Asphalt Stains
Asphalt stains in the parking lot, on the way to my truck, after a looong day.
The guy who saw me shooting these gave me a pretty wide berth on the way to his car. I guess someone photographing stains on the ground looks kinda weird. Especially at night and in a big empty parking lot…

Parking Garage Painting and Other Thoughts
Grabbed this while in the parking garage for the art store. Just going to the art store is the most arty thing I’ve done lately. Sadly, no big bodies of work to speak of yet. I’ve been spending all my time working at the day job (no choice on that one and I like the [...]

Street Tar Contours
This idea has been in my mind for a while now. Not sure how to execute it so I thought I would do a digital sketch to keep it fresh. The tar used to seal up cracks create such beautiful forms.
Grillz
I had the idea for this in grad school so I bought a plastic arch from an online dental supply store and sat on it until last year. I finally got around to mailing it off to a friend Mathew McConnell, and just got it back this week (boy did he take his sweet time, but it was definitely worth it).
