Goddamn it! It's everywhere.

Shit!

Always

I am always looking racism in the face. Specifically I am looking old
racism in the face. It's noting new. Nothing at all is new.

Nigger "I Hate Catchup"

I got this desire to make art while at lunch. So I'm using the
substance I dislike to make an art piece. Why the fuck not? :-)

Susan Sontag says in her book, On Photography, that "time eventually
positions most photographs, even the most amateurish, at the level of
art". I love that statement.

I view the statement as a particular interest point. For me I hope to
create idea and feeling powerful images/art/photographs/art. This word
for me has been where my life is the last 10 years.

Interesting :-)

I find this interesting. The pattern has a nice balance and the color
tones in the tile produce a super flat and even surface. Texture isn't
much but it is there.

It's just a floor though.

Plush Safe He Think

"Jimmy Best..." 1981

Sweet Sweetback Badass Song! This piece makes me want to watch that
movie again! I can't wait to buy more spray paint! Boom the world!
(That is code for tagging which is code for graffiti. Hahaha. :-)

Jean-Michel Basquiat (Mixed Media Heaven)

I love this photo piece/collage. It's called "Untitled (We have
decided...)". This piece is the fucking boss shit that makes Basquiat
such a force in the art world.

The piece keeps you excited because it presents a nice array of
messages. Using acrylic, blood, ink, and paper collage on paper, the
viewer is presented with a surreal effect.

Not my favorite piece by far but I sure do enjoy this one over most of
the half-ass shit I see lately. I just don't "feel" most art today. I
think our generation needs an update. :-)

I am confused about my sexuality anyway!

Awww to be young and sexually confused. What I'm not confused about is my love for female breasts. I mean... I do have a mom... and I live her dear. :-)

Love

Jon isn't stressing and says: "if love be rough with you, be rough
with love. Prick love for pricking, and you beat love down". -
Mercutio. Damn right! :-).

It wouldn't hurt to know where God wants me to be emotionally with
women. If anything I wish there was an easier way to engage in love.
Oh well.

That's life.

And Yes... I Totally Have A Foot/Toes Fetish! :-)

These lovely toes belong to my newly regained friend... the beautiful
Megan. I think she is one of my favorite models, but Jessica is still
my top pick.

This picture, and many more of Megan, were taken a few years ago (2
years). It was back when I was wrapping people all the time in plastic
wrap. Yes, I like bondage too... but I believe the 20 or more models I
photographed wrapped in plastic were a message and statement about how
I felt before I started speaking up more. I just really like this
picture though... it reminds me of where I came from visually.

We are forever a product of our particular generation.

Sonja Would Like This Subject

I think I just really wanted to experiment with natural and artificial
light sources outside. I blame that interests on Sonja. And thankfully
she has made me more interested in reflections in photographs so I am
pursuing more windows. Yay!

Trying My Hand at Subjects Sonja Likes

I couldn't sleep so I just grabbed my camera and went out shooting
this morning. It was like 4:30 in the morning. I am too tired to put
actual pics up so here are some "really" funny pics from my shitty
shitty iPhone. lol
