Dark Matter

Just published a quick post on the Detroit book I'm working on. Looks like scrapper thieves have begun stealing copper in street lights. Read more about it here.

Can sometimes really mess things up..or reveal things that you wouldn't have otherwise found.

Amen for getting it done


I'm getting ready for some re-entry on some large projects that have seemingly taken way longer than I ever thought. Nevertheless, like good food..sometimes things take time. Whether it's procrastination or incubation, distance can often lead to a renewed sense of clarity. Being a big believer in what I would term the "obligation of creativity" it's just sometimes good to get off one's backside and finish some shit. 

I am often reminded how much of a privilege it is to be allowed into people's lives and connect and come away with some images. It's usually a rich experience..for both of us. It's personal, cathartic, revealing and intimate...and fleeting. Here's a sneak peek above and for more of what  I'm talking about you can check out this: www.americandreamsproject.org

New Duncan

Just posted Duncan's December 2012 gallery up. Were a little slow off the mark for 2013, however as Duncan is going into his 10th year, look out for a likely retrospective of his entire life, as captured here each month: www.duncanthedog.com

Greg


Back in the summer I did a project, which I mentioned briefly before, with a really interesting guy, Greg Hambleton. He was a spirited musician and producer who had some success, fell on hard times and then lost his eyesight. Fast forward to 2012 and with the help of his daughter and some friends  went on to record a beautiful record of material. He's a good spirit and a very humble guy. The best kind of people to work with. You can learn more about his music here Greg Music.
