Happy Halloween, à la Jurgen/Teller/Richardson.

October 31, 2007

Couldn’t quite get the dong in there, as I had to do this myself. Next time, I’ll use a wide angle and get it all in there. Tomorrow, I’ll tell a funny story about Halloween, Fins, Helsinki, vomit, urine, windsheer, minus 35 degrees and long haired dirty hippies. So please drink responsibly.

Please visit and hep if you can. Lets do something nice, for once. And think of it this way, it’s a tax deduction.

Positive thinking: Just another overused platitude, brought to you by the self-help industrial complex, in your neck of the woods.

October 30, 2007

The shortest blog entry ever. Nevertheless, I just can’t help it, here is a little bit more and a little it more, and if you come back soon, I show you my very own special bits, a la Terry.  So, see you soon….! But If you just can’t wait for, go ahead, just Google it. You don’t […]

” Aie Caramba! — Art world erupts as Iceland bedlam bitch slaps Jeff Wall”.

October 29, 2007

Yesterday, I made my way to the San Francisco MOMA to see the Jeff Wall’s retrospectiva. Despite there being beautiful sunshine, I chose to go downtown and see what all the fuss-zzz-is about. I tend to go and see art when the sun’s a shina; it’s makes for better vibes when stepping back out if […]

A little something called “Dead”.

October 26, 2007

While eating pork larb today with Adrienne, I was once again reminded that some day I won’t be around to feast on minced piggy. Someday, I’ll be long dead and burned to a crisp, released from the clean and warm embrace of a crematory’s furnace; my ashes covering my children’s faces (knowing them, they won’t […]

You ain’t no Condi, part deux…

October 23, 2007

To complement the post below as well as announce my intentions of personally redesigning my site, I had just wanted to add a few comments to the post below, to further refine my thoughts.
When I tuned in to “A Photo Editor” this morning I was getting a haircut. Knowing full well that the potential […]

You ain’t no……

Today, one of my comments is the subject of the “Photo Editor’s” post so I’d better write something quick. I wrote that comment in response to my experiences with my most recent work, work I started developing 6 years ago or so.
I did so in response to what I saw was the writing on […]

You ain’t no Condoleezza Rice….

October 17, 2007

Overseen in San Francisco: On Castro and Market, a homeless man pulled out his member in front of “Pottery Barn” and tried spraying the crowd with a perfectly formed jet of urine. All the while screaming: “You ain’t no Condoleezza Rice, motherfuckin’ bitch…!“. This gives new meaning to Colin Powel’s famously adage to W: “You […]

If an erection lasting more than four hours persists….

October 15, 2007

Nice article in the October 8th issue of the New York Observer. I think we could replace the words “Ad Biz” with any number of other creative businesses and there you have it. Can I lick your middle ground, please?  Yawnnnnn….: “Insert priapus here*”
“There aren’t enough personalities in the business anymore,” said adman Richard Kirshenbaum, […]

Another one bites it…

Robyn Color, in San Francisco, will be closing their doors at the end of October. As far as I was concerned they provided an invaluable service to photographers with their museum quality on demand Digital C41 prints, for a price which made you feel like you were not being fleeced. If you have 300Ks to […]

El señor Martin…

October 12, 2007

I am going to quickly take advantage of this unique opportunity. Timothy has me on his blog and I know I’m gonna get some hits so I figured I’d say something nasty about Martin Parr, quick!
Martin Parr was first brought to my attention after I did a story on “Windows of the World”, back in […]

Anonymous….

October 8, 2007

It seems that, as of late, many bloggers have decided to do so anonymously. This prompted me to think about anonymity as the act of expressing ones thoughts and ideas without revealing ones identity seems rather cowardly. At the end of the day, there are very few reasons for anonymity, unless your life or […]

“On a bag of frozen peas”.

October 4, 2007

I had originally posted this poem last June about my friend Steve, who I assure you, is nothing but an entirely fictionally character and in no way bares any resemblance to himself or anyone else. I had appropriate his name and relative likeness to allow me to post the original poem below, which had […]

Forty three (.Y.)…!

Today is my forty third birthday. Since I am taking the day off, I figured I’d just lay around and enjoy what turned out to be a warm and sunny October day. Bright and early, my mother called to wish me well, second only to Adrienne, how sweet it be? *
Anyhow…. later today, between 10 […]

“Ken, Alec, with this ring, I wed thee”….

October 1, 2007

One fantastic advantage of keeping a blog which nobody reads, is that freedom of expression, is just another word for nothing left to fear. Having said that, this fantastic voyage would not feel complete if I did not stick one in the ribs and shoot me in both feet while I am at it ; […]
