Tomorrow I have another meeting with Eli Reed so expect more Mexico edits. There are new opportunities opening up for that project and I am excited. I want to put these pictures to some use, real use, for change or at least for awareness. Today I am flip floppy and hopelessly hopeful. Today I am sorry and giddy and covered with paint because I am working on a film that I will figure out how to show ya'll pieces of. And today a cool front moved in and I am welcoming change for better so lets see if I can find something that fits into that hodge-podge of ridiculousness. 
So here is another of the recent Marfa trip pictures. This one I over looked in the first round of edits but there is something omniscient and wistful about it on second look especially with the light streaks from the clouds in the top right and the road opening up directly to the viewer.
 
I have a new project idea I am going to have to recruit people for so those of you that frequent the blog I am going to be calling on you and your friends for help. I want to make a fake documentary collection of shots from the "Greater depression" (I am coining and copy-writing that phrase so don't think about it!) that didn't pan out from this stock wall street crisis which has subsided for now. I want to make some high fashion fake documentary photo pieces that will show the way my best friend and I hypothesized we would survive. This project is going to be big with equipment rental costuming and large sets so I am going to need to call on all people who have random things to contribute to be there. Excited.

Day 2


Ok start of a new project today. Give this photo a double take because it is compiled of the past and the present. Its my bed as I left it this morning and found it when I came home. More of these merges later. All the merges will be hard to disern unless the pictures are familiar to the viewer I think that is a sweet dichotomy between the artist as open and on display to the viewers and the artist and product as human, with vanity that makes them unable to be fully naked to the unknown viewer.

Day 1

So today is the first day of my big change and I was doing well until my loved ones made me watch the Sex in the City Movie and I fell all to pieces. Currently I am wallowing over a broken and confused relationship so today's theme is loss. Our subject today is this precious little fabulous kitty, barbara streisand. She was always graceful and tender even when she was annoyed that she was being smothered and teased she was loving. Although she brings up good old memories that are painful to me now, I thought she was appropriate for my start of letting go. All of these pictures were taken the day before she died thus proving how graceful and lady-like she was every day no matter how hard.




New blog campaign coming for yall soon I have a great idea.

This morning I woke up. I mean we all wake up every morning but I had be in this naive sleep a long long time. Now that I am awake I say lets be fabulous lets be ridiculous and over the top and unembarrassed about being human lets be young and make mistakes lets each just be us and be proud that we are. Lets not let people make us feel like we are less than, or that we don't deserve to be loved and cared for and thought of. Lets never be embarrassed that we can be vulnerable . So today's photography theme is over the top and dramatic.

Feeling kind of blue today and it is rainy outside so I figured we could maybe all use a pick me up? Here is some stuff that I don't know what I am going to do with yet from Marfa, Texas. For those of you who don't know Marfa is a destination spot in West Texas. Every wonderful thing you would think about the expansive overpowering west you can find on your way to or around Marfa. Also it is a thriving art town with amazing restaurants. Its where I and an old best friend would go to get recharged creatively. It has a great calming sense and strengthens my faith in wonder.



Here is a storm rolling in I think we were driving out to Fort Davis where there is amazing camp sites or maybe we were going to Alpine which is about 40 min outside of Marfa.

These two are from Balmorae park which is a natural spring with the same idea as barton springs but executed with much more finesse it is clear all the way to the bottom where you can see turtles and catfish and other little river creatures swimming around. Balmorae is about an hour from Marfa and totally worth the drive for a day trip.
