word up: halloween

"I said the best part about holidays, like halloween, is gettin a phat-ass black limo, a couple bottles of 'chris', some bangin hoes, and getting hammered to the point of blackin out! That's what halloween is all about homes." - this dude. _b

words

I threw some new images up from the shooting I've been doing in the western suburbs. I met a really interesting group of guys (eighth grader skaters) this past week. I spent some time skating and shooting with them last Friday. It was like going back in time. I had a blast. Hopefully I'll get the chance to spend some more time with them and make some new pictures. _b

skate spots should be closer

youthfully yellow.

I've been shooting in the western suburbs every week for the past month now. There is so much there to shoot. I really enjoy it. These places feel so removed from the "Chicago" I know. I'm starting to remember things about my experiences growing up in the suburbs of Grand Rapids. It's funny how things that where once so familiar can now seem so akward. more soon. _b

scanning tokyo

I've spent this cold-ass rainy day locked on the 11th floor of Columbia College in the digital lab. I just finished scanning the remaining film from Tokyo. I ended up with about 136 photos that I dig; out of way too many. I'm going to design and layout a small book to display them in. There are a few cheap self-publishing sites on the net that offer printing services. I'm thinking about using LULU. They seem to have some nice options. Anyway, now it's editing time and tying to figure out a theme for the book. As of right now it looks like it's going to be pretty broad... _b
