In seeking continuity between the two primary states in life there came a parallel between the two philosophies. "Be still while you work"

Paired but Distinct – Discursive Introductions

Paired but distinct – discursive introductions

A restatement of a goal shared and an illusion adopted.

This is homage to the philosophy that shaped the movement that brought me here.

Moving to New Wombats

The time has come the walrus said.



Things are wrapping up here and ramping up a mere 1200 miles away.



Here's a few places I have been hiding.

A return to Intentions

These are experiments. I regularily conduct them in my studio. I have just recently begun to share them more widely. This post marks a return to some of the intentions of this space. I often draw upon dreams in my work. These are just the begining.

Florida but without the manatees

I just got back from Florida and it was pretty sweet. 85 and sunny the whole time. Dolphins, trees, living things, fish and plenty of sand, but not a manatee in sight. Meanwhile a merciless blizzard had its way with Minneapolis, dumping tons of snow on its unsuspecting inhabitants. Im pretty sure that the blizzard gave everyone here a whopping dose of seasonal affective disorder. At any rate, the snow is going away, I have a tan for the first time in about 7 months and soon it will even be warm enough to go for a walk. Hooray for Spring!
Back to florida; It has some cheeseyness about it. The images I am posting from a test this winter remind me of Florida a bit. Either that or 70s porn. They might as well be the same thing.

Bollocks

Presently trying to get a handle on this photo business thang. I got an encouraging email from a photo editor about publishing some of my images on a prominent sexy picture website. So I sent her more images from the sets that she was psyched on. Upon rereading the email, I believe she may have actually been requesting more varied images rather than more from those sets. So I believe I may have bollocksed that up. I just spent 5 minutes trying to find the correct spelling of "bollocks" as I had bollocksed it up in the first place.

Here is a photo set which I did not bollocks up:
