I'll Be Returning When I Can
Was down in Palo Alto for the period of time that most people spend stressing about their family and gifts and traveling and their diet and whatever else. I mostly slept and played with a remote control helicopter.
Most photo time (photo thought really) is getting dedicated to my book. I did make a bunch of progress today! Lonesome crosses and mailboxes and suchlike. Climbing all over my town. Wonder if I'll ever get hassled by johnny law for my photographic proclivities..
Until next time friends!

I went to a black metal show and all I got was this lousy hearing loss.
Blogger likes to shove
all of my photos and text
into the middle.
It makes me feel like everything I write is a haiku, though I must admit it looks pretty good.
Went to San Francisco this past weekend to catch a black metal show. Got to see my old favorites Ash Borer and Fell Voices. I even bought some Ash Borer merchandise because I felt bad for those many times I got into their shows without paying. Velnias was there too, in all their candle lit glory. The band pictured is Lycus.
It was crushingly loud experience and I came away fully satisfied.
GOOD TIMES ALL AROUND AND I HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO SAY BUT THIS;
Those two dudes gathered around the Ms. Pac Man table look damn incongruous don't they just?

SUPER HAPPY SACCHARIN FUN ZONE ULTRA MUSTACHE HOUR
Portraits of severe looking old men do not mix well with action shots of kids playing. But that is what I took photos of today so DEAL.
I'm teaching a photography class at a charter school in Tahoe. We don't have cameras (I brought my own today) so the class invariably devolves into art/PE. And that's fine. Each day has a specific country that we focus on, so after viewing and discussing shots of New Zealand we went outside and I told the kids to find things for me to take photos of, the catch being that they have to direct me. Lots of loaded questions on my part.
These kids are rad. Hard to get kindergarteners to sit still for more than five photos, but whatever.
I think we'll turn a classroom into a camera obscura next week.
The old dude was at a rest area I stopped at. Chugged a carbonated caffeine drink, turned around and saw his majestic hair sculpture.
Had to ask.

Things Have Looked Like This For Awhile
Recent photos.
Snap shots really. I realized that recently.
A few weeks ago I started working with my favorite professor again, long distance.
It felt a little uncomfortable and strange developing a concept and going through the motions of working on images, seeing how they feel.
I realized that No Not Though is mostly snap shot type photography.
Which is fine.
But it's good to struggle for the work to satisfy me.
I edited some of these in the messed-with-so-that-it-looks-like-faded-slides way.
Because I hadn't done that before and some of the photos looked old to me.
So there.

9-09-2011 Gold Country Fair
These are all from various events and times at the GOLD COUNTRY FAIR in Auburn. I was their official photographer! Badge and errythang. Though a tall, hairy man with camera equipment strapped to him doesn't exactly blend in at the fair. Quite challenging to get the candid stuff that I'm always after.
Pretty fun though. Got me out of the house a lot. I also took a bunch of audio samples there that I am going to combine with the photographs to make an audio slideshow. Kinda a hybrid between video and still imagery. I think it helps your mind imagine the scene, to fill it out better. I'll finish that sometime this week.

Some Time Ago: The Beastmaster Fears No Balloon
These photos are from a birthday party. A birthday party for THE BEASTMASTER.
I drank cheap beer form a RED PLASTIC CUP because alcohol is NOT ALLOWED at that park. It was STYLIN.
Then I JAMMED my thumb playing TWO HAND TOUCH FOOTBALL. Which is why I haven't taken ANY photos since then.
