time is the fire

i am not dead.  i’m just taking a lot of photographs and tweeting and talking and eating and Not Blogging. but i aim to change that this year. no ETA; it’s all intent at this particular moment.

props to the masters

Thunderdome!

From Black Rock City, circa 2002 – while sadly, I wasn’t there, Amani and some of her friends were, and I’m hosting this footage for them. There’s two parts to the video; Amani is in the second one, and her bout is INTENSE.

watching the inauguration

Today it feels like the 21st century finally started.
It’s hard to know what to make of the last 8 years or so in comparison; I guess we were still getting our shit together after the Cold War ended, leaving us with little but consumerism, swagger and irony to define our roles as Americans in the [...]

Joriel and Sagan

My two favorite people. Joriel looks so adorable in this picture I could just eat her up – as I told her at the time, she “looks like someone I’d very much like to know.” She, and now my son, make me crazy in the best and worst ways, and I can’t imagine my days [...]

Barack Obama Is Your New Boyfriend

What an amazing night! Let’s hope he respects us in the morning, and makes good on all that pillow talk…
I had an email conversation with some friends back east in Virginia (which Obama carried, thank you very much). It was suggested that, essentially, we had avoided a corrupt dictatorship in favor of an empty [...]

Offbeat Bride: Halloween Edition

My delightful friend Ariel Meadow Stallings had me photograph her for the purpose of an Offbeat Bride posting and general tomfoolery (some of you may remember my photographs of her book tour last year). The best of this past Sunday’s shoot is in her Flickr photostream. Enjoy!

we interrupt all things baby for a moment to show you footage of Imperial forces in San Francisco:

chow, baby

in case anyone’s vaguely interested, my pics of a Yelp Elite event back in May at Crimson C in Pioneer Square are finally viewable on their photostream; they’ve been “private” in the interim due to some sort of something or another. Jenny George came too, so you at least have that to look forward to.

unification

i just imported my Secret City blog. it was strangely simple, but now i feel the need to go back spruce the old stuff – there’s a significant lack of post titles, and a few dead image links – but overall i’m pretty satisfied with the conversion. thanks again to Ariel, who guided me to [...]

traveling companions

the next stage of our journey together is almost here. in my mind’s eye, i imagine ancient stone steps and marvelous caves, but no cliffs or pits that we can’t navigate. this is the oldest and the newest of stories, a tale that is always beginning and never really ending.

returned

a conversation with my friend Amani yesterday inspired an idea for an altruistic service: a means for people who had taken something that didn’t belong to them to return the thing to the rightful owner, anonymously, through a third party (me). they would donate whatever they could afford to cover the shipping costs and any [...]
