| The Flaming Lips in Hotlanta |
[Aug. 28th, 2009|05:10 pm] |
Due to a curious series of events, I was allowed to photograph my favorite band, The Flaming Lips from the stage. It was a pretty spectacular experience at a time when I am going through a lot.

my father's tumor is gone. Surgery went well. If you have any more interest in the situation, just talk to me. I will tell you all the details. New York has been an interesting experience. I come home in a few hours.
goodbye big city living. |

I hate going to school.
I recently was promoted to team lead at toys r us. I manage the electronics department. This basically means I sell pokemon shit to kids and creepy adults.
My dad has a surgery coming up in a few days that might change all of my family members lives forever.
I enjoy my radio show.
I went to harvest of hope. It was a lot of fun.
I love my girlfriend.
I have a folder on my computer titled life that chronicles my fathers decline in health. It has 3,652 pictures in it. It is quite possibly one of the most ambitious things I have ever done.

My father has throat cancer. It was a rather large tumor and its really taken quite a bit out of him in the most recent months. He was diagnosed in november and it really has been a struggle for the entire family. He can't speak for now and quite possibly never again. I have been taking photos of him every day. I only have a few that I am willing to share at this point. I have the intention to eventually put them together in a portfolio of sorts. One or two of these are kind of graphic.

I want to photograph every item on this planet. Then paste each photo onto its corresponding subject. That way we are living in a world that is truly based on only fractions of a second. |

Tune into 91.5FM WPRK on sunday at 4 in the morning till 7. We all know you will be up. Okay, maybe not. Its the only slot we could get. By we, I mean matt neff and I. Expect lots of good music. Like the naked brothers band. No joke. Okay, minor joke. We are in safe harbor for two hours too. So we dont have to censor what we play. Which is awesome. So wake up with us! We need people to listen to at least our first show. |

My brother stole my dream car. I have been wanting a type III squareback for two years now. He decided he wanted one the other day and my parents bought it for him. Huge bummer. But no sense in complaining! because he knows nothing about them and wants me to figure out all the restoration work on it. Plus, I get to drive it whenever he isn't.

It is done! Christmas On Mars is done and playing at bonnaroo. I am totally willing to spend hundreds of dollars on a ticket and then hundreds more on travel expenses to see this. I could also hang out with a bunch of corporate hippies and metallica fans! |

| blood |
[Apr. 15th, 2008|07:09 pm] |
I have been working on an art project that involves fake blood. its not anywhere near completion. I did some experiments with different blood spray that looked pretty cool though. I need input though.
 this one is a lot like a major artery stab wound. just a gross splat with no real precision. Also, I added an almost wave of blood. Three separate squirts. As if the veins were still pumping out blood.
 this one is meant to somewhat simulate projected spray on a flat and level surface. No dripping really. there is also passive blood stains. just splatters and slashing. Maybe what a filleting would look like on the floor?
 This one matt helped out with quite a bit. Lots of passive stains. As well as arterial spray.
tomorrow I am going to experiment further. I need to make darker blood I think. this batch was a bit too red. Its really funny to be standing outside in the road spraying down huge blood stains with a hose while wearing an apron covered in blood. Neighbors like it! |

Dear Henri Cartier-Bresson,
I just wanted to thank you for all of the amazing inspiration you have given me in these past few days. I have always seen and loved your work, but for the first time I really started to soak it in. During the beginning of this process of immersion, I lost all faith in myself. I thought to myself that your pictures, your ability, your eye, these were all of the things that would be my ultimate goal in achieving. I felt really unoriginal after realizing that I had just been trying to emulate you, even if I hadn't really known it. After further introspection, I came to the realization that your work isn't necessarily something that can be emulated. It is, in itself, an emulation. An emulation of life in its most pure and instantaneous form. This is so utterly inspiring that I don't even know where to begin. So for this, I thank you.
really,
steve. |
