To be an artist
To be an artist you have to give up everything, including the desire to be a good artist… – Clayton Cubitt I have to agree with this. It’s not to say that you shouldn’t want to be good. But it shouldn’t be the ‘why’ of you doing something. I see Continue Reading

Crush old American-made cars. Display them in a vast empty factory that formerly employed those Americans, on a property footprint that could house thousands of them. Charge them twice their minimum wage to view. Forbid them to take photographs of any of it. Position guards every 50 feet to monitor Continue Reading

Next Year
Resolutions, goals, whatnot. What do I want to do or get from the coming year. I’ll publish a photo book. I don’t know what theme there will be yet. Lots of possibilities. But I want to do something new with my photographs. So I will put together a book, and Continue Reading

Style
While overall, I can be drawn to a photo for many reasons, there are some obvious trends in my favorite photos (taken by other photographers); as seen by looking at my favorites on Flickr.

May 2011 Latex Shoot
I did another one of the Latex Body Paint photo shoots, last weekend. Wonderful model… good time. I was told the privacy standard this time was basically “the model doesn’t want to be recognizable”. So I’m posting one of the few photos without a face in it. Click below to Continue Reading

Just a quick update on the Faces Project. It is still alive and well. It was originally scheduled to be done by now. I gave people a month to write their stories. We had about 9 participants. But at the deadline, only 3 people had gotten me their stories. Life Continue Reading

Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe
I love this photo. Came across it a while back on Tumblr. It was taken by Gerard Malanga, of Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe. I hadn’t known until I heard an NPR Fresh Air interview with Patti Smith, that the two of them were a couple at one point in Continue Reading

Artist and Audience

Katie West
Things like this are why I love Katie West’s work. Normally she’s known as a self-portrait photographer; but she expresses herself so well in any format she chooses. This appeals to me both directly if not exactly, and in wanting a woman who thinks like this. How I choose my Continue Reading

sketch
Sat in on an art class at the Torpedo Factory, last week. Mostly tried to keep quiet in the back of the room, so as to not remind the teacher I hadn’t paid to be there. Did some sketches while I was there, though. Better than I expected, after so Continue Reading
