Cookin

Hey, y'all. So I've recently had to come to terms with the facts of these economic times. Can't find a job, can't print at school everyday anymore without a steep fee, can't afford the new lens I'd like, etc. I'd list more can'ts but it's a shame to waste too much time dwelling on the negative.

So, I've been cooking. I've actually been cooking pretty things for a while, but this is the first time I thought to photograph it.

This past saturday night I made eggplant lasagna for Alec & I. We also went to the Madame Tassuad's Wax Museum a few days before that and had a killer time, clearly;

I'm also starting a zine soon. Look out for highlights! As well as the forthcoming ever important title and release and all that.

the last few weeks..

I guess I've been busy, by the look of it.

I went to a wedding ceremony held at Coney Island, as the date of a friend. His drummer, Josh Murphy (The Stalkers!) got married.

Digital pictures are all I got now that I have to pay to use the school labs. I'm diggin the results though!! More soon.

Tracey Baran

Recently I was told to make a list of photographers I admire in hopes of contacting them to see if they need assistants or interns. A good idea, but in making that list, I realized that the photographer I truly wanted to work with the most has passed away. Tracey Baran was and remains to be one of the best contemporary photographers, whose work is some of the most like-minded to mine since I got interested in photography at the age of 15. The images say something but let the viewer think for themselves, which is something I really respect. Her work can be seen at the Museum of Contemporary Photography. She also went to SVA (holla).
