The kids were always welcomed to hang out at the old studio on Illinois Avenue. This day, Excel came into my office after reading to give me a review of a chapter he read in one of his Narnia books. He was walking and talking […]

I’ve been thinking about string theory quite a bit lately. That’s kinda all one could do, “seeing” how we’ll never “see” any physical evidence of such. It also seems like such a waste of time, but wasting time is greater part of what I do. […]

Spent a little time with my Blackmagic Pocket 4K Camera and a Canon 100mm Macro lens capturing insects nearby. Nothing special. Just messing around. However, this was all done handheld with a camera that has no internal stabilizer. Sometimes I have to just get out […]

This was the documentary that made me think, I could really do “this.” Armed with my DVX-100, the first 24p prosumer DV camera, I spent several months documenting the world of the burgeoning artist, Christon “Christylez” Bacon. It was the start of collaborative relationship that […]

Disclaimer: I have a vivid imagination. That could be an understatement. Nonetheless, I have never doubted what I saw outside of my bedroom window in the summer of 1978. I remember hearing something outside (the window was open), an oscillating sound and when I got […]

Going a bit stir-crazy, being confined to a short list of places to go and things to do. With the colder weather compounding the isolation (can’t sit outside in a field or the empty stands of the nearby park for hours) of world responding to […]
