In Chernobyl, the last thing you want to be doing is hiding from the authorities in the dark. And yet I somehow found myself doing just that, begging my heart to stop beating, wondering if this was some sort of awesome spy movie. I sure didn’t feel awesome. Earlier that evening, I stood by the [...]

November 8, 2010 From the Notebook: On trains
From 7,000 miles away, European trains are romantic. It’s adventure: A giant steel wyrm uncoiling under the moonlight, snaking between the wild mountains of eastern Ukraine. Folklore and myth lurk in the shadows of the forests, all while the passengers lay swaddled and asleep in their gently-swaying carriages. … It was not at all like [...]

March 15, 2008 Day of the Century
Seabound is one of the very few artists that I am willing to go out and see. My comfort zone has shrunk massively over the last 5 years, and for the most part this is never a problem. However the lack of outside socialization makes me a hermit and it is difficult to hear and [...]

January 27, 2008 Realizing reality
This photo by the famous American photographer Walker Evans was brought to my attention tonight. I have seen many examples of Evans’ work but never this particular one. I recognized the location instantly, even though it was shot in 1935. Digging through my archives, I retrieved a file that I had taken myself in November [...]

January 5, 2008 Bones of the Earth
I have been doing a large amount of historical research on Glacier National Park over the last month. At first I dragged my feet about this, knowing full well that I suck at history and I am very glad that the majority of report-writing experiences are behind me now. It’s been at least ten years [...]

December 22, 2007 Kyoto Part I
Unfortunately it’s been well over a month since I have had the time to think and put together a few thoughts about our stay in Kyoto. Now, near Christmas, weeks after the fact with the whiskey swirling in my head I think that I’m ready to say something. Or not, I don’t know. I am [...]
November 8, 2007 Doodling around, but the tea is good
Friday started off with a phenomenal udon place right across the street from our hotel. We walked in not sure what the Japanese eat for breakfast, but since all the suits were going in and coming out we figured it would pass. I have never had such good tempura before, even though I only realized [...]

September 4, 2007 Punk Rawk Hot Chick
Shooting Emily was really great and quite the learning experience. If I hadn’t been ready to roll over and die from the Mexican we just ate it would have been even better. As it is, please, visit the Rocking Horse Cafe because it is excellent. Just don’t make any plans to be active for the [...]

August 31, 2007 Fail and fade away
Nearly a week has gone by and I still cannot think of the words to say. Countless times I have started to write, then deleted, re-wrote and deleted again. You see, this is the curse of having a public blog. I am actually very uncomfortable keeping this thing but I think pushing yourself to do [...]

August 25, 2007 See spray
Not sure where it happened, but somewhere along the line the words “San Francisco” became linked in my head to “graffiti.” And not talking about the lame pot leaves and profanity that you see most of the time, but real art sprayed across walls by daredevils at night. Seeing it in person did not leave [...]
