in the silence of night, the distant sound of an alarm, a building on fire with nobody in it, the future colliding with the present, a glimpse into a dark window.

but not enough time to see.

a moment within a moment, all to do is feel. embrace it - exist in it and breathe, because it was only just a glimpse.

Welcome, 2012;

to the pretentious

2011-12-18T00:09:00.001-05:00

"But the present is not a potential past; it is the moment of choice and action; we can not avoid living it through a project; and there is no project which is purely contemplative since one always projects himself toward something, toward the future; to put oneself “outside” is still a way of living the inescapable fact that one is inside; those French intellectuals who, in the name of history, poetry, or art, sought to rise above the drama of the age, were willy-nilly its actors more or less explicitly, they were playing the occupier’s game. "

Held in the bosom of our assumptions,

he seeks comfort in his purchase,

sliding slowly from the grip of his mothers arms,

intentionally ignorant of the anxiety on his back,

grasping for air as the sanctioned desires drown him in their algorithms
culture swept into the back pocket of pleasure.

"Marshall is part of the new direction music is taking, standing in the shadows alongside other bedroom superstars such as The xx, James Blake and Nicholas Jaar. But even if his talent empathises with a personal, introverted approach, he stands alone as a benchmark talent."

Just fell across artist Sabrina Brubaker

http://eatbleach.com/

Her stuff is rad.

I wonder if she'll ever be vain searching her name on google and come across this post. In that case I wonder if she'll find it interesting that I chose only a selection of her work which I could most relate to. And what that means to her as an artist.

Either way.

I'd love to one day use artists in projects that get's their stuff out there - How awesome would it be if stuff like this was all around us. We could maybe reflect and perceive the world differently, according to the particular artists eyes - open up our own perspective.

Nudity awaits her strengthened heart

2011-07-20T00:18:00.001-04:00

life is not a promised wish - nor a guaranteed arrest with love, pain and satisfaction,
nor a light that is shining or a ground that does not shake,
like a spinning compass surfing on lake placid,
a plethora of energies all feeling each other out and as soon as you're getting the hang of the wave,
an entirely new set comes in ready to challenge and shake what used to comfort your fall,
a winter of deceit that takes your hind legs and puts them on rotisserie,
ever spinning with a flame in your face but always watching from afar drooling at what is not known.
The taste of assumption wet on the lips of the blinded animal - eating itself with glowing ember burning holes in his already hollow eyes....
the crowd stood up and cheered as the vows were said,
the holy matrimony of truth and acceptance,
you just can't help but feel every ounce of their intimacy oozing into the air,
and hier to a kingdom of support from a group of individuals,
addicted to the taste of purity and innocence at an age past puberty in the essence of humanity,
in the essence of a moment that was shared by all,
a focus followed by fermented grapes and a high that takes you into the night,
a full fledged commitment into their futures..

Congratulations Owen & Stephan - and best wishes to the next chapters of your lives, together.

"the dog is barking, and my paranoia is at a peak I have not experienced since my childhood fears of seeing my parents naked from their chosen roles, had sunk their teeth into my trembling body. but alas it is back, and luckily the strength of my growing pains has created a system of roots that keep me afloat in pushing forwards - at times when a dark window could hold victim to a shady terrorist, one that has poisoned an otherwise healthy existence in an effort to survive his own demise - yes afloat we are, and will continue to be, because the network of unconditional love before you is not easily diseased by the virus you emit. The stench from your filthy hole in this world is only worsened by your attempts to dig further and deeper beyond your moral and far away from your truths. Only death will silence your wishes if you continue to dig, and I will not stand in it's way, for it comes from the depths that you waste your days tunnelling in - getting lost in your own selfish satisfaction and incompetent behaviour. No, I will not stand in it's way, but merely walk away from the creature that dare suck the energy from such loved ones of mine - advantage was stolen in a cheating effort to further your irrelevant existence with glory and self worth, and now chance holds a biased on your head for the crimes you hath commit.

I wish you nothing, and do not bare fare well - just hope a vein of madness in your next victim will put an end to the wicked games you play."

I've been shooting between 7-15 models a week this summer and have the opportunity to work with many cool faces. I haven't been shooting a lot of video, but last week when I worked with Claire (Spot6) I felt the only way to capture her quirky personality was through video.

I took a few fast clips in our 2 hour shoot and put them together. She is just the most adorable thing to watch - giggling, twitching, looking around and then making the most serious expressions.

This girl is only 14 and she is signed in Vancouver, Toronto, New York, and Paris (where she can't even work until she's 16). I'm looking forward to seeing where she goes!

2011-06-18T20:20:00.001-04:00

She concerns herself with anxiety and worry - tense from the world she creates around her - the future she lives in and the past she filters....beauty and lust for life does not exist in specified moments based on social observation and commonality throughout time, "Yeah when I was your age life was pretty good....but then" - a thread of people I have met in the past few weeks in respect to my spirit at 21..but beauty is a moment felt sensually within a moment - where expression is not a concern because you are feeling everything all at once. the clean oxygen filling your lungs and your hands gently caressing your arms, your eyes dazzled with colours, shapes, lines, sizes but all distinction completely forgotten as the body engages in the swallowing of existence.

2011-06-11T21:28:00.003-04:00

there are times when change happens all at once, there is a sting like pulling off an old bandage. The comfort of all the things you know and thought were medicating your skin have mustered for too long, the infection starts when the stillness of a moment in time - the stale air untouched is ignored and dismissed... a parasite that takes over your body if you're not willing to see. But then it all changes, you say yes and pull - it hurts, it stings - discomfort/anxiety.. but sometimes, sometimes you just need to breathe. let it breathe - my life and thoughts are not here to be preserved, maintained and kept in their cage - i am here to make mistakes when exploring my imagination, laugh when it's funny & cry when it hurts - the boxes and storage of the mind are of the mind quite literally - and the passenger can only drive when they are willing to take the wheel.

rip off some band-aids today - change is exciting when you invite it over for dinner, it will entertain you and teach you a thing or two, you'll never be sure what this guest will say next - and that is where the magic sleeps
