JUNE 19, 2021 – PASADENA, CA “The black widow is sleeping.” RECORDED IN PASADENA [START OF AUDIO] Good morning. June 19, 2021, 8:15 AM in the morning. Looks like I should be lowering the levels on this thing, but how? Record level. Let’s try that. Okay, that seems better, I think. Pretty long day yesterday, I woke up early, was on the bike for a … Continue reading MOTORCYCLE DIARY: 3

MOTORCYCLE DIARY: 1
I bought an (almost) 20-year-old BMW R 1150 RS in May of this year with the intention of flying to California to pick it up and ride it home to NY (with a stop in Great Falls, MT for the BMWMOA national rally). In addition to my cameras, I brought along a Zoom H4n audio recorder to keep a diary while on the road. I’m … Continue reading MOTORCYCLE DIARY: 1
STATUS REPORT: DECADE PROJECT
Update 11/12/2020: 2019 A little over 11,000 images were delivered to Mario this morning, and his machine is already performing whatever mysterious AI magic it performs to begin the selection process. I’m fascinated by the machine learning process he’s employing to choose the pictures that will represent the year. In 2019 I traveled the world for 6 weeks, taking a container ship across the Atlantic, … Continue reading STATUS REPORT: DECADE PROJECT

Once these final rolls are processed and the task is complete, the drive will go to Germany so Mario’s machine can crunch data and perform whatever magic it will perform. (Clearing out thIs 2019 film is my focus right now.) 2013: The black and … Continue reading DECADE PROJECT – REMAINING WORK

DECADE PROJECT
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. At the end of each year (or really – whenever … Continue reading DECADE PROJECT
I AM ALIVE
Various updates: WEBSITE: My previous wesbite was hosted by Virb, which was acquired by GoDaddy who shut it down unceremoniously. Mixed reports as to whether customers were notified in advance, but I never received any email, so one day my website was simply 404. I had no backup, so: here’s a new website! With nothing on it! DECADE PROJECT: Still photographing. The project is now … Continue reading I AM ALIVE
