Carnivorous thing

I have no idea what it is but it came out of my imagination today. Maybe my subconscious is trying to say something about the economy. Look, I signed it and everything! Also, it’s cc-by-nc.

Happy new year.

Friday Nights

I sell my photography at Lightproofbox.com, my photo blog. I don’t sell a whole lot, a few photos a month. Some of it is prints but I’d estimate more than half is licenses. Book covers and music mostly, some for ads and signage and the like. But I very rarely see the finished product (here’s one from ’07, for example).

So, I was super pleased when Shon Kornfeld (thanks, Shon!) contacted me and offered to send me a copy of his debut album Friday Nights.

Not a bad looking cover if I do say so myself. The photo is called Super Slab West. It’s a view of the 91 freeway, looking west, shot from the overpass at Lakeview Ave.

This is a picture I did not take

…of brown leaves rolling on wet, golden-green grass as I walked through the park to collect the children after school. The sun shone down from behind me and all around, the kind of golden late afternoon light that trumpets between low puffy storm clouds breaking up after the rain. Ahead, the leaves were blowing slantwise up the hill in great droves before the wind, like hundreds of baby chicks fleeing after their mother. And beyond, in the near distance, dark clouds flowed over the foothills, shadow and mist, silky black animals stalking their prey.

I just want to be ok

Sweet tradition

I received a nice note from a woman I sold a print to last week (this one):

The picture arrived this weekend. It’s gorgeous. Every year for Christmas I give my husband a black and white photograph of the place where we spent our anniversary that year. This year we spent our 5th anniversary actually in Dana Point, but spent one day in Huntington Beach—walked on the pier, had lunch, etc.

I thought that was a nice tradition.

I know where you can not get one of these handsets at a great price. You know, just in case you don’t want one.

Um, thanks?
