finally! my first experiment with liquid light. quite a while ago and for no decided purpose, i bought a medium format black and white negative of a (50s/60s?) marilyn monroe-esque nude from ebay. she is blonde, a bit nervous and awkward looking and sitting in front of what looks like a very amateur makeshift living room photo [...]

it makes me happy when two things i love, photography and writing, come together in one brilliant place like this New York Times article on the new william eggleston exhibition at the whitney. to quote a favorite line describing the work: “hues of almost hallucinatory intensity, from a custard-yellow sunset glow slanting across a wall to high-noon [...]

i saw the decemberists last night at the wellmont theater in montclair, nj. i had never been there and it was a sweet surprise. the 1920s theater was recently (and impeccably) restored and the inside showed off lots of pastel colors and an overwhelming amount of cameos of indians and other amiable strangers all over the ceilings and walls.

and whatever the hell this creepy amazingness is called:
ok, actually i love all of her stuff but none more than her living quarters which were photographed by Todd Selby for his website, www.theselby.com. Click the image [...]

if i had a quarter for every dram of cuteness, lovliness, and overall preciousness that clara bow was, i would be a mighty rich lady because i’d bottle in little glass vials, apply it to pulse points daily and sell the rest on the black market to greedy hotel heiresses and the o’ so aging queen [...]
happiness is a warm couch

i have been thinking lately about getting a new old couch. mine has never been that amazing and in the past year or so has turned an ugly shade of shabby. it has served me well considering i found in on the curb. i have used to to backdrops for photo projects, slept on it, [...]

this is one of my favorite musical performances to be found on youtube. because i love this song and i think liz’s voice sounds even more unique than usaul but also because i have a feeling american audiences, including jay, were probably thinking a big “wtf”.

ten years ago. it was summer of ‘98, i was sitting on the floor of my bedroom at 522 may pink drive kneeling down infront of my prized tv/vcr 15 inch combo television like a weird prayer ritual . mtv was still still enjoyable sometimes. smashing pumpkins adore had just come out. d’arcy was still [...]
