I’m working on some paper. (And at work i’m working on paperwork, but i’m also working on getting a job in a different line of work…). The paper of the moment is made of silk — kind of a blend of useful paper and artsy paper. Some of it will make very […]

Hello, roving. This is a pile of roving I photographed when working on my Penland application. The black background is a trampoline, which was the most convenient monochromatic surface I could find at the time. Photography on top of a trampoline is of course its own bouncy adventure.
What’s roving? Essentially a […]

Please, if anyone out there knows of a reasonable way to bike from SF City College (Ocean Ave campus) to the rest of SF (mission, civic center, etc) please let me know so I don’t have to continue these life-or-death experiments.
Another Tuesday, another attempt to get home after class at city college in SF. […]

Well I just discovered that wordpress doesn’t save drafts, so accidentally clicking on the wrong thing doesn’t work out so well.
In short, an attempted (photo) shooting at 2am yielded murky blobs and the smell of burning hair. The culprits included the gimmicky camera in my ibook, the awkwardly tall halogen lamp, and an […]

2. Matmos will be speaking at the Hearst […]

Greetings from the basement of our dear house, while the raindrops drip outside and the fan whirs in here. That’s right, our house has no heat, it’s raining, and I’m running a fan full blast.
Because it’s Wednesday night screenprinting time! A friend is designing a clothing line for her daughter, screenprinting her daughter’s […]

Tuesday at 2am is as good a time as any to launch, I suppose.
Maia’s dutiful photodocumentation of the spin-in at Brooke’s inspired me to get my hands out of my various projects for a moment, set aside my hesitations about blogging, and sit on down here in front of ye olde laptop. Now, given […]
