Making Things Work

i’m really not much of a tinkerer. i don’t have my own soldering iron and i had to borrow one from my dad for this project. but i do like understanding how things work and the simple fact is this is so very simple, it was foolish not to do it myself. i recently boughtContinue reading “Making Things Work”

Expectant

i’ve spent the past 3-or-so years photographing the female form. tall women, some skinny, some curvy. i’ve seen some of them change, get more tattoos, cut their hair, and threaten to retire. i’ve shot in waterfalls, deserts, the high sierras, and abandoned buildings of all sorts. about the only thing i haven’t done is workedContinue reading “Expectant”

What’s That

for today, just a little poem that i’ve always loved. it always seems to capture me and i guess i just seek it out when i need it most. enjoy. What’s That Before it came inside I had watched it from my kitchen window, watched it swell like a new balloon watched it slump andContinue reading “What’s That”

Chaos Theory

a colleague at my day-job recently set his communicator status (the nearest thing we’ve got to a facebook stream in the office) to a quote from a fortune cookie. normally they’re just rubbish and often poorly translated adages. but this one struck a particular chord with me. “Before the beginning of great brilliance, there mustContinue reading “Chaos Theory”

On Becoming Small

when i was in high school i played in the band. it was great fun learning to play an instrument and eventually i had what i thought was enough experience to begin basic forms of improvisation. it was fun and when it was done well while everyone else was playing a piece straight, it soundedContinue reading “On Becoming Small”
