In honor of my mother’s birthday I thought I should at the very least post a photo of her. This is a portrait I took several years ago.

The New Yorker: The Talk of the Town

This is just for one qoute ““My son Winston and I, Nan Goldin, and Juergen Teller. It’s gonna be a hell of a crew.”

Other than his son you should Know the other people he is refering to in regards to his upcoming trip to Bangkok. If not check out Juergen Teller’s “Go Sees” a wonderful book given to me by King . . .and anything of Nan Goldin’s is interesting from heroine use to landscapes.

Just listened to a phone message from Gorjus where he only used his last name, sounded odd to me. But it reminded me that I have been meaning to upload a photo of him.

In order to prevent offending Hud’s delicate power line sensibilities, I have edited and posted a new version of my photograph of the capitol building.

I have rotated the image to make the building’s lines perfectly horizontal, I also corrected the perspective slightly, and removed all power lines and trafic lights.

I have never been a good architectural photographer, something I always envied Hud for his talent in. I have also always had a problem producing location photographs I am satisfied with the quality of; I want to control the lighting and move things around.

Despite my lackings I keep trying it again and again, thinking eventually I will improve. These images reflect my latest attempts.
