Anniversary

Image
 This week is the anniversary of two things I did creatively. Feels like by mid to late April the frost started defrosting enough to allow me to realize how little I've been doing every year. Two of my friends have invited me to help document their projects and these seemed to be as good of a time as any to ride their coat tails and try catching some artistic momentum off of their talent.   Haste- Untitled official music video 2024 was the release of the Haste music video I directed and filmed formally. It was a half assed, impromptu, and ill prepared. Jim Chaos, a roommate I had during my college years, reunited his previously defunct punk hardcore band and invited me to their practice. I threw my camera, a newly acquired prime lens kit, and some cheap led lights into my car and hauled ass to the practice space. I feel like I was more excited over the prospect of essentially getting a free show than I was about film making. These guys had been making music for longer tha...

NECTR 2025

Image
 I've posted about NECTR before. This was my introduction to the Burning Man community. A small, intimate burn on a pig farm located in the middle of nowhere-near UCONN in October right as it starts getting really cold. My first year I didn't know what to expect and jumped in feet first willing to be a participant and not a spectator. 6 years later I got to help build and document the Effigy. Another one of Tommy's designs and builds, this time he had help. Skilled carpenters Diego and Jeremy handled the majority of the difficult work, while Laura, Talia, Heather, Bobbin, and myself helped where we could. Weird Jimmy got involved and built the flame poofer which we promptly shoved up Sparky's Stink-hole. Laura and I brought additional art work but took literally no photos of it, and then brought back the semi-famous Hotdog Party on saturday afternoon. Anyway heres a video.

Block Island 2025

Image
  Block Island 2025. Laura and I took the ferry over with our Ebikes and got a room over on Paynes Lookout near New Harbor. Going to the lighthouse yielded some footage of sun bating seals and some territorial rage-shitting seagulls. The island fortunately doesn't have laws outlawing the flying of a camera so I was able to get some footage of the more iconic spots.

Flower Tower

Image
  This was the first outing I had camping with Tommy. He was commissioned to create the towering bouquet of flowers for the 12th Disorient Country Club held in the Catskill mountains in 2024. A fundraiser for the Disorient theme camp of Burning Man, a few hundred artists accent into the mountains and create a memorial day weekend camping experience centered around a bonfire created by Tommy. At the time this was my first time camping after my kidney donation so it mostly involved me sitting around talking shit while shoving a camera in his face. He kept his head down and showed me his work ethic, building a vast majority of the vase and flowers alone, allowing contributors to assist but rarely asking for help. We camped under the name 'The Moist Collective"
