Death race

This post from Rachel Hulin over at Shoot! The Blog was just too damn good not to get a shot of.

Shop for me: Christian Patterson’s Sound Affects

If you’re feeling generous, feel free to buy me a copy of Christian Patterson’s Sound Affects from photo-eye (signed, please—I’m willing to wait). The price is just a bit beyond my reach right now, but I promise I’ll enjoy it.

Catch me in tinytinygroupshow #6: simultaneous

A while ago, Kevin Miyazaki e-mailed and asked if I’d be interested in participating in his next tinytinygroupshow. The goal: Take a picture at noon Milwaukee time (ten o’clock in the morning here in California) on Sunday, August 17. I was thrilled to be a part of one of Kevin’s tinytinygroupshows (see them all here), but it was made even better because I was participating with photofriends like Andrew Hetherington, Shawn Records, Allison V. Smith, and Amy Stein. You can see the results here. Thanks, Kevin!

New site . . . again

No disrespect to all the great Web designers out there, including the two I’ve worked with in the past, but I’ve gotten tired of having to pay someone to make minor updates to my site. My grandma always said if you can read, you can cook, and I figured cooking can’t be that far removed from Web design, so I bought a book (HTML, XHTML & CSS: Visual QuickStart Guide, 6th Edition, by Elizabeth Castro), read a couple chapters of it, and designed my own site. I’m really happy with it, and so is my wallet.

Paolo Morales

Photographer Paolo Morales got in touch with me last night and offered some suggestions of photographers who photograph their own relationships. He also mentioned his own project, which I find completely charming. It’s called There’s Something about Franny, and, well, I’ll leave it to Paolo to explain what it is. Here’s a bit from his site:

I have a crush on a girl. Her name is Franny. We met in prep school. She is pretty and popular. I am awkward and geeky. We developed a working relationship based on scheduled “photo-dates.” My images chronicle our relationship existing within photographs and the struggle for power between the two players. Portraits idolizing Franny as favorite model and muse compliment self-portraits sitting between fantasy and reality: gazing into each others eyes as we pass in the halls, park photo shoots, and me staring at her in class while she pretends not to notice. It is through these photographs that I want to understand my infatuation and obsession with Franny, a girl I adore and have no idea why.

You can see the project here. My favorites from the series are below.
