went to colorado last weekend. weird place.
but i got to do a project through maxed art while i was there, which was really fun. people in different cities took 27 images with disposable cameras which will soon be available for all to see. i’ll keep you posted. but for now, here are my favorites and some more highlights can be found here.

the beauty of tucson summers is putting up with the bullshit hot and humid sucky weather during the day and basking in the glory of the evening downpours.
today was the perfect example of this.
i thought i was going to die on my ride to work this afternoon. as well as my ride home in the pouring rain. but it was once i accepted the fact that i was going to be soaked no matter what, it was an amazing experience.
there are few things better then riding home and splashing through puddles with a good friend.
i know i said this last time, but i’m going to repeat myself anyways. it’s reallyreallyreally nice to know that there are still great people living in this town that are worth investing time into. it makes me feel 100% better about spending another year here.
so thanks.
it’s comforting to know that there are still great people here that are worth investing time into.
the perfect weekend consists of:
- sleeping until your body decides when to get up, not your alarm
- che’s at 330
- 17th street market for $2 steaks
- homemade guacamole for the masses
- swimswimswim
- cranberry juice with a side of black metal
- brushfire
- naps
- free furniture
- naps
- midnight movie with my lovelies
this weekend reminded me what it is i love about tucson.

today i fell in love with someone i’ve known for quite some time now. i’ve always appreciated him, but never really understood what made him so special.
until today.
there was something about seeing him in a different, unfamiliar space that made me look closer. or maybe it was just that it was seeing a new side of him, that i’d never really explored.
i think it was the juxtaposition between that image [circumnavigation of the blood] and this text taken from a lecture he gave:
i know now [and should have known earlier] that we are incapable of ever seeing anything new. consequently, we would never photograph anything unless we have become attentive to it because we already have a part of it within ourselves. as we go around we are only paying attention to those things which already have occupied us, or, better still, are so much a part of us that we lean into the next situation finding that we are already there.
oh, frederick sommer. where have you been all my life? you’re so much more then cut up pieces of butcher paper. how could i have neglected you for so long? and will you ever forgive me? i like to think he’ll let it slide.
i went to the scottsdale museum of contemporary art today and had a lovely evening with mr. sommer, and a new somebody i’ve been looking into, james turrell. his piece, knight rise, looks like this:
the photo doesn’t do it justice. i laid down on the bench that circles around the room and started up at the sky for 20 minutes. and it was amazing. the subtle color shifts of blues and whites was beautiful. and i can’t wait for his piece in the crater to open.
maybe phoenix isn’t all bad after all…
