Like a Rose Comin' Out of a Photo


Finally got a good night's sleep after no heat for three days and a landlord that is a little lazy and plumbers that have to go home at 4:59pm, whether the job's done or not - the city that never sleeps - indeed!

Then - the fried chicken fingers and fries while watching my only sports guilty pleasure (I’m from NC dammit!) the March Madness bullshit kinda messed with me gurgle gurgle gurgle, but I managed to counter-act it with several pints of Goosehead beer.

I gotta take better care of myself...

Met Naomi Harris last night randomly at a gallery opening we both attended in Williamsburg. She is in the Taschen book with me and her work documenting the Swinger Culture in the US is fascinating. She obviously gains their trust and takes some amazing shots. The mind boggles, then makes a movie, then boggles again...

She's was really cool. Always great to know that your peers aren't assholes...

Burning through photos today. Randomly, scattered, no attention span. But burning none-the less...

One of my favorite music quotes is from the film "X The Unheard Music" - Bill Morgan's groundbreaking 1984 feature film about X. Ray Manzarek (from the Doors, who produced their first four albums) says that the first thing he read about the band was a local review that said "Sounds like murder."

This shot of Sienna makes me think of murder. Especially if you look at it with X's "It's Who You Know" playing in the background.

"The Unheard Music" is the best "rock" movie ever made... nice to know you're on board, JMG.
