THIS Rhett Butler Will Never Die

mais c'est ce qu'il pense de ce moment. bien, moi, ce qui est. Je pense à quitter le jeu de réseautage social. si je vais effectivement passer par là ou non reste à voir. mais pensez-y. ne Jim Jarmusch avoir une page Facebook, où il tourne autour de tenter d'amener les gens à lui parler? à comme lui ou comme les choses qu'il aime? aucune. les gens ne l'aiment et il n'a pas le temps pour eux. pourquoi? parce qu'il est occupé à travailler et avoir des relations réelles. Johnny Depp ne? ou Iggy Pop? Bob Dylan ou? ou Patti Smith? aucune. Aucun d'entre eux. ils sont tous réussi à avoir la vraie vie, les relations du monde réel avec des personnes réelles qui les appellent au téléphone, ou de venir à leur maison, ou les inviter à dîner, ou dire, "hey, let's go pour une« marche »ou« Let's go à un spectacle », ou« Hé, laissez-moi vous faire à dîner "... ils ne s'attardent pas sur les filets fantômes avec des chuchotements de l'espoir d...

si j'avais une photo vraiment bien tirer la semaine dernière. un tournage qui sont faits les rêves. J'ai trouvé un nouvel emplacement pour tirer. un vieux, vieux cimetière juste à côté du cimetière j'ai toujours tirer sur, à Oakland. Je savais qu'il était là, mais je n'étais jamais allé dans ce parce qu'il avait l'air si simple, et plutôt banal à travers la clôture.mais je suis arrivé à Oakland au début de cette journée parce que je voulais échapper à la vague de chaleur de 100 degrés nous avions à San Ramon. le Temps serait de 20 degrés de moins dans une pensée, il serait sage de "froid" il pendant que j'attendais pour les filles à arriver. Oui, les filles, au pluriel. 3 d'entre eux. 2 sœurs et un de leurs amis qui était pratiquement une autre sœur, car ils ont tous grandi ensemble, et ils effectivement ressemblons beaucoup. ils ont conduit vers Oakland de l'American Canyon. l'une des filles, la jeune fille principale, Julia, j...

Je n'ai pas écrit pendant des jours et des jours et des jours. n'ai pas écrit quelque chose, ce qui signifie que je n'ai parlé à personne et qu'il ya une tonne de trucs en bouteille à l'intérieur de moi, y compris le désir de disparaître dans l'obscurité; ainsi le titre de cette annonce ... Je ne veux pas à voir en ce moment. Je ne veux pas être connue. Je ne veux pas être dérangé. mais je dois dire que tous et je ne sais pas comment il va sortir. Je pense que je vais dire des choses que je ne veux pas être responsable car je vais faire semblant d'être à l'intérieur invisible de ces mots en se cachant leur sens de votre part. ce n'est pas grave de toute façon, il ne ...

i’ve got three short story ideas i’m working on now, well, two really – that are actually short story material that actually have the potential to intertwine into a larger story. it’s confusing me a little bit because i think they are really one and the same story but right now they have separate origins and i can see ways to tell them separately and just allow them to have their superfluous crossovers without there being any outright reason for stating that they do so. i don’t are if this doesn’t make sense to you. i’m just thinking out loud. the other thing i have to pull the reigns in on is the photography. there are some people that i really have a strong desire to photograph. and there are people that have a strong desire for me to photograph them. there is a difference. one fills me up with desire and the other drains my energy and makes me feel weak. i used to be indiscriminate and would photograph anyone, no matter what. now i am embroiled in these emotional tugs of war that t...

i was going to go see the A’s play today. i bought my $2 ticket for today’s game 2 weeks ago. maybe that is part of why i felt half dedicated to going today; that the ticket did not cost me that much. the A’s even won the game they played against Toronto last night, so that was encouragement. but i watched a movie last night before i went to sleep. a movie that i at first thought that it would be okay to just fall asleep while watching. but i was wrong about that. i had to see how it ended and then it was 3:30 and i was freaking wide awake. the movie was SUNSET BOULEVARD and was filmed in 1957. a good friend, and reader of my blog mentioned to me recently that he thought that a short story that i shared with him recently echoed some elements of this film, so i had to see it. and he was right. i had actually seen this film a very, very long time ago and it struck me that time too as a poignant, yet disturbing love story of sorts. i’m not going to analyze the film here because that woul...

not a movie for everyone. and not a movie for everyone that thinks it might be the movie for them. it is a movie for people who have lived and who have tried to love and who are hurt and who are also brave enough to seek out a path of healing. it is quite beautiful, it is moving (i was in tears right from the opening scene) but it is exhausting and by the time it’s over you are as weary from Liz’s journey as she is. things that resonated most with me: love someone every chance that you get. do not pass up the chance to be in love with some one. no matter how risky or ill conceived it seems. there is nothing richer than the experience of being in love and there is nothing as equally powerful as having a broken heart. to live in the middle ground where you know neither of these experiences is to not live. travel. especially get your ass to Italy. my #1 dream destination has always been Paris, and i still hold up that prayer card but if i got on the wrong plane and ended up in Rom...

