Update: Sadly Brave Blackey was struck and killed by a car on November 8th (2009-11-08), NIne days after I took this photo.

Took a short walk to clear my head, it was a grayish autumn day, but if you look closer, happiness is everywhere.

Fooling around with the idea - of portraits not being people at their best, but of people at their worst - much more honest, far more interesting…the anguish I’m experiencing in these images is real, so much more personal that a fake smile.

Had a 75 minute conference call- had a bit of fun during it… this style is SO relaxing. CLICK IMAGE FOR DETAIL

Movies that are better in rewind -

Dorothy and Toto have a wild poppy fueled party with flying monkeys and wake up in bed with 4 complete strangers - ‘and YOU where WERE?, & YOU where WERE?’ her reputation soiled, and in the family-way, she’s banished from Oz to live her life in a cold-water flat over the Rainbow Diner, in South Central Kansas.

…from top to bottom - head in the clouds, face made for radio, pockets full of kryptonite, fists of fury, and feets don’t fail me now..

I’ve been working my way through the 6GB’s of emerging artists from this years SXSW conference, maybe it’s just me being nostalgic but so far my favorite is this strange electronica band ‘ear pwr’

Guilty Pleasures as of 2009-03-27

Movies: I’m conceptually obligated to watch these movies to conclusion when ever I find them on TV, I dont think I need to qualify them in any way, they’re not fine cinema, but for some reason I just love them.

• Under Siege 2- Dark Territory: Steven Segal, Eric Bogosian
• Hudson Hawk: Danny Aielo, Bruce Willis
• Rocky 5:  Sylvester Stallone and it really doesn’t matter
• MallRats: Jason Lee and the Brilliant writing of Kevin Smith

Music: Not only do I listen to these songs, I’m usually singing along, badly. Again no apologies.

• Fragile Heart: Jewel
• Walk This Way: Aerosmith
• Toxic: Britney Spears
• Walking on Sunshine: Katrina and the Waves
• Before He Cheats: Carrie Underwood

Food: I know they’re horrible for me, I know the better alternatives, I eat these anyway, and before you jump all over me for including Hershey’s Chocolate- I think we all agree it’s not the best quality chocolate, but it IS what my brain thinks chocolate should taste like.

• Vendor Pretzels: Are these fresh?
• Velvetta Cheese: I’m sure that yellow color is 100% natural
• Hershey’s Chocolate
• Peanut M&M’s, In my opinion the finest, most perfect candy on the planet.

The usefulness of JQuery never fails to amaze me - everytime I use it I feel I should be cutting John Resig (and all the JQuery community folks) a check.
