Give me liberty or give me poster, each waving to someone else. NYC, 2010.

ATM Yes We Can
Thursday, June 3rd, 2010Meat Lovers
Thursday, April 22nd, 2010Sometime meat and sausage slices catch my eye when en route to anywhere really, especially if they are wrapped around anything drivable. This falls into my DELICIOUS category of reproduced food. I enjoy the way edible product shots quickly lose their appeal after a long and dirty winter.
Or consider this rack of meat on another delivery van that looks like the bony remains of some giant airborne creature after violently crashing to the ground:
Waiting On The 9…Almost Over
Friday, April 2nd, 2010The M9 is backordered – although ordered – and the 35mm is still at Leica NJ for calibration and restoration (since January). If anyone is interested, the M8 (with new M8.2 shutter and corrected framelines) may soon be on ebay.
UPDATE: the M9 arrived but like so many things in life that have to be done at least 2 times before it can be right), it went back with a sensor/processor error and should be back next week. 35mm lens back and now wonderfully accurate. A difference of night & day.
International Bigtime Wrestling Selects
Thursday, February 4th, 2010Finally, a few selects from last year’s International Bigtime Wrestling event in Mexicantown, Detroit. There was wonderful food, fake blood (no really), fantastic showmanship, and some menacing escaped convicts just hanging out with the kids. Originally posted about this back in July, 2009.

Big Time Wrastlin’
Sunday, July 5th, 2009
Fourth of July, 2009. Mexican Town wrestling match downtown Detroit. Absolute genius. Finest theater since Shakespeare. It really went to the street and stopped traffic. Here, a baby sleeps through the excitement. One day she can say she missed Chuck Wagon beat the tar out of the man in the foreground on Vernor Hwy. Rematch coming Labor Day Weekend.
Waiting For Leica
Monday, May 4th, 2009Sent the M8 in to the shop for a shutter and rangefinder mask upgrade. In the meantime pulled out the M6 and loaded some Rollei ScanFilm CN 400. To my horror discovered my old Santa Monica lab is gone. All labs here in Michigan I used to use have been gone for a while already. Looking to NYC for an answer. In the meantime, waiting for Leica and the upgrade.
**Update: arrived yesterday. Have to say new quieter shutter does indeed make a huge difference. Only wish it came installed in the first place…
Good Things Come In Threes…
Thursday, January 15th, 2009Three sides that is. From last May at Meteor Crater in AZ. One of those shots that’s just plain lucky. Triangles are everywhere, from the space capsule, to the man’s stride on the left, to the back of the blue jean jacket, to the shrub, to the slope of the hill in background…and a couple more.

Comfort Motel, HOST Gallery London
Thursday, June 19th, 2008
My photo of Detroit’s Comfort Motel (in demolition stage) made it into the Foto8 Summer Show 2008, held at the HOST Gallery in London (1-5 Honduras Street, London, EC1Y 0TH). And of course, it will be for sale. Printed at 18″x12″ (actual cropping wider than above). In other news, I’m on my way to Germany, Sweden and Norway for 2 weeks of photo gathering for a Saab print shoot.
Sometimes…
Friday, March 21st, 2008Sometimes, you just have to give in. And when you do it’s like fine wine. Memories flood back, colors look brighter, music is everywhere. The sun shines. Then you shake hands with the clown, excuse yourself and say you’ll be seeing him again someday. Far down the road. Another time. Maybe we’ll have something to laugh about. Then. Down the road.
