Kerrilynn and I went to Rockaway yesterday. It was a bright day and that West Coast looking filter-y yellow light I love was very much alive as the sun was setting. The best time at the beach is always 4-8 in my book. Less crowds, cops, and chance of skin cancer. The water was cold [...]

I’m pretty excited about Aperture’s re-publication of Black Passport by Stanley Greene. He is a serious badass having covered wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Darfur, Mali, and Mauritania.

Congrats to Andrew Hetherington and Noah Sheldon who join Dean Kaufman at Julian Richards. Want to feel kerflummoxed? Read Mr. Richards blog entitled Homily. It’s hilarious and there are lots of fifty cent words about doing the nasty.
“Lowlifes – get a real job.” Here I am having quit a career in graphic design thinking how smart I am when, out of the blue: sucker punch. A multi-millionaire real estate developer who is scamming Medicaid for $59,000 calls the photographers at his court arraignment lowlifes! I’m guessing his next job (post-scam artist/real estate [...]
This Barry Stone photograph (up at the Klaus von Nichtssagend Gallery) reminded me of this New York Times article about doctors using hallucinogens. Kinda tangential but the photograph gives me mild vertigo and an itchy feeling. Mr. Stone has two blogs “yes yes yes” and “o empire wide and glorious.”
