Tribute to Mike Mills

"I was feeling sad.
I drove to the Pacific Ocean.
I still felt sad."

Soulmates

Same design, same colors, same route, and... they go everywhere together.

Carspool

If cars carpooled... would it be a "carspool"?

NYC 2010-2011

A beautiful snow-covered trip to New York... and Miss Sharon Jones herself.

New Pornographers t-shirt

Though mentioned elsewhere (hello, Twitter!), I thought I should mention that my New Pornographers t-shirt is now for sale online via the band's Cinderblock store here.

Happy shopping and happy belated holidays!

Somewhere Better Than This Place, 1

I recently began working on a new series for an upcoming show this month in San Diego. This is the first in the series- in particular, a collage of memories surrounding my hometown (Calexico) and home county (Imperial). Some things hold more personal significance than others, though I didn't want to exclude anything that had a potentially beautiful aesthetic quality. Also included: a portrait of my parents on Christmas Eve, circa mid-1970s.

Polaroids

I finally gave in to shooting a portion of my last pack of Polaroid 600 film after about a year (or perhaps more?) of hoarding it in a dark corner on my bookshelf. I took my beloved camera out to the Redondo Beach arcade -a total time warp- for this special occasion.

Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings

It's been a while since I focused on any sort of portrait, so I figured Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings would make for a nice little warmup. Without going into it too much, I was trying to maintain a retro feel by keeping it mostly "black and white" while giving it a slight modern element with a little bit of color. So... did you spot all 8 Dap-Kings? (;
