Updates + New Galleries up now!


What is it about junk? People love junk. Love to have junk, keep junk and collect junk. My goal is to throw one thing out every day. Get rid of junk. That photo is actually a store! A junk store! I honestly could have spent all day photographing their junk, but their were Cows next door, so I wanted to go see them. More on all that once I finish scanning and re-building the new site.. in the mean time.. go throw one thing out- it will make you feel better. So for all the odd shots that I have that don't really fit into a gallery, I now have a the Holga Board. A dozen or so random shots that will change every month or so... have a look. I also finally got to meet a cow. Kick ass.

That is a Gorilla, and those are RailRoad Tracks.


Its funny.. I get pretty cool emails from all over the world, and I appreciate each one. But I get the most emails about one image in particular, the Gorilla on the Tracks. So I thought I would share the story and set the record straight. First, that is not a real Gorilla, its a guy in a Gorilla suit. I don't just have them sitting around the house, but since my Mom owned a costume store, I did have access to some odd stuff... So here was the idea: We had to do an Ad while I was going to school in Philly, and I had a great idea. I won't say what that idea is, as someday I will actually pull it off, but lets just say it involved a guy in a Gorilla suit and some innocent bystanders. As we soon found out, you can't just walk into places with a Gorilla suit. People have no sense of humor. So while we were taking a break, the model wandered down the tracks, sat down, and picked up a discarded boom box. I quickly got off exactly one shot, and that was it. Something about the Gorilla staring at the radio that just seemed poetic.. this primitive beast staring at a discarded chunk of technology.

Or, just some guy in a costume sitting on the rail road tracks.
