Motorcycle Diary, Day 2: still practicing and prepping in Pasadena.

MOTORCYCLE DIARY: 1

Bringing the new website up to date with updates on various projects. Here’s the latest on the Decade Project, the photography thing I began on January 1, 2012. Wait, what the Hell is it? Good question. Short version: I shoot 10 years’ worth of film pictures and I don’t look at any negatives or proofs.Continue reading “DECADE PROJECT”
