She drank the medicine, a slippery black soapy substance oozing from a worn cup. As the last drop trickled down her throat, she began to feel it move... Curling and slithering in the depths of her belly. How was she to know that her own children would be responsible for her poisoning? They had dabbled too closely to the death realms, and had begun feeding on the dead. A confusing notion when sunlight gave enough food for all, she thought. The snakes had begun to grow, multiply in threads and electrical circuitry, weaving like virus through her blood. She knew the medicine was strong, but at this point there was no turning back- the only way out was through. She surrendered to the squirm until finally in a volcanic eruption, the poison emerged from her body- 10,000 wires ripping and wriggling through her mouth. Waste, cables, batteries, and vapes… Your addiction to the screen, to machine, to death… Christ-like she had made herself a vessel for your sins, to draw it out of you and spit it back to the darkness from hence it came… it might take decades, perhaps centuries, to clear the waste - but the earth mother has fought hard battles before. And plus, she has never seen herself as separate from her children, so naturally the responsibility is up held. 👻👻👻👻 Kali Ma, Tonantzin, Madre Tierra - with love and duty she works to heal your soul….

GREECE - JULY 2024 was a trip of a lifetime. In some ways it doesn’t even feel like it really happened, or that we’re not still over there. Perhaps it’s still too recent to fully process the beauty and awe of it all, but I’m stoked to have brought a whopping 4 cameras with me to help document as best I could. I ended up shooting more rolls of film in the two weeks I was there than I had shot in the past two years combined. Feels like I’m finally getting somewhere with a body of work that I’m proud of & eager to share on the grid. Figured now’s as good a time as any to start trickling out some of my favorite captures, slowly but surely.

Porches - “Itch” — Some lighting setup BTS and 35mm stills I snapped while gaffing the hot new Porches video back in March in upstate New York. A lot of fun was had on this one with the homies. And to the poor souls who were staying at The Holiday Inn Express the night we rolled into town with our motley crew, drinking cases of beer in the lobby til the wee hours of the early morning, until we got kicked out so they could start setting up for breakfast lol, my condolences… . . .

happy “another rotation around the sun” day to my incredibly special # 1 bae // lotta exciting memories were made during the previous 366 days spent knowing*/loving you & the next go around is already shaping up to be even more spectacular from the looks of it. here’s to many more adventures together & memories of adventures past forever. [*to know Conci is to love her] // catch our girl looking cute in: 1. Brooklyn 2. LA 3. Eugene, OR 4. Trieste, Italy 5. Fontana di Trevi, Rome 6. Yamashiro Hollywood Halloween 7. Griffith Park chess sesh 8. The T*co B*ll Film Festival @ the Elysian Theater where else?! 9. On Hollywood Boulevard channeling her inner Bene Gesserit after a high energy matinee viewing of Dune: Part Two at the Chinese Theatre, of course. 10. bonus: it’s ya girl’s squirrel friend. we sure love a sleepy creature round these parts.

i’m just realizing i haven’t posted anything on here in 6 months. 6 whole months of living life, exploring different parts of the globe, and creating/embracing the fruits of love and labor alike. also realizing i’d left my insta grid off balance this entire time, lol, embarrassing much? well i’m still here & i’m not going anywhere anytime soon, ok. i’ve been shooting a bunch of film with my beloved samurai half frame this whole time & i’m gonna be shooting a whole lot more than that, if yoooouuuuu can believe it. who knows, maybe i’ll even get better at sharing it all with my friends, fans, and followers in a more timely manner too. that might be cool, yeah? anyways, here’s a bunch of snaps I took all the way back in july on a camping trip in New Mexico, with the exception of the first shot which i took in Silver Lake around the same time give or take ok byeeeee . . . . . #film #portraits #staybrokeshootfilm #samuraihalfframe #halfframe #samurai #nature #familyportraitures #travel #newmexico #silverlake #proimagephoto #photography #attention #givemetheattention #backonthegram #hashtag #latergram #fujifilm200

June in Brooklyn ||| i’ve been experimenting with post-processing some of these half frame shots & seeing how far I can push the image since the second roll i loaded was hella expired; the last slide is the image straight out of being developed & scanned. . . . . . . #35mmfilm #kyocerasamurai #halfframecamera #portrait #photoshop #halftone #digitalcollage

Saturday Is For Steves ||| as soon as i signed on to gaff this indie feature i knew i would need a strong best boy i could trust to help keep me organized & sane since we’d be running a tow genny for run of show. steve szmed @stephenszmed.tv quickly became my first call & he went above and beyond my expectations keeping the juice flowing and setups advancing like clockwork. another huge & unexpected boon to those first few days was having the muscularity and eagerness of “Swiss Army” Steve @saltandacid during big moves. an immensely helpful extra pair of hands for G&E and a warm friendly presence we’d noticeably miss whenever he wasn’t on set, “Swiss Army” Steve made swinging that M40 + CRLS combo from one side of the house to the other a breeze. . . . . . . #35mm #kyocerasamurai #halfframecamera #filmphotography #portrait

June in Norwood, NJ ||| the kyocera samurai arrived in the mail the same week i was set to start gaffing an indie feature out in new jersey, so a good chunk of these first two rolls naturally became a documentation of that now infamous time. i’ve been torn on how or even if i should post a lot of these given how everything soon went downhill, but at the end of the day i’m beyond happy to have the photos & the memories & new friendships made stronger thru trauma bonding, if nothing else.
