Steve has been a fixture at the beach since the Sixties. He is the evangelist keeper of the mudpit. On any given day he can tell you exactly how many people have enjoyed the mud during the season, and he announces it with a voice fit for NFL Films.

I know, I know... another morning landscape of this scene, but I love it. I also took a series of pictures as I approached the field. Wonderful light.

George and Jen making out at the point. This happened when he approached me to get a photo made of him and his fiance. I waited until near sunset and brought the two of them to the point and had them sit. "What should we do?" she asked.

"Ignore me, enjoy being together," I responded.

A highly magnified macro photograph of a strand of spider web strung between two trees (one of which can be made out in the background). You can view the entire photo, or a close up of how the sunlight refracted in the strand.


09.24
Carved a rough peace sign into the sitting log and wanted a picture. The "We ♥ Joe" does refer to me, if you were wondering. Dani wrote that there.


09.23
Two planes, two exposures. Not a true double exposure, though. A merging of two photos.

As this was shot, Johnny was telling me how dumpster diving usually yeilds occasional bottles with an inch or two left, but this bottle of Tequila was found full. "God is good and smiles on me sometimes," he said.

Alayna with one of her drawings.

Roger once told me how hard it was to resist laughing out loud when a frustrated cop walked out into the middle of the beach and yelled: "How come it is that every time I come here no one is ever drinking and yet the trashcans are overflowing with empties?"

Dani doing her toes to match her dress.

I prefer the verisimilitude of the nude photograph as an isolated liberating personal experiment on the part of the model. For this reason I do not hire professionals to pose and this has its share of hazzards: jealous boyfriends and the post-shoot queasies chief among them. This shot (shrunk to obscure her): has been temporarily removed due to a case of the latter. After giving me the go ahead to post it, she started thinking about how many people in her life she had told about the site before the shoot, got cold feet, and sheepishly asked me if I could take it down just for a while.

The image has been reposted now that the six months she requested have passed.

The field east of my Dad's house is one of my favorite landscapes to photograph. It has appeared here before and on the cover of Trampled by Turtles recent album.

It's always striking when someone expresses your exact feelings about something in common, as Dani did about this place, writing them on the sitting log shortly after I took her portrait.


09.07
This was taken following the storm that blew in with the UFOs.


09.06
In the back stairwell at work, I climbed Fucci's ladder to make a self portrait in the ceiling light fixture. The result is cold... the camera like a weapon... the bullet... the distorted selves... I don't really like this image of me, but there it is.

The UFOs came in low over the lake beneath a skyfull of eyeballs. Rohan Craig McGregor saw them first. Neither of the craft were moving that fast, as they were really only clouds. So instead, as Douglas Adams said, "they hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't."


09.04
Taken around the same time as the last one, but a couple nights later, the planets (Jupiter and Venus, it turns out) have switched places over the fascinatingly fractal west end of Cedar Lake.
