Potential rebirth of this silly place

2011-11-13T20:48:00.002-07:00

This semester of school has permitted little time for things like blogging. I think my eyes might fall out before it is over, but should they not I will be back. Soon. I think. I hope. I know how much you care. Maybe. Maybe I'll just use my tumblr. Maybe I should just, you know, take a nap. Hm.

Internet

2011-10-06T07:33:00.001-07:00

I have a web site now.

I forgot how useful this thing is for putting off real things.

Chicago, part two: Weather, art, and consumption. Not necessarily in that order.

Chicago, part one: Enter Deckert, Exit Deckert

Leg three: Tons of sprawl!!!!

2011-06-23T09:48:00.012-07:00

Leg two: In Colorado I had the overwhelming urge to photograph grocery store parking lots.

2011-06-23T09:32:00.008-07:00

Leg one: Leaving is easy when you've got someplace you need to be.

And then I ran some errands.

2011-05-18T09:11:00.003-07:00

A week's worth of group photos and some stuff. Then school ended and I went to Bisbee.

Still not sure I understand this whole 'photography' thing

2011-04-23T23:28:00.002-07:00

NOT MANY THINGS HAPPENING!

2011-04-20T16:18:00.005-07:00

That said, here are the pictures of the things that have been happening.

Every blog post needs Tucson

2011-03-30T21:17:00.007-07:00

Somehow all this makes perfect sense. Either that or my brain is melting.

2011-03-21T09:34:00.014-07:00

Yesterday this piece of string on the ground said hello.

A Conversation (Paraphrased)

2011-03-07T08:49:00.004-07:00

Me: Hey look at this picture I took.

Charles: Hmm...

Me: Oh wait, no, it goes like this.

Charles: Oh. Now I don't like it. Now it looks like Grover.

I have a new hobby, and it is dumb!

This tangle of chairs is part of the reason I've been missing updates.

2011-02-19T15:12:00.003-07:00

Updates soon.

Does putting pictures on here count?

Field Work

2011-01-22T10:41:00.007-07:00

I've been on hand the past few days helping Ellie as she installs her MFA thesis show, Field Work: A Travelling Exhibition, at ASU's Harry Wood Gallery. I have taken a ton of pictures (good excuse to not lift things), and though I am going to pass most of them along to Eleanor I could not resist posting a few here. The installation is shaping up to be one of the most exciting I have seen at ASU and will definitely be worth your time. Details are here.

College started again this week

2011-01-20T07:19:00.005-07:00

Since I study photography it makes perfect sense that I have only taken one picture the whole time.

Man, my white balance was way off there for a second.

Out of the Blue

2011-01-10T15:01:00.008-07:00

A few years ago I dabbled in some cyanotyping while studying under Carol Panaro-Smith. Recently Carol invited me to participate in a cyanotype-specific exhibition, Out of the Blue, at a new artspace in Gilbert. I am quite happy for the opportunity. The reception is Saturday, January 22 at 7pm, click here for more details.

The last post was called "Everything is back to normal." This post is called "Things have changed."

2011-01-09T20:00:00.001-07:00

Figure out why.

Everything is back to normal, whatever that means

Thanks to everyone who came out and to the folks at Jones for arranging things! These pictures are by no means comprehensive, but they are a decent overview.

Also, I have provided an option for you Tumblr types.

Errands are fun, and funny!

This is actually happening.

Scouting

2010-11-28T17:09:00.002-07:00

I've been driving all over town with a view camera. Here are some things I saw while doing that, as well as some other things I saw while doing other things.

The primary intent of this blog post is to prove a point.

What.

2010-11-13T23:37:00.005-07:00

Sometimes being in school requires doing silly things.

2010-11-10T11:16:00.003-07:00

One of those silly things, in my case, is making a stop-motion video using an action figure of myself.

Ridiculous.

There was this one time that the parking lot outside the photo building was unintentionally a movie set

2010-10-16T11:21:00.006-07:00

Here are the pictures of the things.

Really really serious political photography

2010-10-12T11:31:00.004-07:00

It is really really serious.

The picture in this picture is not a picture of me.

2010-10-11T17:10:00.003-07:00

It can't be. I don't own that shirt and I never held that thing.
