photographing the personality, not the person

More of attacking myself.

sometimes we are our own worst enemy. some visually fun looks at this concept.

Perfect - Fred Holland

I ran into this at the MCA in chicago.
And made this video.
I enjoyed it very much.

the death of the white pages

it is entirely likely that this will be the last time i ever have a traditional land line.
i feel a sort of nostalgic connection to this obsolete technology. if the telephone companies had not spent so much money and time maintaining this archaic wired communication system we would have let it die long ago.
the death of the white pages as we have known them is upon us. social communities such as facebook will be the only way to find contact information for my generation.
it's odd.

spare time with spare photos.

leftover from that project.

focused on the middle

my mind works like a camera lens.
it has a decent depth of field.
However, the tasks clearly in focus
(in my mind)
tend to result in greater successes.

a fleeting thought before sleep.

an idea

We live in a technology infused want-it-now society. Existing under the assumption that this web based instant world we have created is good for us. People expect everything to be instantaneous, easy to understand and abundantly available. Silence and taking on one task at a time seems to terrify the youth of this generation, myself included. We have forgotten how to play and create, even how to truly appreciate.
Our visual and auditory systems are so over stimulated that if we are not hooked within seconds we move on. This applies to music, art, food, relationships and so and so forth. A life of serious contemplation and enjoyment seems to be a thing of a past. I have lost focus. I want to attempt to rewire my contemporary multitasking mind. I am going to focus in one idea that I would normally let slip past.
I want to take a moment to appreciate the fun little visual experiences that can only be found after the sun sets. The shadows and blurred lights that surround us as we travel to-and-fro at night intrigued my new detail oriented perspective. About the lights and shadows that swim past our peripheral vision. This project is about folly and slowing down. It is about appreciation of what the night has to offer.

tired days followed by tireless nights

when time just won't add up
and the hours slip past
the mind plays tricks
adjectives are lost
and descriptors hide in shadows

for a class

i miss that hour of sun light was taken away quickly today.

because it tasted good in tahoe.
