First, I am still so tired, you guys. I am so, so tired. I have a huge bruise-slash-scrapes-slash-lump-of-pain on my right shin from where the sound case fell out of the SUV trunk on Tuesday, I have a new scrape on my right knee from where I fell off the curb into 4th Street, I have an…

things they don’t teach you in art school
Or maybe they do; I don’t know, I didn’t go to art school. But it surprised me today, when I stopped and thought about the most important thing I’ve learned building a photo business from the ground. The most important thing I’ve learned over the last four years is how important it is to say…
so much has changed in a year
I just finished off what was, hands down, the most exhausting and most rewarding stretch of the last three years to date, where I’ve worked and worked and made art and cried and thrown things and worked more and made more art, all in the name of being able to make it, eventually, as a…
2011: do something amazing
In 2011, I’m going to take a bathroom self-portrait at every show I attend. I go to a lot of shows and take a lot of photos, but they are very rarely of myself, so I’m going to change that. There are lots of things that interest me about it — setting, lighting, people around. This is…

trekky records christmas at the cradle: dex romweber
trekky records christmas at the cradle, originally uploaded by minervacat. A couple of months ago, I watched Moulin Rouge for the 57th time, because I stumbled across a discussion somewhere on the internets about the cinematography and art design of the film; it’s a movie I love desperately and have always thought was lovely from…
