The movie, a Clockwork Orange inspired me immensely as an impressionable 18 year old trouble maker looking for a reason to become what i am today.  I was a very sheltered child.  I simply didn’t know this sort of cinema existed.  I remember my mom covering my eyes during the love scene in “the Lost Boys” and all they did was kiss.  My first girlfriend was five years older than me and she did a bit of corrupting.  I was a willing participant mind you.  But that movie changed my life.  It was like a whole new world.  Now i tend to think that direct homages are a bit tacky.  Yeah, i could get the one eyelash thingy, and a cod piece, and whatnot … but i’d rather shoot something that only gives the viewer a hint at my motives.  For those familiar with the film, you’ll notice a certain similarity to the hair style and color, along with of course, the color orange, not to mention the black room, giving us a hint of the korova milk bar.  Btw, none of this was planned in advance.  The model showed up with this outfit, the makeup artist did her hair like this without forethought.  Its pretty amazing how things work together if you let it happen on its own.

id like to take a moment to speak about a present a received from my lovely helen. she got me the gift of joy, literally. a little computer theyre calling a netbook these days whose name so happens to be Joy. shes got a little 8 inch screen, a tiny keyboard that causes me to make typos while writing blog posts, and mostly shes just so tiny that i can take her anywhere i go with zero hassle. windows xp, a built in webcam for sexy type chats with helen while shes on her macbook sitting next to me. wirelessness. 160 gigs hard drive for my massive porn collection. she even went out of her way to get me the slick black one thats seriously hard to find.

joy’s in bed with me now in fact. if helen’s in bed with us too, doesnt that technically count as a threesome?

i took a couple hours today to surf around and what i thought would be time wasted, ending up being inspirational. when i first started shooting, i did my very best not to seek out inspiration by viewing the work of other photographers. which i think, might be the exact opposite of what most newbies do. if anything i would view hopelessly bad photography as a lesson in what not to do. maybe just to build my confidence. but i also didnt want anyone’s work to “rub off”. its inevatable. as an artist, you absorb all thats around you. whether you like it or not. i remember being bothered with the idea that im bombarded with billboards, television, and random advertisements that i cant help but consume. i didnt want those things to influence my aesthetic. well things change. and although i rarely seek out other’s work, i have come to find inspiration in it, no matter what their level or choice of subject. i find one thing i like about it and attempt to absorb it. im quite a bit more confident these days, knowing that my vision is strong enough to withstand a little outside influence without compromising my aesthetic as a whole. i can take what i want and leave the rest. the way i view the world is unique. ironically, thats the one thing we all have in common, a unique perspective.

i ventured out and viewed several photographers perspectives and became excited to shoot. so many new things to try, to think of. im looking forward to integrating these thoughts into my upcoming shoots.

im hoping to blog a bunch while im on the road, upping snapshots of my progress on the trip. time will tell whether i decide to live in the moment, as is my preferred method, or spend time documenting the event.

oh, and heres some boobs.

im getting ready for my trip up north. ill be going through san fran, portland, tacoma, seattle, and vancouver. ill be gone for over two weeks. i just got back from spending a bunch of money on travel gear. living in LA, i dont own a real jacket. so theres that and i seem to only own converse all stars, which ive been told don’t fare too well in rain and potentially snow. weak. im now the proud owner of sensible shoes and a badass jacket with enough zippers to fund some factory in taiwan 3 months. i also got a camelback, took the bladder out and bang, its a netbook backpack now. im amazing.

things have been really amazing in my life. im fortunate. and immensely grateful.
