these are a couple of photos from my last trip out to l.a...we went out to shoot z.z. top for john varvatos..it was a blast..one of the places we went to was "tel's barber shop"..this place was pretty cool..tel ran the place and he and his 2 sons were the three barbers..i think if i was going to get a haircut i would fly out there and have tel do it..

new camera..

so i just got a new instant camera, and i'm hoping they continue to make the film for it..took these this morning on the way into the city..the camera is ugly as hell but the pictures look just how i want them to..so i've got that going for me...which is nice..

hatch show print-nashville, tn

here's another photo from hatch in nashville..some old time medicine show posters..

2008-11-15T12:37:00.000-08:00

well it's been a while so i decided it was time to update this thing..i just scanned a bunch of photos from the summer and will probably start posting them regularly...maybe...what i really need to do is start shooting again...i have kind of been feeling like this photo lately..hurtling forward through the darkness towards the blurry unknown..so we'll see how that goes..

2008-06-25T19:31:00.000-07:00

this is a photo from a place in nashville that i visited with gary last week called "hatch show print"...i think its the oldest letter press in america and was founded i think in 1876..we got a tour from Jim, the guy who runs the place..he was really nice and told us the whole history..after the tour he kind of cut us loose to go explore..it was amazing!!
they still have all of the original letters and characters and stuff..it was pretty intense..
this first photo is of some of thier clients..i think they take the tape of of the frame when they are done making the posters and just slap them on the wall..there were about 5 more of these walls!!
i will post more as they get scanned..
...thanks to josh goleman for helping me scan this and color correct it (or whatever you do to a b+w image)..he is a damn genius and a wiz and an all around great dude/artist..check out his work..theres a link to him the right..look!!!

2008-05-25T19:15:00.000-07:00

well this doesn't really have anything to do with photography, but it is pretty relevant to what is going on in the world today...it's a messed up place right now and pretty depressing, too..i've ben listening to this song more and more recently and i can't stop..it came out in '71, and the fact that it is completely relevant right now, and probably will be forever, is crazy..check out the words and the video and try to treat eachother kindly..i'm trying to do that..it doesn't always work but i think i'm gonna try my best from now on...we'll see.........

.children of the grave-black sabbath.
Revolution in their minds - the children start to march
against the world in which they have to live
and all the hate that's in their hearts.
They're tired of being pushed around
and told just what to do.
They'll fight the world until they've won
and love comes flowing through.

Children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall today.
Will the sun rise up tomorrow bringing peace in any way?
Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear?
Can they win the fight for peace or will they disappear?

So you children of the world,
listen to what I say..
If you want a better place to live in
spread the words today.
Show the world that love is still alive
you must be brave!
Or you children of today are
Children of the grave

okay so i just got yelled at to update this thing with a photo, too, since i was here and logged on and blah blah..this is a pretty new photo i made of a musician for a record company..his name is ken and he is a pretty nice dude..hopefully i'll get to shoot him and his band some more..i think they are moving to brooklyn pretty soon so that increases my chances..anyway..its more color work which i promised about 4 months ago......................... does anyone look at this thing?

new project...

2008-05-04T09:27:00.000-07:00

hello out there to anyone who looks at this old blog of mine..
so...i have a new project i would like to share with all of you..i kind of noticed that there were a ton of blogs out there dedicated to fine art photography/photographers, but not so many that were showcasing documentary work..with that thought in mind i decided to start "the personal document"..it is a new bi-monthly documentary photo showcase open to any photographer that has a documentary project that they want to get out there..
so go take a look at it and tell me what you think..the first post is a good one!!

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..

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..

2007-02-28T05:18:00.000-08:00

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.....
