On Physics and Fugazi

I was online today purchasing some sort of Age-Defying, Youth Enhancing, Wrinkling Asskicking moisturizer. I am 26 years old and am just starting to see the beginnings of lines on my face that are eventually going to mature into wrinkles. Full-on panic-mode… ENGAGE. It’s been a decade since I bought my first car – a blue 1972 [...]

The Heitmann Gallery

I was contacted recently by the lovely Cassi Heitmann about having a display of my prints for sale in the Heitmann Gallery. Of course I jumped at the opportunity, so beginning tomorrow, Friday April 3rd, and for at least the next three months, I will have a display there. It’s a gorgeous gallery space and [...]

Best. Day. Ever.

Well, 2009 is off to a fantastic start. I just had the most kickass birthday weekend ever, Barack Obama is being inaugurated today, and now this: Polaroid is transforming itself from an analog Instant Film Production Company to a global Consumer Electronics and Digital Imaging company.

The only rule is that everything must be free, legal and appropriate for all ages. It’s an almost completely green system in that nothing [...]

A Rose is a Rose is a Rose

When I was little, my Grandmother lived with my Parents and me, and she used to plant rose bushes. I remember her careful pruning and her constant battles to keep the beetles and aphids away. When she died in 1994, my mother tended the garden but some things fell by the wayside, including a few [...]

Obligatory and Slightly Awkward First Post

Why hello there! It’s late, I have to be up early, and quite frankly I don’t have much to say at the moment. I suppose that’s not something that an aspiring blogger should admit to, is it? The truth is that I have a lot of things to say, and I’ve created this website so [...]
