And that means everything I do from now until November will be extra cool because I can’t stop thinking about cooler air, night skies/outer space, coffee, leaves, furry animals and reanimated corpses. I have a lot of outer-space-related things to share and will be doing that soon. Also, I am about 2 seconds away from switching my web host, because they suck and do not support automatic updates for wordpress so my site is slowly falling apart. When I switch I am planning a redesign. AWESOME! Stay cool, world.

Oh! Quick side note: I live in Pittsburgh now. I’m glad i like french fries.

In this shot: Emily and Bobby, two of my favorite people in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, Earth. This photograph and the two from the previous post are part of a new series I am now calling “Outer Spaces.” I have a few more to finish post-production on, so stay tuned.

and the reason is when the day seems like it will be slightly less than exciting I get out my camera and take photographs. If that is an indicator of how frequently I feel in danger of being bored then I haven’t been even close in a very long time. In fact, these are the first pieces of photographic art I have made since January 14, 2009. That is a scary long time, but I was getting interested in other things. I am feeling pretty good about these two, so maybe I’ll make some more. I mean, I should probably use that degree I spent decades getting every once in a while.

Some of you may recognize these flowers from a previous project, completed during my second photography course some four-ish years ago. I sewed them out of fabric from an old t-shirt and gave them wire armatures on a Saturday night during the spring semester of my 3rd year. I know this because I was listening to smooth, sexy R&B songs on the radio. I really do miss listening to Super Soul Saturday. Anyway, here are some new creations.

“Closed-System”

“Basic Flowers”

Due to file size limitations I cannot upload a version of the flower composite that I feel is of adequate dimension. So I am posting each part of the triptych separately.

I photographed the EUP Print Club’s Exquisite Corpse Set. There will be more info on it soon enough.

I finished up two more photographs featuring my cameras. Top: kodak brownie hawkeye Bottom: busch 4×5 pressman, sold as tower 4×5 pressman (on loan from cassie staub)
