection. Or a spy. Totally a spy. (A nice spy)

Anyway. He was great and we chatted about India and food stuffs and general nonsense. I'll hang out with him again...guaranteed.


This is a digital photo of a Fuji 100C45 instant film shot. I shot a few frames of Fuji 160 color as well. Look out, Richard Photo Lab..here they come.

Day 185

I know this is horrible. Light leaks and AWFUL composition. i just wanted to commit her to film. she was brilliant.

Day 122

I'm tired and fighting off a bit of a cough.

Here is a trifecta of cute. Stephanie: cute. Sadie: cute. E.T.: creepy.

Shit..okay..this is two parts cute and one part fucked-up-weird-bodied-plastic-model-of-a-fictitious-alien.

Day 102

Day 101

So it is apparently and E.T. weekend! I also shot 4x5 today, including a portrait of E.T. as well as E.T. with Sadie the cutest ever dog.

Trying to think of other relevant information. I'm having a good time. That's about it.

Also, I've thought about shooting a series of E.T. enduring modern life. Id est, he has his house foreclosed upon or grocery shopping.

Day 005

So, it is day five it seems. Just like last year I immediately have places to go and things to do which will almost assuredly put me off schedule a bit for electric lion. I had a lovely hang out time with Tammy and Jamie tonight and look forward to getting back to africa to work on the things they create.

It was unbelievably foggy this morning and I took of my skyline. I shoot that thing all the time. You could only see to the BTW building today. Fog Fog Fog.

I also shot caleb this evening playing one of my ukes. He is already in love.

New York tomorrow. Kind of nervous.

Day 360

Day 359
