An old rooster house sits on my Dad's property, a remnant of bygone days. When I moved here at age five, it looked like a typical Minnesota farm. There was a barn, silo, chicken koop, grainery and various other out-buildings; all red with white trim. Time has painted and reshaped the only place that has ever really felt to me like home, but this one little building where Casey and I as kids had eggfights remains, bent but unaltered. I took this photo on the same morning as this one out by the property line.

Love you Mom.



11.13
Pictures from a conversation about influences with Photographer Michal Daniel at his home. In the first shot he's handing me a book of Henri Cartier-Bresson. In the other two he's flipping for examples of Giacomelli. But to best understand much of Michal's current work, find a copy of Many are Called by Walker Evans.


11.12
Photographed Wookiefoot onstage for the first time on Halloween. Good stuff.


11.11
Taken, of course, on Halloween. These two were a sort of team costume... even performed a duet. And yes they are both female, if you were wondering.

This is a shot I've wanted to get for a long time. Dave breaks more guitar strings than anyone I know because of how hard he rails on his instrument. Peak moment.


11.08
This is shot attempts to make lemonade out of the lemon that is my wide-angle lens. I love the converter lens my brother Dan gave me, but not all the lens flares it creates. These bubbly blue distractions bug me simply because they do not actually exist in the scene. Sometimes however, things which detract from a picture can instead complete it by becoming the notes leaving Michael's sax. Spots and flares can become all sorts of thing: hallucinations, strange antennae, gossamer fairy wings or a crown of tears.

you get to me like old time religion did

in my heart when I was a kid

you're sweet gospel music to my ears

you know how to ease all my fears

and from my heart to yours all I can say is

hey baby hey baby hey baby hey



and as we go on through the deal I

I know that we won't always feel

real wonderful

life ain't like that



but I want to stay right by your side

check out the view enjoy the ride

together

with all our loved ones



I want to plant a little garden with you now

take care of a piece of the earth somehow

and tend it when we're old and gray and

try to straighten up and say, well,

I'm so glad to see you today

hey baby hey baby hey baby hey

Very skunky. Very skunky indeed.

Ever since I can remember, this big oversize Andrew Wyeth book has sat, randomly open, on a hutch in the upstairs hall in my parent's home. Its missing pages hang here and there in frames. The influence that had is clear to me in this picture. I was not thinking of Wyeth that morning in the field. But there he is.

This was shot in infared at the 331 Club in Minneapolis. The Keep Aways were one of a few Duluth bands playing there that night as part of the Sound Unseen festival.
