Ka-ka-ka, Ye-ah!

I bet you have been wondering what exactly is better than brownies? Well, I am here to tell you what that thing is. That thing which is better than the illustrious, traditional brownie is this...the...cheesecake brownie! I am afraid that it is quite spectacular. If you haven't been to allrecipes.com, it is a most useful site for those who wish to cook your food rather than heat up/have someone heat up your food for you.

My back has been giving me whatfor this week. I am too young for kidney stones. I know that's not true, but I want to believe it is. I actually don't care what the pain is, I just want it to go away. On the opposite end of the news-related spectrum, I have a meeting with a client tomorrow to discuss her wedding photos. I think that is pretty much a done deal. Might have an actual job job soon, too. My band is going to be playing shows...a month from now. So, good things to look forward to. Also, I don't know if you have heard that N.E.R.D. song, "My Drive Thru," but initial reaction has been extremely positive. Of course, that could be attributed to BET's playing of a music video that isn't total garbage (see: Lil' Wayne). The album, Seeing Sound, is pretty dern good, too. Photos and such. Without the such. Maybe a little such.



Not to toot my own horn, but this is probably one of my favorite photos I have ever taken. There is something arresting, disturbing, off about this. Still employing the cuteness that is my great niece, Madison, the open area on the right side is nothing short of haunting (at least to me anyway). I'd like to think that this was my sole intention with this photo.

It's Contagious

Plenty of things have happened since the last post - none of which job-related. Friends moved away, sibling rivaling, nieces come to visit, new births, movies seen, photos taken, etc. I got a whole bunch of film in the fridge now. I photographed the band. Quite pleased with the results. I hope all the individual sessions turn out as good as Edward's. I regret to inform that Lynn's must be redone. My band as well as one of my photos will most likely be in the Memphis Flyer! Here are some photos. I am not nearly as short on these as I am on words at the moment.

Later today, I will have more film than I know what to do with. Later today, I will be photoing a birthday party at Shelby Farms for pretty dern cheap. Tomorrow, I might be photoing products (and model holding products) for the talented Ms. Maggie Hendren. I looked through some old art school projects and can't wait to start making my own prints again on Fiber Paper. Here are some black and white scans for your Friday -

The Watchmen trailer - Wow!

The Dark Knight movie - Double Wowee! Wowee!





Nicole is obviously a good model. Will be doing more shoots with her in the near future. My next photo-related purchase seems to change from day to day, but currently, I am adamant about getting a large format camera.

Suck My Blood Like a Leech...

Yo. What's up? This is what I am listening to right now. I saw Hellboy II: The Golden Army yesterday. It was awesome fun. The creature design, as per usual with a Guillermo del Toro joint, were fantastically perfect. I absolutely cannot wait for Thursday night to see The Dark Knight. Thankfully, I have been pretty successful at evading any of the TV spots over the past month. I am finally getting around to finishing the Watchmen comic. I started it probably 5 years ago (don't worry, I am starting over from the beginning). Amazing book. I don't understand how it will translate to the big screen.

I have a new great niece. Her name is Clara. This is her sister, Madison:





I should get some photos of Clara back from the lab soon. Can't wait!

But I Can't, I Can't, I Can't

This would be the new camera/toy I bought yesterday. Another Polaroid Land camera for which I paid $3. The battery works, but I think it is almost out of juice. Can't wait to give it a test run.

Been listening to a lot of Of Montreal and The Zutons lately, and more importantly, I have been thoroughly enjoying the musical experience.

I Am Going to Blow Your Mind

Today, we had childrens over that my sister keeps so they could swim which naturally means that we partook of something very kiddish for lunch - corndogs. I prepared my corndog with the usual mustard and being in snacking-mode, casually snagged a piece of leftover bacon my mother was using to prepare tonights supper. I had the first bite of corndog in my mouth as I proceeded to chomp on said bacon. "WOW!" was the only word I could come up with for this unlikely combination.

I highly recommend that you try this once in your life, BUT if you, in any way, value your life and health, you won't make it a habit as you will feel your ateries hardening as you eat.




A few months ago, Jason asked me to do some photos of the New Daisy for his job. There are supposed to be some flyers around town that feature some of these shots. I am pretty pleased with how these and the flyer came out.
