About Me



Less model than poet. More poet than yuppie.

My Interests

.

This is a photograph of our villa in Tortola. It reminds me that napping is good.

I like to make things. This is a photograph of an installation that is now destroyed. It was about the idea of the bride. Actually, the title was Bride.

A photograph I took of two best friends, who are two of my favorite boys in the world, Chris and Greg. I love them very much.

This is a photograph of sailing on a little fishing boat in Tortola. My almost-sister Jessica and almost-brother Elliot are with me. That day, we caught quite a few fish.

This is a photograph of my love and me. I think it's okay that it's blurry. It is a good San Francisco photograph.

A photograph I took last time I was in Chicago, my hometown.

My little dog Prima and San Francisco, my city, The City.

This is a silly picture expressing my love of candy. The best candystore in San Francisco is Z. Ciocolatto's in North Beach.

I'd like to meet:

People that make things move, new cities, new skylines.

People who:

- prefer the tete-a-tete over big party "conversations" about nothing, really

- have an affinity for small birds

- like to drink espresso and smoke cigarettes

- are lonely sometimes

- like to talk about poetics and literary theory

- are able to be incredibly silly, even if it's just in private

- like Woody Allen films

- might like to teach new things to me

- do not take themselves too seriously, but have their shit together most of the time

- live to eat, not eat to live

- feel okay about giggling in the museum

- adore the ballet

- can be contradictory

This little guy.
