I want to not see images of soldiers in lists of ‘political’ photos.
I want to not see corrupt crazy people trying to be our president and constantly asking us to pull his finger.
I want not to see the Trip-Hop Duo of Chimpy and Pickles grossly misrepresenting the American Way of Life whenever I turn on the oh-so-aptly-named boob tube.
I want to see this bitter old man retire quietly to some dark cave where I won’t be able to see him again.
I want to see this guy’s dog bite him in the nuts. I’d also like to see him without that plastic helmet, just to see if he’s really human.
I really want to see this Klingon spy strapped to the outside of a rocket and returned to the nearest orbiting Bird Of Prey immediately.
But before we do that, I’d really like to see that photographers no longer get her legs in photos that are distributed to the public. They’re just so….wrong.
But really, what I want is some ice cream, because the rest of this shit just makes me bitter.

Profile: i write things. sometimes not too poorly, even. i photograph things. i don't capture them, but i render how the appeared to me, or perhaps how i might have seen them if i'd been looking in a different way. i don't believe in finalities, and new beginnings are old hat with me. i am not what i appear to be, or even what i think i am. i am, in a nutshell, a nut. eat me, or feed me to an elephant.
