I'm gonna suture up my future...

About Me

"The media is the massage," a writer once put it. I am a professional photographer, videographer, and multimedia developer. When I'm not doing those things I also try my hand at writing, drawing, music, you name it. I'll try anything two or three times. I like philosophy, analysis, and elevating the discourse. And I like to rock. Also I have eccentric tastes. Aside from the myspace galleries, here are some more examples of my work:

Stormchaser - Feature-length comedy movie
MOTORBIKE - Concert photography book (free pdf copy)
Starving - HD music video for Lockjaw (also available in low-res )
Model Mayhem Portfolio - A more specific collection of portraiture shots
Live videos - The Violent Femmes, Sonic Youth, Recalcitrant, Powerman 5000, Lockjaw

random thoughts

I think my current profile image best represents my background in "art" so far... it is largely a solitary hobby which often nobody will appreciate, no matter how dressed up you are. I just really lik...

Guh.

My current profile image... I have no recollection of how I made it. Photoshopped something, obviously... a sketch I did? I think I would remember sketching something like that. I guess it's kind of c...

A mix between things and stuff.

It'd be fair to say I have no idea what is going on lately.Some of the things I'm doing feel -close- to their cliches, the way people always say things should be. I think that'd be a good thing? Not s...
