OCT 27, 2024 // THE LIGHT IN THE WINDOW

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA

Halloween and joy are for children. Grow up!

I was invited to a Halloween Party and decided not to go. What if all choices were predicated upon qualifying for a beautiful companion? On the bright side, we chose to face the window rather than having the light at our back. The shot is relatively well framed. I still don’t understand how you keep the subject in focus if no one is behind the camera.

JULY 6, 2024 // ANTI VENOM

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA

This journal is a record and you record what you record, which creates a pathway. I like reptiles and snakes. Furthermore I would like to live a good life and be a source of positivity so I tried to steer the sailboat more in that direction here.

JULY 5, 2024 // SUMMER LIGHT

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA

I remember that I thought the summer light in the room was pleasant and I should use the camera instrument. You can’t justify yourself in the name of art or psychology. There was a forest witch named Franky who made the movie Aquaman and people all over the world pay extra for the privilege of drinking coffee in front of strangers.

DEC 30, 2023 // C 3PO

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA

The only movie I’ve ever seen is Star Wars. I’ve made lots of movies, none of which have been as culturally influential as Star Wars. Here is one of them.

I wanted to improvise my thoughts on C-3PO into a camera so I did. If you don't like them you should run five miles and swim in cold water and put lipstick on get rid of all your furniture and prescription drugs and then you'll feel better.

JAN 16, 2023 // I SEE DOUBLE

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA

This is too boring for even me to watch. I heard one time that in Japan they have whole TV stations where it’s just people sleeping in perfectly arranged beds, or eating fish soup, or putting on rubber boots or rain on a window. So I thought I wanted to participate because it seemed beautiful and orderly.
