Fun fact: I liked zardoz.

Every year our basil garden gives up another handful of broken glass from years past. The amount has diminished each year, but putting in replacement timbers this year exposed some sections that had been covered for years.

At Chartres Cathedral, 8.9 m high by 2.18 m wide, the window has been restored twice, once in the 1920's, and then in 1996. I was doing a little study before reading TS Eliot's "Murder In The Cathedral,". Now I have learned it is not exactly an Agatha Christy type read, I will enter the reading of that play steeled.

Edit: fisherdah let me know in a comment below that the creator of this board company is incarcerated for some very heinous shit. I appreciate the callout, thank you.

We met Kim (pronounced "keem") on one of the Barcelona breakwaters yesterday. We saw him practicing wind surfing with his skateboard and immediately b-lined to ask if we could take some photos with him.

He talked with us for quite a while. He's a windsurfing instructor, ski instructor, and something else I can't remember. He's also 65 years old. I'd have guessed no older than 50.

I was immediately drawn to his board. I love the 80's board shapes. I asked him if it was an '85 (random guess), and he said it's from '82. I can't recall if he picked it up in California or Florida.

I submitted this for review today with the hopes it'd get picked up for the project, but it didn't, which isn't surprising. It doesn't really fit our brief. I wanted an upside down american flag to go up in an exhibit for the next year, though.

Just discovered that Carver died at 50, a number in my rearview mirror, and I just don't know what to think.

You’ve heard RJ but never this like this

My favorite frame from today's shoot. This is Nico. Nico saw me photographing my kids at the skatepark back in August or September and approached me asking if I'd like to do some photos together. We shot a few frames in that park and I took his portrait. Really warm, kind human.

A couple of months later I reached out and asked if he'd be interested in doing some portraiture for one of my classes. He immediately agreed. We did some wild light painting and acrobatic stuff (he used to do Capoeira). It was a really fun shoot and we agreed to do more in the future.

Jump to about a week ago. I was talking to my team about maybe getting in touch with him for a shoot on the coast for our project. The very next day he reaches out to let me know he's back from Argentina. It's either a universe thing or he's the life force behind targeted ads.

Today's shoot was so much fun. We emulated some iconic shots from J. Grant Brittain and played around on these breakwater blocks. He's not fearless but close to it. Very balletic, yoga-etic, punketic, etc etc.

Among many talents, he's a tattoo artist as well. I plan to work with him on a piece soon.
