Sup.

I thought I'd start with a few things about myself.

I put two spaces after every sentence.  I think it lets a paragraph breathe nicely.

I love writing with refrigerator magnets.  It forces me to play with language and create a story or a scene or an emotion out of what is really just a clump of words.  I'll probably post some pieces of stuff up later.

I woke up this morning and I wanted to take a magical journey.  The kind after which the sun starts to set and you hear chatter in the warm breeze; it's surreal but you don't think to question it because your engine is revving in your chest and when the light turns green you're going to floor it just to feel the force on your body.

Comfortable underwear can be the foundation for a beautiful day.

I feel strongly about a lot of things and photography is one of them.  I'm not sure about its place as an art-form, but I do know that there is some major potential for expression.  Don't get me wrong there's some major potential for crap, but sometimes I see some things that really speak to me or at least things that catch my eye.  The only problem is that I am quite picky.

I think that a single photograph has a limited potential for expression and if you put that photograph into a series or a work of photographs, this potential is exponentially increased.  What's interesting here is that many of strongest photos might seem boring if viewed as a standalone, but the context of the other photos reveals the strength of this photographer's vision.  I like Been There and Getting Lost, but most of them are good.

Check this out.  I am a big fan of street photography and candid photographs.  A lot of people call it creepy, but I think that there is something to be revealed the expression of a person who is off in his or her own world.  Privacy is a really interesting concept anyway.  But most importantly it's a great sentiment.

Since this is my first post I figure I owe you some sort of explanation.

• rants
• ampersands
• poem fragments
• philosophy (more rants)
• lists
• assorted internet artifacts
• whims
• more whims

I'll leave you with this:

The Flaming Lips-It Overtakes Me/The Stars Are So Big, I Am So Small... Do I Stand A Chance?

I love the Flaming Lips because: a) they're wacky b) they're upfront about it c) they know how to have a good time.  Seriously, see them in concert.

Cheers,

Matt
