March 4 - The Art Hop gig

Last night my wife, Collin and myself played an acoustic gig at an absolutely awesome Kalamazoo Art Hop site. This was particularly great because it's the first time my wife and I have ever intentionally planned a gig together. my wife made me so proud.

February 16th - The man comes around

You may or may not know, but I'm a huge Johnny Cash fan. I made this piece of "art" a couple years ago when I was living with Justin VanFerrari in a house in Lawton. It's followed me since. The record is from Johnny Cash's first LP with Columbia Records in 1959 after leaving the famed Sun Records. My favorite tracks off this album are "Run softly, blue river" "One more ride" and "Don't take your guns to town".  His story is remarkable and much more elaborate and convoluted than the one told in "Walk the Line", in his real life story he credits his recovery to Jesus Christ, and gave his life over to the Emmanuel. I often think about this album cover and, based on his autobiographies, he was already addicted to several varieties of meth-amphetamine pills; I wonder if he had any idea where his faith journey would take him over the course of the next 50+ years.

February 13th - Here's comes the sun

Today just felt like a day for new beginnings. I had a little downtime this afternoon to get some images of things melting and I love this picture. Note the splash of water exploding as it hits the wooden overhang.

February 7th - This bear is hibernating

Today I made my wife an english muffin with peanut butter for breakfast, I packed her a lunch for her internship, then I made some gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches and chicken soup for dinner - and I started her car this morning. I say this only for documentation purposes, I have never hit for the cycle before. I did not step outside the entire day besides when I unlocked the door for my turkish american friend, Peri Acar. I was editing video the entire day. therefore these pictures are from our apartment.
