I felt it was far away; even if it was near

More more more more more! I am so fucking excited about these pictures!

I am not really into pictures of people smoking because they seem pretty self-indulgent and silly but I love this one because he looks so natural and comfy.

WOW!!! I just got 5 rolls worth of prints from Pro Photo in Portland and I have finally decided: they do the best fucking job printing color!!!! Check out their site, they are a lot cheaper then any place on the east coast even including the cost of shipping and the color is so intense and gorgeous. I only felt like scanning one round of prints today so please check back for more in the next few days. These pictures are from when Marissa came to visit me in Portland in spring. My favorites are the ones at night of the trees. THE COLORS!! I am really happy with these pictures so I hope you enjoy them.

It's too bad my camera didn't advance properly because these are really cool pictures individually but I guess this is kinda cool.


I couldn't have summed you up better than that.

My friend Nick  made this out of one of my photos and I think it merits a posting. I am lucky to have such great people in my life.

Listen to Niki Berger! She played at Meat Towne a few months ago and she is fucking amazing!

Man it has been a while. Unfortunately I don't even have much to show for. I have been working too much blah blah blah life happens. On the bright side, I NOW HAVE A DARKROOM IN MY BASEMENT!!! My neighborhood gave me all of the equipment and I just built myself a little space down there. If anyone wants to learn how to print photos come over! I have a couple of prints from there but I am still working out the kinks so I wouldn't really consider them finished prints. A couple of them didn't get washed properly so the fixer burned some yellow spots onto them so that is why they look a bit spotty. It looks kinda cool in person though. I also have some pictures taken on a disposable camera from Maine and a few lackluster color pictures from summer happenings. All of the black and whites were taken on my train ride from Oregon to NJ. Without further ado:

Black & Whites

Those first three were taken during a 30 minute smoke break in Shelby, Montana. As I was taking a picture of the dead goose a man sporting a Fu Manchu mustache and a cowboy hat walked over and said "Thas 'bout all there is to see in Shelby." I think he was right.

This one was taken from the door of the train as I was passing through North Dakota. I made the frame by cutting a square out of a piece of floral fabric and laying it over the paper as I exposed the print.


Those two were taken at the City Museum in St. Louis. I could not discribe this place in a way that could do it a shred of justice so I wont even try. Just know this: It is a massive playground for people of all ages and it is built out of reclaimed construction materials and junk from the city. Check out their website and if you are ever in STL you will be doing yourself a massive injustice if you don't visit. I will be posting more pictures from my visit to the museum as I print them.
