I have artwork on display.

I had absolutely no idea, but apparently I am displaying artwork. The front door gallery now holds my five prints on pedestals. So if you live here or are in town, check it out. The gallery is located just as you walk in the main entrance of the Church Fine Arts building on campus. I'll post pictures of... my pictures on display tomorrow.

On the subject of cinema.

There are times, I do believe, when one gains an immense sense of clarity unnecessary for living. By that I mean, one becomes hyper-aware of their surroundings. Like now. At 4:44 a.m. My mind races along simple thoughts.

And the cinematic nature of things comes into view. As if I've taken a step back from the lens that is my own inner camera.

I find that I model my life in a somewhat beautifully tragic genre. I've scripted the shadows, the lonely walks back home every night. The nights at the office. If spliced together, my life would resemble all those movies I cherish deeply in my heart. A soundtrack of melancholy tunes. A dark and mysterious set with old buildings lit with only the stars.

I direct the cinema of my life, and yet have so little control over it.



My cinematic montage is all violin and shadows.

This week in photos (Nineteen)

Let's try something new. There are links and stuff embedded, even music if you're up for it. Try it out. Let me know if you like it this way or you simply like the images thing. Yay for experimentation!

The links to photo slideshows seem to not work... sad. Oh well. Click the little enlarge button for the big screen version which i find much more entertaining.

[Turns out it freezes my computer so it' gone]

Something you should see.

If you're tired of the dark and moody photos that I take, I highly recommend these. They are bright and amazing. Yes, this is a plug for a friend's blog. So what. She's good. I have been inspired to go out and do street photography.

This week in photos (Eighteen point one)

Here are two photos I took this week. The major update is coming tomorrow.



This is froma wine shoot Mike Higdon and I did for the dining special section this week.

Another self portrait. I was working late at The Sagebrush.
Be on the lookout for some portraits of UNR individals soon. I want (I hope I can do this) to take a portrait of Sean McDonald, Brian Benedict, and perhaps Brian Duggan soon.

This week in photos (Seventeen)

Still no photo galleries, much to do with my being a lazy ass.

I've got a wide variety of things for you today. It ranges from art stuff to journalistic stuff, have fun.

These next photos are really interesting. There's a house, rather two houses that have been abandoned and ripped to pieces. I found what was outside the house to be a kind of reflection of the house itself. I could talk about this for hours, the way the glass snapped beneath my feet, the way the wallpaper fluttered in the winds that came through shattered windows.

This week in photos (Sixteen)

Here we are again, another week. I've got some photos for you and (ohmygosh) some links.
The first link I'll throw out there is to the Nevada Sagebrush Staff Blog  which I will be making entries into now. please enjoy my latest post.

I'm also going to push some hilarious short flash movies made by ASUN officials. If you go to UNR you'll enjoy them more.

And the last thing you get is your weekly blast of color (and some black and white!)

This is for our health care CP. One out of five students is uninsured.


Tennis is fun. I walked a Shit Ton to get there. Most of it was done by bus, but a lot was walked. I have the burns to prove it.



This is like my trademark shot.



A step team ripping off their shirts, literally.

These are middle school kids, seriously. They rocked.
