I did this at 3 in the morning with a belly full of Guinness, which is probably why I started out with 'I Love You All.'

The nominal you, I love. I can fairly guarantee that it is the solar waves of a summer heat that gets me glowing enough to spout off of the top out from the top o' my hairy dome with affectionate rays, these sapphire bullets of pure love, to paraphrase the Mahavishni... and They Might Be Giants... and a band that's actually called sapphire bullets of pure love: as stated previously, at a base level you are all-right in my book. Beyond that, right now and here; you're a delight and I'm grateful.


I've been dreaming; in actuality, trying to have had a dream of a jellyfish: this is the closest thing to what I think of a jellyfish when I think of you.


You know; when I get down, I try to remember that Celine likes to make people laugh: I'd bet her butler loves her.


I cruise an inadmissable amount of vintage hairstyle photo archives, but, when one contains an album entitled The Italian Boy Look, I listen.


Patricia Piccinini first came to my notice based on some sculptures she did of these hybrid hairless homonid types (I see images of them turn up in those impulse banner ads from time to time: "Is this a nuclear mutant hybrid result of genetic testing? Click here to find out the answer and apply for an online college at the same time.). Her short film The Gathering, kind of brought me to a halt for a second.


I like Martin Parrs's stuff; his Bored Couples series reminds me of this Jon Brion lyric: Setting traps out in advance/So we could spend the weekend staring in a trance.


The Boton Public Library's photostream is amazing.

Louisiana, as well...


and lastly a dash of Ottoman Calligraphy; I'm hung-over and need breakfast.

  3. i like the Martin Paar series. i've been holding onto one particular photo series idea that i'd really like to do. it would be of older men living alone, photographed in their environs. i'd probably lean toward the slightly tragic.

  4. i miss you on facebook, 'cause i don't have anywhere else to post photos and links for you! i know you must maintain your objection, but i selfishly wish you were on there anyway.

  5. Your photo idea reminds me of this series I posed for of people nude with their collections; they did a calendar of it, and I was January. I'd gladly let you photograph my home-life, but I fear that I would be self-conscious about leaning towards the slightly tragic, which is a subject about which I'd prefer to be self-ignorant. I'll give in and maintain a nominal presence on the FB for you: I should just switch over to the Gordon Shearer account.

  7. my photo subjects would be 40+, and decidedly average, if that. you are exceptional and thus do not qualify.

    and thx for the facebook concession. only do it if you really want to, though.