Sitting in the lobby, watching the people exit from just seeing EAT PRAY LOVE. All dry eyed, gazing distantly, unmoved by the dreams and drama. No one seems to have that look in their eye of seeking a mysterious stranger that could be the one who will change their life. And I don't see anyone either, but you know that I'm looking. I am ALWAYS looking... Published with Blogger-droid v1.5.2

it is the wanting, the not-having, the desire, the hunger, the missing, the remembering, the tasting but not being able to consume, that creates the pain in my heart that makes me have all of these words that i feel the need to express the emotions of with… if i did not have all of these conflicts inside of me, i would not have angst to create stories with, would i? so i’m walking a tightrope… i want to be free. i want to be content. but i don’t want to be bored or boring. i do want to have something to do. i do want to be a creator. i do want to make use of my time. i do want to entertain you. i think i’ve seen something important today though. there is a successful sort of writer that does live in seclusion. that does live alone. not all successful writers have pretty wives and houses on the beach. yeah, i do need to be a caveman cut off from the normalness of regular life. i just have to be careful with how i manage this. i’ve already been through stages with the development of my ...

music is the only magic that works for me these days. it used to be live music that worked the best. to get lost in a dark room of swaying bodies hot with the rhythms of the sex of a mood cast by miscreant musicians. but even when i last engaged in that element of trance induction i held myself back from full bewitchment because i always had my camera with me, or i was making mental notes for the review i was assigned to write. so they were intellectual highs, not genuine spiritual, musical witchcraft highs. and by witchcraft i simply mean that people were under the influence of letting go of their emotions as they were turned on by the mechanism of the music drug in the air. it’s a weak argument, i know, but it is a form of magic. i don’t have this anymore. it takes practice to become comfortable in a magic place. it takes regularity and familiarity. its rare to be able to walk into a new place and feel the spirit of induction, of baptism on first taste. i’ve had it happen before. in...

Had an idea of writing a series of short stories about experiences with all the different models that I've worked with, of course changing their names and locations so that I can totally fictionalize all accounts of what happens. Will it be a take truthful to my own nature or should it be something that I write freely with all abandon? Published with Blogger-droid v1.5.1

oggi ha iniziato davvero miseramente; sentivo male fisicamente - pesantezza nelle ossa, le grandi mal di schiena, e il mio stato d'animo era tutto kaput. non era sicuro che non ci sarebbe nulla che mi potesse prendere e io in realtà rimise a letto intorno all'ora di mezzogiorno e guardato un film (Gerry). Ebbene, quel film non ha aiutato sollevare il mio spirito sia. Perché mi gravitano verso il macabro e tetro nel mio film e letteratura scelte? Ho voluto fissare la mia colazione cereali indiano per me da mangiare oggi. voluto fare questo per gli ultimi quattro giorni in realtà, ma c'è l'energia negativa di nuovo in casa. Non mi sento libero di utilizzare la cucina o per accendere le luci o passeggiare in giardino. questo accade sempre e non credo che potrò mai imparare a diffonderla. è a causa di una persona che io vivo con. Non posso neanche ce la faccio a parlare di più. poi ci sono le idee che mi si avvicinò con la notte scorsa circa la presa corsi universitari...

on the outskirts of the city of San Leandro, California is a wilderness area that i used to play in when i was a kid. i drove by there on the way home from the Oakland A's baseball game one day last week. would be a lovely place to do a photo shoot if any one is interested.

till Halloween! (seen in Costco on Saturday)

but if these HAD been my size? i SOO would be wearing them today. (seen in the Thrift Station, Danville, California)

i had coffee with my friend/model Rachel F. in Moraga on Friday so i could show her the new book. we're talking about doing a new shoot together this week. not sure if i'm fully ready to go out and create new images yet though.

so i watched 3 films today to beef up my morale about boy-dom so that i can get into a train of thought to crack into the ideas that i want to talk about. my theme is that boys are sensitive creatures. sensitive and care predominately about one thing; they want to love, and also, they want to be understood. The 3 films I watched were The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys , Almost Famous , and Runaway Train . now this is going to be difficult because these are extremely different films with quite varied portrayals of boys, especially in the case of the third (which you may really think i’m stretching my powers on, but i hope you’ll see.) and in all fairness, this is not a sufficient place to write any sort of complex or thorough examination of my ideas or feelings. i am just trying to jump in and kick up some dirt. in DLoAB there are two main characters; best friends who are not entirely different (probably due to poor casting or weak writing) but the idea is suggested that one boy is sen...

girls always make me cry. i’m gonna find a way to let the boys make me cry though. just you wait and see. so the other night on Letterman, Julia Roberts was the guest star and she was on the show to promote her new film Eat Love Pray, which opens next week. sometimes you know something is going to be so good just from a few strands of information that leak out. catchy scenes in movie trailers are the main thing, but often, a keen interviewer will extract something bigger than ANY scene in a trailer could ever do to sell a movie. Julia and David have been friends for a really long time. what kind of friends? i don’t really know. they probably go out for dinner after he interviews her on his show but has she ever had him over for Thanksgiving dinner? i doubt it. still, there is a really strong heart connection between the two. David loves Julia. and she loves him. it’s a mutual respect kinda thing. so they have this nervous tension thing going on too. they make eyes at each other. she t...

of the Cemetery Girls project. or at least another rung on the ladder of my internal analysis about whether i need to continue this work or not. so three of my last 5 models have pulled this rabbit out of their hats and imposed this restriction on what they will allow me to do with my photographs. namely, that they do not want their photographs displayed on Flickr. that’s right. there are 3 models in my portfolio that many/most of you have never even seen, and may never see. unless you were to sit down next to me and i were to show you their photos on my computer. this irks me greatly. at first, nice guy that i am, i said, “yeah, sure, ok…” when they sprung the caveat on me. “but why?” “oh, i don’t (always) like the way i look in photographs” and what i should have said was, “then why the hell are we doing this? why are you wasting my time with your fickleness when there are 5 other models that i could be working with right now instead of you that LOVE to see themselves in phot...
