Well, it's been a while since I have updated... truth is I don't come around much anymore. I check the photo group and a couple of friends to see what's up with them. The rare set as well, but honestly the images rarely stand out anymore. I think that Cherry's sets are the exception... one or two others perhaps.

This has been a strange summer for me, it took forever for it to actually start feeling like summer weather wise and once summer kicked in, the weather has been very schizophrenic about it. Weather spiking all over the place. I am really hoping for an indian summer, but it is already feeling like autumn in the middle of august...

the big thing has been that I started a new relationship with my high school sweetheart. 20 years later after the fact. It has been surreal to say the least. especially so for the fact that she was living in Salt Lake City, over 1000 miles away. I have family there, and we had met up on a whim when I was visiting them and ended up hooking up. The years in between seemed to just melt away. for 3 months, I made the 2,000 mile round trip on the motorcycle a couple of times. A very hot phone rapport developed in between the visits...

Cutting to the chase; after 4 months of this back and forth, shas moved in. It has been exhilarating and terrifying. I have been such a confirmed bachelor for so long... it's been 8 years since I actually lived with a woman full time. I am concerned that there will be space issues, but am hopeful that we can deal with it. I have been so fucking jaded for so long, unwilling to open the ramparts to my heart for anyone... but here I am. woah. wish me luck.

Other than that, the big news is that my precious Powermac has died. I have yet to come to terms with her death as she is my photo editing system. Hell I think that I spend more time at that computer doing photo work than I do with any human... But get this; She bled to death! Yes, I will repeat; my computer bled to death. Apparently, what was a super advanced liquid cooling system, has been leaking and corroding for some time, until a couple of days ago, she finally gave up the ghost. Imagine my surprise when I opened her up and saw liquid and corrosion! Panic!!!!

I am calling Apple monday to try and get them to deal with this out of warranty, as I have read that some have been successful with this leaking issue. If you have any special computer karma or mantras or whatever, please send it my way.

I am attempting to make do with an old laptop for now. it is not going to be able to do much photo work though. I am so backlogged. I will just have to use this time to focus on the myriad of things I need to get done other than photography (not that this is going to prevent me from shooting).

it's a strange landscape that I seem to be wandering these days. one full of the deeply familiar, yet totally foreign at the same time. almost like a foriegn land populated with people wearing familiar masks...the old is new again and the new is now. creatively I have been in a wasteland...not totally bereft of creative energy, I just don't seem to be able to get it up for myself these days. I have had my blinders on, focusing on being in the here and now and not getting freaked that things aren't flowing the way think I need them to... I am not sure how that is going for me. But I think I am doing ok...I am doing ok.


could use some freakin' sun though.





ps. new pix up on the flickr

I am in Utah visiting family... it's very weird. I have contracted a nasty cold and this morning I was informed that I shall be stuck here 3 days past when i was supposed to be going home. blech. Oh well, it's not the end of the world... it's just a very surreal reality here.Made even more surreal by the maaassive pressure in my head and the buchu-mucous pouring out of said head.

I am so very angry about the state of this country. Angry at enduring the traitors that are our president and his thugs. An anger that I have had to bottle up and focus on anything but the horrors that have been going on, just to stay sane. Angry about the stinking festering mess we are left with, no matter who takes the presidency. I am angry at the powerlessness that I and so many of my peers have felt for the last 6 years as the tide has been running in this presidents favor. And angry at the fact that it doesn't seem to matter now that more people are waking up to the horror we are now mired in... as we are all going to reep the product of this administrations legacy.




PBS ran the first of a 2 part Frontline documentary called Bush's War tonight, watch it online:

Frontline: Bush's War

The second part is running tomorrow. It's worth watching.

My very best friend Elleseven is moving away in the morning and it is just starting to really hitting me.

We spent a very nice evening making diner (she made the best home made pizza- deee-licious!) and playing wii (she kicked my ass). It has been really hard, but I have been trying to be positive... this is a big step for her; a fantastic opportunity. I know that she hates me being sappy, but I am really fucking proud of her. I care about her so very much and am going to miss her like a goddamnmotherfucker.

I love ya Elle. You know that I will always be here for you, no matter what.

Dear World, could you kindly please fuck right off. I am taking my things and going home.

Putewey!

thanks, David
