Christmas Gift to Me

I think I've mentioned this before, I sincerely feel that I have the best friends a person could ever want or need. And there are numerous reasons for my feeling this way but that is another post. To name the most recent act of selfless kindness, my ever so talented, public artist and photographer, friend Jordan just spent 8 hours tediously shooting my portfolio.
We cleared out my living room and shot everything there. I'll follow up with the results shortly.
Thank you, Jordan.

The Psychological Study of Drawings

Controlled Variable: Adult debauchery
I invited the subjects over, providing the necessary laxative to explore the inner working of the adult psyche. The subjects were all New York urbanites, ages 30-40, with focuses ranging from the research sciences to commercial arts.The subjects displayed immediate enthusiasm
readily admitting an anxiety about verbally communicating their thoughtswhich I was able to understand better as the study unfolded.I found that the subjects felt more comfortable explaining their behavior with the use of surrogates.
This study is ongoing.

Radical Spirits

Personal photos from the rapturing exhibit by James Case-Leal in a church in Greenpoint.Spires jutted from the pews at all angles.
There was animated videos projected onto the ceiling of people floating into the sky from an urban landscape.
The artist was hidden away upstairs making scrolls with current periodicals. This process was recorded and broadcast on a public station playing on the tv at the back of the church.

I think I remember the guy in the middle from one of Warhol's screen tests in '64. He's got a focus that you don't find in most gerbils.

Weekend: Biking through Brooklyn

Biked out to beach, Ft. Tilden State Park, the weekend before last. More people than in previous years but still pretty empty.
Then up from the Manhattan bridge to Newtown Creek Sewage Treatment Plant that has a "nature path".

On the way back I stopped by the new Brooklyn Kitchen location (Meeker and Withers). The store now includes The Meat Hook butchery. Very happy bunch of butchers they are.
