Barely a day has gone by without taking photos. I'm actually taking a break right now from editing today's pile...

Monday and Tuesday were birthdays of two very dear friends. Aaron Muszalski's birthday thing involved a gathering of friends at the racetrack in Berkeley. Everyone was fabulously dressed. Suits, dresses, hats. To watch the race of Quantum Theory would have affected the outcome. We all looked away.
Later, in another place, we played darts. Burstein and I quickly adopted the strategy of throwing all three darts at once.
Suzanne sketched throughout the night. Check out the drawings on her flickr page.
Old friends and new friends. One of the new friends (Eden) and I created a game out of sucking at darts. You get points for making all of the darts hit the floor, and you always throw all the darts at once.

Slim's birthday, 2009

Mike Estee turned 31 on Tuesday, and gathered some friends for a party before flying off to Berlin. Here's the evidence:

And the final set for the moment - the Prop 8 protests in San Francisco. Once again, we, as a species, proved that we fail at civilization and at being reasonable. The protests are getting tiring. Can't we be done with this yet? There aren't actually any logical reasons for the crap behind Prop 8. That means game over for the idiots, right? Oh yeah... you can't fight crazy with logic and reason. It's an easy thing to forget. But, what *do* you fight it with?

At the Fishtank in Oakland, it was a night of music. Corpus Callosum took the stage, playing until midnight.

I created an etsy store for selling prints. There’s only a few things up so far, but I’ll be adding more soon.

I just reuploaded a few older projects thanks to some poking by friends. Since I tend to be more concerned with new projects, and concepts I don’t yet understand, the things I’ve already done often become neglected. It usually takes someone to say, “Hey, what happened to the….[project description]..?” for me to bring it out again, dust off the prints or recover the files from some forgotten directory, and make it accessible again.

So, if there is something I’ve made that you’re trying to find, or I’ve expressed an idea that you think should exist in the world, remind me.

Last night I brought back three more projects:

Stitches
Stitches, 2007
large format photography on sheets made from 35mm film.

Persistence
Persistence, 2008
large format stitched film from my residency in Vienna with monochrom.
