Rainy day shooting

Mira took me to an old state school that was shut down sometime in the 90's. I've seen so many pictures from this place it was sort of deja vue. I'm looking forward to the chromes.

Not so secrest place, but unnamed here.
because the place it out of bounds and gets burned by vandals.

a lot of the place is light-less.

I have a tendancy to collect things: paper, pictures, cardboard, knick-knacks, cameras, tools, picture frames, etc. I was organizing today and moving it all around, and I made this relization. I am most human, me personally, when I'm moving all this usefully useless stuff around. Organizing and reorganizing. I would be a fool to think that I could ever lead the austere existence of my dreams. Or maybe it's the fight between the pack-rat and the bleached underwear wearing person, that makes me human. Just a thought.

my weekend starts on thursday

Sequencing is very important in these posts. Unfortunately, the uploader is poorly organized and it reverse how it places picture, I swear it does. Anyway, I'll just live with the random order that appears. Instead of explaining each and every picture I'll just say that I had a tiring week and Thursday morning was spent in slow contemplation of our little cubby-hole apartment.










some of that works... some doesn't

Tiffany waking up in New York

I uploaded pictures from my canon A590 and remembered all the fun things that have happened to me in the past fortnight. Here's a sampling:

Dan all grimacing
Dan called a few days before and asked if I wanted to go skiing. New skis, new boots, hell yes! The sun was shining and the snow was white. The favorite trail that day was "Stump Jumper" on the south mountain. We ran it over a half dozen times.

I've been struggling in the Image and Object class at GCC. The premise in the curriculum is to combine photography and image-making with 3 dimensional sculpture or found objects or something. This was one false start to the spew of ideas pouring out of this oxymoron.

I already posted about visiting Tiara and Athea in New York around my birthday. Here's some highlights
Blurry with David and Gigi They gave us a short video performance in their studio. Check it out.

Ugly buildings, Chelsea

Train
Sycamore trees on Argyle St, Brooklyn.
There's a lot we saw and a lot we missed. That's a big city, New York. You sure could store a lot of hay in those buildings.

Buckets in the basementIn a big old house like this you don't need to go far to find fun stuff to photograph. I'd say you don't even need to leave this house to find a life-time of things to photograph. But don't tell anyone I said that.

Sometimes I get bored looking around trying to find something to take a picture of

22 Severance StOn the back burner sits a projected I'm calling the Neighborhood Project. The idea is simple and the execution is time-consuming. I hope to bring it to fruition by the middle of the summer.

That's it for now. I will try to keep abreast with events as they happen, but no promises. For now,
