keep a close distance

from your subject matter




I always tell the girls never
take it seriously. If you never
take it seriously then you never
get hurt. if you never get hurt then
you always have fun, and if you ever
get lonely you can just go to the
record store and visit
your friends.

les demoiselles de hamilton

david hamilton is/was
a controversial figure in
the photography world

appropriate or not

I find his approach to
be very classical
respectful too

scans from the
1973 book


although today's
younger generation
of fashion photographer's
seem to be following in
his footsteps w/o
much dissent


times have changed,
but back in the 90's:

This is Walter Cronkite. Good night.





when journalism
had poise


1916 - 2009


before scrolling headlines,
porn star hair news anchors
and sensational ramblings
of nothingness....there
was walter cronkite


i normally don't profile people


but growing up
in a journalist household,
i looked up to him.


cronkite had a
way with words


he had a backbone.


one could say
his unwavering
eloquence, integrity
and humanity
saved lives


to conclude,
a clip for you.


and for my dad...

Old anchormen, you see, don't fade away;
they just keep coming back for more.
And that's the way it is.
