space and place











a recent assignment for Barry Stone's digital photo class,
this project addresses the space of commerce after hours and how it is something 
that can not be entered. In this way it becomes two dimensional like the designs
that advertise these spaces that draw people to them.

my mornings, my thoughts, my photographs



today is the day to start this blog
i have had it for quite awhile
perhaps over a year
and have never felt like entering it.
this morning is like others, i feel the same
but nautious.
i have to work in a little big, but am certain i will be late...
so is everyone else.

each morning when i wake
i get this longings
one of the strongest is for my love
and so almost every morning i
take a portrait of myself
what i will do with these pictures i do not know

i entered my kitchen
to make my coffee
the pot was clean, but the old grinds were there
he forgot to clean them last time he came over.
coffee with ice cream is what he made.
this is significant to me
i appreciate this
so i have these cups i bought at a antique store
and i thought we would drink coffee out of them
together when we are wed


and what does this have to do with photography?
Shea is one of my largest inspirations to take photos
this feeling i get in my chest that needs to be addressed
and the compositions he makes puts
incredible imagery in my mind
that i need to go out and find
and capture, images that evoke these same feeling

here he is in song
