Contact Things and Other Things

Ready? Contact!

I received word that I made it into the Contact photography festival this year (a second time for me).

It should be a great event, as the theme is challenging and it will be the first year that I will not be relying on my nature shots to carry the show. It will also be the first time that I am going to be going larger than 8×10. This is a little scary for me, as it costs more and I’ve never blown anything up to that size. I’m not sure how good the images will look.

I will be showing at a local restaurant. As of right now, I don’t know exactly what will be going up on the walls. However, I will keep you all posted.

I can share with you that it will be running all through May, and I believe the opening will be on May 6th.



Things My Friends Say

When it comes to sage sayings, my friends quite often hit the mark.

This is one my pal Mike came up with…


We seem to be pissing directly into the winds of change.



That is awesome.

And eerie in it’s accuracy.



Other Things My Friends Say

A group of us e-mail quite frequently. We enjoy witty banter and can sometimes be merciless in our taunting of each other.

It’s all in good fun, of course.

One day I was picking on Reay* and Shatton made a priceless observation (click to see)…




Shaun is the man with the plan, I always say.




* – Incidentally, Reay actually gave me his permission to post this. He’s an awesome writer, a stand up fellow and an all-around cool guy. You should be checking out his blog. Now.

Hai-Kuul – February 03, 2006

I Am That I Am (Requested by bitha)
I was born this way
And so I will remind you
By stating this fact


Maybe Next Week (Requested by bitha)
I won a photo
But I have not picked it up
I should go get it


Don’t Drink and Derive (Requested by bitha)
I tried a function
But I was seeing double
My answer was wrong


I Have to Go Now (Requested by bitha)
This party is dull
I’m so bored I could just
Fall asleep right here


Doing Stuffs (Requested by bitha)
Each day passes by
Like pollen in a stiff breeze
There is much to do


Stop Staring (Requested by bitha)
I feel discomfort
Your gaze is fixed upon me
But I don’t like you


‘Bag’ Packs (Requested by bitha)
Learn how to pronounce!
This is up there with foilage
And ol’ new-cue-ler


Money Tree (Requested by bitha)
My fondest wishes
All seem to involve some wealth
That I need not earn


Angelina Jolie (Requested by Courtney-O)
The world’s most wanted
Lover of men and women
Jen A. stood no chance


Tim the Enchanter (Requested by the scottish vixen)
The mystery man
Who captured the Vixen’s heart
Best wishes to both!

Real Jules

Would the Real Jorge Please Stand Up?

How many people remember this article?

I’m sure you will all get a kick out of the following scan that I took of an envelope bearing what appears to be an odd attempt at my name

I mean, really.

How the hell do these people do their research? I don’t know…

Props to Jules

I met this girl a while ago, and we participated in the same craft show. She, too, is an aspiring photographer. Her images are taken with a digital camera. Her skill with the lens is definitely something to behold.

What’s even better is that she doesn’t think of herself as being excellent.

But she is.

Not only is she a great photographer, but she also writes a mean blog.

You should do yourself a favour and check out her blog.
