marfa art

took a quick trip to marfa, one of my favorite places on earth...the entire town is essentially one giant artspace, with installations hidden in every crevice of the city just waiting to be discovered by the observant visitor. at the edge of town, there's this series of giant barns and hangars that were set up by the minimalist artist Donald Judd as a home for his work to be put on permanent display. the land on which theses barns sit is also home to judd's huge concrete block installation, stretching hundreds of yards into the surrounding landscape...too cool.










this is actually the side of one of the concrete blocks and not wood...the wooden forms used to make the blocks left the impression of the grain in the concrete, giving them this weird texture that i thought was pretty cool.

oil spill

a couple days ago a massive oil tanker jackknifed in the middle of the busiest intersection in town, dumping 100 barrels of recently excavated crude oil all over the highway service road and into a nearby creek...




...i got these two frames in before being gruffly ushered away by an irate officer like some kind of delinquent scofflaw. i couldn't decide which i liked more...

fair

while i was in midland, shooting at the St.Anns fair, a cop tapped me on the shoulder and said... "you aint doin' nothin wrong but, you takin' pictures of people you don't know is alarmin' folks."

i politely asked him to take me to these alarmed folks so that i could explain to them what i was doing and why i was taking these pictures. of course he didn't know "exactly where they were at the moment" but he did say that i should definitely cut it out because..."people'er liable to think you're some kinda weirdo"

i told him i was used to it...

here's three photos of people i don't know.

parade

just a few to keep me sane

cait in the rain

i've been busy putting together my new website lately which should be up and running sooner rather than later...as a result, shooting has hit a most uncomfortable yet temporary low. far too many hours spent hunched over a laptop at a coffee shop that will remain nameless.

here's another shot of the uber badass i'm lucky enough to call my sister...she really likes the rain

breaking news in a white dress

wow...this was alot more work than i thought it was gonna be...ive got a newfound respect for wedding photographers.

scotland

here's a few shots from my recent wanderings in scotland...after the wedding i had about a week to myself to see the countryside and shoot, so I spent a couple days in the very rainy city of Inverness. after that i took a train back south, hitchhiked to Glasgow for the day and made it to Edinburgh just in time for the annual Military Tattoo Festival...i'm really diggin the homeless life.


...good luck...









most piercings i've ever seen...




this guy was up on a pole above the street cracking a flaming whip at passers by...hmm


if you're gonna dress up as a medieval knight and stick-fight in the street, i would assume you have the skills necessary to avoid getting owned by a dude in slacks and tennis shoes...






sweet light in Edinburgh...
