Interventions Show

This is a sign I made for the Intervention Show at CalArts. This is also my first installation piece, it sure beats having to measure, hang and level stuff to the wall.

The show runs from April 25 through May 1 at CalArts in A402

Hike Naked

Here are a couple of photographs i took of some of my signs as part of my intervention project. I made two signs telling people to hike naked and to expect to see nude hikers. I put the signs up on a hiking trail to hopefully give hikers a laugh and something to think about on their hikes.

Passing Between Us

Passing Between Us is a series of photographs taken in the kitchen of a busy restaurant. This space is designed to be used by many people and maximize the efficiency of the employees. Often times the people who work in this kitchen are seldom seen and will often pass through the space just like the dishes they are washing.

It Was a Dark and Stormy Night... OK, Just Foggy

Open 24 Hours

This photograph is from a series titled "22:00 to 06:00". The interest for this project came as a result of my love for night photography. When I was out photographing at night I began to notice certain places were open all night. I though it was interesting that these places needed to be open all night. To me it seemed to me it seemed like more money was being lost than made during the graveyard shift. I also wondered what kinds of people visited these places during the hours of 12 and 6 am.

I photographed a Denny's, 7-Eleven, Jack in the Box, Yum Yum Donuts and 76 gas station. After I photographed these places, I went and talked to some of the employees at the locations. I found out that most of the employees were more than willing to talk to me. I wondered if the response would have been the same if I had gone during the day. I asked if a lot of people visited and was told that quite a few people did. I was also told that most of the people who went to these places after 2 am were usually people who had just gotten out of a bar or club and wanted something to eat or needed to get gas. They also had to occasional traveler stop in for a last minute snack or fill up.

I found this project to be quite interesting, I met some interesting people and learned a few things along the way. I know that this is something that I will come back to in the future and I am looking forward to it.

Doing It In the Rain

I don't know why but I love taking photographs during conditions when most people would not want to leave their house. This photograph was taken by my girlfriend while I was photographing in the rain.

Experience of Silence

There's nothing like listening to the sounds of silence!

I'm feeling a little more motivated to make work

I just finished the Post BFA Survival Practicum today. It was a really fun class. I feel like I learned quite a lot of information from people who already went through what I'm going to go through in about a year. I'm feeling a little more motivated to make work after this practicum which is a good thing.
