happy new year from the bodega poodle!!


bodega poodle-brooklyn, ny

hey everybody..i have work in a group show that opens this saturday, december 1st..i don't know who even looks at this blog, but if you are out there saying "hey, i do" than you should come out..it is up until the 17th of december and has some really good artists..hopefully i'll see you there!

i had a little jpg version of the invite but it doesn't seem to be uploading..most likely because firefox is garbage..anyway..here is the info!!

Think Gallery @ Think Coffee

Nov 26th to Dec 17th

these are some photos of my fathers that i recently came across as a result of moving and going through all of my stuff...my parents took a trip to italy last year and gave me a disc of the pictures that my dad took, and for some reason i never got to look at them until the other night..i should have looked at them sooner because i found these little gems!!





i've always been a fan of my fathers photography, and his were basically the first pictures i remember ever looking at..he used to shoot with an old Mamiya 35mm SLR, and now shoots with his canon powershot..i tried to tell him last night that he takes good pictures and has a good eye and sense of composition and all of that kind of stuff and he just said something like "ahhh i just point the camera at what i like"...my father is very modest and is not one to point out how talented he is..so i will..haha..he has been a teacher for close to 40 years, and now he and my mom in a little community in N.C...i would love to go through all of his old surviving negatives and make a little book out of them..might be fun..anyway..i hope you enjoyed those pictures..

thats my dad (ed faulkner) on the right, my brother tim on the bike, me with the drop-kick shirt on, and my brother brian with football...

i took a little trip to coney island and shot some color film..haven't shot much of it for a couple of years..i was pretty happy with the results but i won't be making the switch any time soon..let me know what you think..

i have been skateboarding a lot lately, and i am trying to shoot some of the skaters that hang out at the skatepark in hoboken, nj...im having a little trouble figuring out what direction to take this project, but i think i have some time to figure it all out..for now i just need to shoot!! (and skate...)

woohoo!!

well it took long enough but i finally updated my website again...it might be just a temporary update until i make a bigger and more diverse one, but we'll see..please let me know what you think..and be patient, it might take a second to load!!

i recently found this picture when i was cleaning up..i took it 5 years ago in a laundromat in albany..i like it..you should too..

i just went on my friend stewart simons' website and saw a project that he just finished called TAXI 07...it was commissioned by the Design Trust For Public Space in conjunction with the Taxi Limousine Commission and NYC in light of the centennial of the taxi in New York...it is a behind the scenes document of the taxi industry, from the body shops to the drivers themselves..its a really good body of work and whoever is looking at this blog should go look at TAXI 07 afterwards..the link to stewarts website is on the right..check it out!!

photo booth extravaganza!!
i can't take credit for the photo, but i did put the token in the slot..i must say that i love these 3 people..in the big scheme of things we really only recently started being good friends, but i feel like i have known them for a very long time..all three are amazing people and amazing artists, as well..i look forward to the good times ahead..

hello all..sorry about the long delay...there will be some new posts very soon..i swear!!
while you are waiting go outside and get some fresh air or go take a nap in the park..its springtime out there!!

sprawl-the scattered, unplanned, and unchecked expansion of a town or city into the surrounding countryside..
i was in charlotte from monday to thursday this week...i don't mean to offend anyone who lives there, but it was painful...maybe i didn't get to see as much of the city as i could have, but all it was was sprawl as far as the eye could see...i spent more time in my hotel room than i would ever care to again, and the only redeeming quality was the quality of light coming through the window in the morning(as you can see by the self portrait).it also helped that i had someone special on the other end of the phone to keep me sane, and to remind me of better days to come..

i need to see the rest of this country before it is all gone...i'm sure i've missed enough of it already..

on the road with a bag of cameras making pictures that matter to you...isn't that what life should be all about? i was talking with a friend last night about how upset we are with nyc and how it seems like we are forced to take bad pictures of a place we don't even want to be shooting in..2 more months and i am free.....

has anyone else ever felt like this?

this is one of the only couples that i actually want to stay together forever...happy belated b-day stephanie
