bunyun or castro?

I took this photo 2 days ago. It's the Paul Bunyun-esq portrait of Chef Christian Decker. I have some more formal portraits of him looking like a young Fidel Castro.

Master Bunny

This is Cotterpin. It's an unedited version of my latest portrait. I'm going to work more with animals on this extravagant vintage style furniture. He was a happy accident coming out of a shoot of my friend in her living room.

my OM-1


I was thinking about the first pictures I took with my first manual 35mm camera, an old Olympus OM1, given to me by my step-dad.

I have had this camera since I was 15 years old, that's 18 years now. Over the years I would pull it out and each time I would call my dad and ask him about aperture and shutter speed. I loved the magic of trying to make a picture.

This is from the first roll of film I shot it's a photo of my high school friend Matt Kirscht.
He's a brilliant & successful self-taught painter.

Check out his link on my page.

Ebay store


I opened an ebay store this week. I am totally obsessed. I can't stop checking the listings.

It's so amazing that I could probably sell through the entire winter and spring without going to thrift store to find clothes to list, all I have to do is visit my closet.

For instance, I just cleaned it out on a whim yesterday. I came up with two knee high piles of clothes and shoes. One pile for thrift and one to sell on ebay. It didn't even make a dent in my closet.

Why do I keep garments around for so long? It so freakish. I have my shirt hanging in my closet that I work for my high school sophomore picture, and ya know what, I'm not getting rid of it. No way, I love that shirt! Do I wear it? No. I just like to see it. I'm not gonna pack it way in some box.

Even then, it's not as if I don't wear any of my old clothes. In fact I often do and that's why they stay around for so long. I still fit all my clothes from when I was 18 so the pieces that I keep do get used. I know it sounds crazy but, it's the way I am. And I am not a slob with boxes piled to the ceiling with a pathway to the bathroom, kind of pack rat.I am the opposite, OCD clean and tidy..yep, believe it.

Anyway, point is I don't need all of these clothes and for some reason keeping alot of them make me feel secure. This Ebay store is going to be very cleansing for me. Yesterday, I got rid of more at one time than I ever have in my life & I don't feel like I'm going to miss any of it. Except maybe just that one 15 year old b/w striped turtleneck ;). We'll see, I should be alright.
