Character Sketches

When I go out and observe people and events, I'm constantly logging an evolving mental description of them, their environments, influences and movements. Capturing all of the above with a camera serves a great purpose in conveying what I notice; however, there comes a moment when it becomes necessary to juxtapose those images with words. In searching for the best way to do that, I landed on the notion of posting a series of brief visual and verbal portrayals of those who have caught my eye. So, without further adieu, good people, I will now begin to provide you with these such character sketches. Remember, when I say "without further adieu," I mean "in about an hour." I need more coffee first.

Sawdust Restaurants with Oyster Shells

Once again, I offer you a title with no relevance to the post itself. I pulled it from T.S. Eliot's The Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrock, which has been one of my favorite pieces of literature since I first read it in high school.
Moving along.........
My posts on this here site have slowly, but surely, been tapering off. Since returning to Georgia, I've been rather preoccupied with projects, and have also been taking photographs for a local website called New York is Boring. It has honestly been a lot of fun, and has also helped me to become acquainted with the Georgia music scene. I've been able to capture some great moments of some great musicians, and as a result have a collection of pretty high resolution photographs. That being said, uploading them here would probably take an eternity. So, if you like to peruse pictures, below is a link to my Flickr page. Enjoy!!!

Beats Happening

Well, I'm reaching the end of the road here at SCAD, which means a demo reel must be compiled. As a fun aside, I decided to mix my own soundtrack. Playing with beats is a nice break from playing with pictures. I can strain a different sense for once, and it just further expands my geekery. I think I'm gonna be a DJ in my next life. Not one of those "wicky-wicky" DJs though. No, no.
Anyway, this little piece mixes 1920s jazz with hip hop. The song sampled in this here short reel is "Over in the Gloryland," which I pulled from a compilation called "Jazz the World Forgot."

The most updated version of said demo reel can be found HERE.
