this picture is where i got my email from as well as the name of the blog. its beautifully shot and asia argento is beautiful herself. it has irony written all over it but its more so the subtle messages that speak to me most, and it is because of those messages that i fell in love with this picture. my thanks go out to whoever took it.

right before i went to bed last night i found the dvd with all the pictures from my last hard drive on it. you dont know how happy this makes me! if i lose my pictures again i'll stop taking them forever. so.. you're going to see some of my old beauties. i think this week i'll be pulling out my fish eye cam too because its such a great cam. there is no quality more raw and beautiful (in my opinion) than 35 mm. dude.. its like totally the real deal. anyways, hopefully ill get that out and going, although i dont know if i'll capture lights as great as the ones i always got in t.o. i miss those busy, dirty, people strewn streets.

if you have sigur ros and you're reading this, it would maybe be nice to put it on while you read this and look at my pictures. i remember someone telling me a couple years ago to listen to them and i never bothered. first of all, this guy has very keen taste and i dont know why i didnt listen. second of all i need to start giving into hype. just a little. a couple people have since told me about sigur ros and i was like, sure, someday, but wow! summer + sigur ros = smiles. really. anyways, like i said, here are some of my most favorite older pictures. la la la.

this pic is real old. high school old. thats me with my cool hair. ill never forget this day. a lot of things were beginning to make sense and just as many things were becoming completely non-sensical.

xiu xiu @ lee's palace. amazing.

one night at 3 am i had a lot of energy. there was also a lot of fog. i love fog. im always so fascinated by it because its very mysterious. part of me also thinks its magical which.. i havent felt that since i was a kid.. and i only think like that when im around fog.

so anyways, i went around glendon for an hour and a half, everywhere, taking pictures. lots didnt turn out. some turned out okay, and then there were these. it took a lot of patience capturing them but the results were very much worth it. my apologies go out to people i spooked, i know there were a few.

voici key witness. a really good band, and im not just saying that because i dated stef haha. from left to right theres j.m on guitar, jacques on violin, shin is on drums but you cant see him, david stein on clarinet, dave behind him, and last but not least stef is in the vest.

peace.

one of my most favorite people. im blessed to know her. amanda murphy.
this pic isnt great but its not bad either. point is this is sean lennon. this was him playing in toronto in... october? unfortunately i didnt have my camera but my friend's did a decent job. i was really hoping the other members from cibo matto would jump on stage and surprise us but no luck. sean, fortunately, sufficed anyways.
