It’s October

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.

Untitled

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.

I’ve never been bored

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.

CORPSES!!

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

2 More Friends

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)

Me + My Friends

I have started documenting the cameras I own. I am trying to keep them fresh and entertaining and I still have a couple more to get to. I’m not sure if they will all make the move with me so this seems like an appropriate way to bid them farewell.

Here’s a triptych of some shots that didn’t quite make the cut.

Desert Sweat…

Michael — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 15:20:21 +0000

Last night I finished album art for the forthcoming Circumstance digital EP, My Very Own Desert Sweat Party!, a Sweat Party! exclusive release. The release date has not been set as of yet, but expect it in the near future.

Expect much more frequent posts after I move this Friday.

My box…

I put the finishing coat of wood preserving wax on this box I made. It is constructed of 25 pieces of walnut. I know you want one.

A quick note.

Some changes on this site have occurred this morning. I changed the names two of the portfolios and also added another gallery to the photography portfolio page. The gallery contains all the images from a book I had made for a photography class in school.

Here are the front and back covers. The rest of the book can be found on the photography portfolio page.

Over

These are photos I took yesterday of an installation sculture in a private residence by Bobby. I sanded an enormous amount of those pieces of wood with a hand sander. This wall took up almost all of the first few weeks I was in Philadelphia. It has been done for about a month, but I am glad to have photographed because now I can forget about it and move on. I love how it turned out, but I have too many memories of woogers.

Perverted woods

I took photographs of a couple of Bobby‘s sculptures today while I was working in the studio. I also started sketching out some ideas for more pieces like the one in the previous post. Maybe this is the start of a mini-series. Who knows?

Here are a few shots from today:
