from the 21st floor

This is the set up. cramped but with everything in reach. hamburger eyes podcast cranks in the background in my own zen chemical hut.

another photo from a new favorite of mine, Matt Weber his photo, beneath, was taken in 1995 in SF at the same location, maybe its the same dude 14 years later in the upper photo. the diagnal line between the bird the man and the bench is tight, but i'm diggin mine

No man

Walking through the underground metro I spotted a security guard with a dog, a gentle looking beast actually with a grid iron muzzle over its beak. this dude look menacing, bald hair with a berray(spelling) hat. He looked like he had lost his life savings on one bet of a coin, and was prepetually angry at everything. It was the kind of anger that gives of energy through the eyes. Menacing but grabing you in, like a black hole. I naturally walked up to him and in horrible german asked to take his photo "Kann, umm, Ich dien, foto, umm Machen?"as soon as I speak he jerks the dog away from me, as if it were about to act on pulse. as if at the sound of an american voice would activate it into attack mode and it would tear right through its chainlink fence of a mouth guard and straight into my nuts. "Was?" i have to repeat, as he grits his teath without opening his lips. NEIN! he lasers my direction. it was the most horrific and jostling no i have heard yet. far worse than a drunk bigot, or a loud asshole telling me about privacy or some shit. it carried so much resenment and pain within him into my ears. Even though i new it was coming , his response made me laugh inside histerically. not laughing for its funniness but because I was suddenly very nervous.

saw this picture from a one Boogie, in his new book "belgrade belongs to me". it looks extremely similar to a picture i took in sunny santa cruz. all i can say is, "weird"

This is cool...

Don't expect to get paid

unrelated to photography. related though, to content on the interweb. it seems more and more people are becoming jaded about this structure of open free access to creative content that the web allows for. feelin' this guys (below) words and others, the whole thing is coming back around in full circle, so quickly too...many things to say about it. So many people use the internet; facebook, wiki, googlesearch, without even questioning the way its all set up. just because its structured the way it is, doesnt mean we can't reevaluate it. Its important to remmeber that. the idea that people are coming to expect that other people open the doors to thier creativity in whatever form they show it, for free and for everyone, is sure to effect the way people creating content view thier content. a price allways has to be paid.

endless fun, ya dig?
