I am officially back although unoffically i am still lost in my head.So this wil of course be short and simple.
Mexico was great, not great as in when a co workers asks you how your day is going but great as in the Tony the Tiger great way.
I havent even attempted to process film or download any pictures yet.But it wouldnt matter casue i still havent figured out how to post them here anyway.All though I do have some neato stories involving, scorpions, bats, heat rashes, naked men, gat naked men, yoga, dolphins and of course all my maybe made up stories about the staff. I am alas too tired to write it all down , just yet.
My tiredness has limited my ability to do much these last few days.Tiredness followed by that little thing i like to call...morning sickness.yep folks you heard it here, that big announcement I was talking about earlier has finally slipped out of my mouth.I will be having one of those soft little creatures montsh from now December 4th to quote the lady who stuck a rather large cold metal pole up my ,you now what area, to give it a good measure to determine the date. have however vowed to not become one of those people that writes of nothing but baby stuff caus ei couldnt be as funny as Dooce, although given my maturity level at times there will be posts about poop casue you all know a good poop and fart story is too hard to pass on.
I have exactly 4 weeks to pull an new series out of my you know what..and produce 6- 8 amazing images for a show at the end of May. My brain is struggling with ideas as i either think they're too good for this place to show or not good enough.
However this weekend will be filled with music and Monday is my birthday.
I will get back into the swing of things as soon as i can manage to hold some food down and some thoughts in my head

oh the shame
I know, I know I have been horrible at posting lately but I have been so busy with projects and work and now I am leaving tomorrow for a holiday so I will be gone a week or so. However I do promise that when I return I will be more forthright in my communication skills . Until then I will leave you with a few morsels..Congratulations to SWI, who had a killer review in the Willamette Weekly for his show last week.
Does this mean he will focus more on painting? I hope so, I would be curious to see how he advances in this form of art rather then the conceptual. I have fingers crossed for his lady friend that she too will experience something of the same nature in a review of sorts, as she has been working relentlessly on a project that I think Is actually quite..I don't want to say charming cause that is not the word but never the less it's good ..at least from her writing telling me about it.
When I return from Mexico I have to do a series of photos for a show at the Crescent. This is not a place I would normally show at but I figured it at least gives me a deadline and a project and a goal to focus on and well something to do an hopefully sell so I can make some money to fund my short film ideas..hee hee.
The Velvet Prison is getting worse and I find myself waking up watch morning hoping that today will be the day that whilst driving aload of cherries falls onto my car off the back of a big rig, causing me to crash but of course not get seriously injured .The company is so upset they reward me with not only a life supply of cherries but a big old fat check that enables me to break out of the velvet prison and live the life of a well to do person who gets to shop at Trader Joes and Whole foods without breaking the bank..
Speaking of grocery stores..Sunday I ran into my enemy .I haven't seen this person in almost a year. I have been able to avoid them because we were separated by many freeways.But low and behold there they were in my local store, what the??? A little detective work and I discovered that the enemy has moved down the street from me.Fucking people and their "lifestyles" how fucking cliche of the enemy to move down the street just across the imaginary tracks into the yuppy hills . Now this leads me to ponder what will I do for food, risk running into the enemy again (they didn't see me Sunday but oh boy I saw them) or should I now have to travel 15 minutes out of my way to shop somewhere else. Cause frankly I have no idea what words would spew out of my mouth if we actually "bumped" into each other. I mean the words could be damaging to ones ear drums and very unhealthy and if I dont say it first i know the enemy might say it anyway..or worse....PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE behaviour.For fucks sake!
ok quickly..
reading: An American Boy , just odered...Edgar Allen Poe as a boy, Brilliant
Listening too: Gabriel Faure his requiem..quite possibly the only piece of classical music ever to make me cry
watching: ok I will admit it, I am addicted to Lost.I'll tell you what though if those beasts turn out to be aliens. I swear I will write a complaint letter.
ok off for now..can I just quickly mention ... roadtrip anyone..I am so there. who doesn't want to celebrate I believe it happens June 4-6th

Wake Up
Been working on numerous projects all at once. Some in the head some,others actually with the hands.
At first I thought I would keep them all to myself and then share later when finished . The I thought what would be the point of that,some of these ideas may never see the light of day so I should share and in a way I guess cast my flag.
I have a flag , do you have a flag? I claim these ideas, belong to me.Not really as I am sure they have been done over and over.
Rememebr in grade school when your class did those experiments where you would write your name and address on a postcard along with a little message that read
"this is a class experiment,if you find this please write your name
and where you are from and send back"
Then you would put this postcard in a helium balloon and the whole class would release hundreds of balloons , or in the case of my class 23 students.
Then you would wait till you got apostcard back and whenever anyone would get one back you would take a tack and pin it in the map wherever it came from...remember that?
Well one of my ideas is to send out disposable cameras into the world and ask people to photograph there day and then send back to me .Huh? Huh? what do you think? send me your address, I will send you a camera...
Ok then I had this idea that I would redo cd covers and go into music stores and replace their covers with mine.Cause lets be honest, there are some bad covers out there and I think old Britney needs a new look.Although I could only do this with used cd's I think it would still be something that could be done .This could be a very lengthy convert operation that needs a nifty undercover name. Like : Operation freedom..oh wait that is taken..I will take any suggestions as well as any wing men.
I've started a series on Body Scars,large 5x4 feet images of peoples bodies and the scars they have.
Creating fake movie posters
As well as starting , finally my "Popcorn and Candy" photographs, which is the examining of today's popculture and media, what we see, is it real or false,is a picture really "worth a thousand words".
Had a long discussion last night about how if I will ever become digital. Debate is on and at this time I am losing the battle with commercialism in photography. What pays my bills and enables me to shoot my silly self projects, commercial photography. It's just so damn clean and nice and pretty and flawless...the opposite of me and life.
Film project I am working on is beginning to drive me crazy... all the writing making it seem...well seamless
Taking emails from friends and making then read as one big long conversation amongst strangers at a bar. One long flowing conversation all from the scattered thoughts of emails..
Big news to be announced soon, just have to make sure it's final before saying anything though.Making sure all the T's are crossed and all that.Dont want to jump the gun.But I will announce .
listening to:
The Bravery
Arcade Fire
Keren Ann
Reading:
A bunch of chick lit.for some reason. I need a break from reading heavy things so why not read about woman who are successful in life but not in love..Besides I'm leaving for Mexico in two weeks and bringing with me a huge book..an actually Biography as well.So I need the fluff first to rest my brain...Don't mock me,stop judging me.
Watching:
The world of Apu , the trilogy
The River
Old John Ford Films
Waiting for this film and of course this film and lets not forget this as well and heck while I'm at it , I do want to see this now
