Being an artist means ceasing to take seriously that very serious person we are when we are not an artist. Jose Ortega y Gasset

Iamnoone: documenting fashion

This collaboration occurred in the Lower East Side of New York City, 12 and 13 February 2010. Over 1800 Photographs were shot for 8 distinct looks designed/coordinated by the model and inspiration.  I am forever indebted to Ms. Ha for extending this opportunity to participate in what turned out to be very educational and meaningful project IMHO

Please join us at Sasa's Lounge, 924 Columbus Avenue (at 105th Street), any nite of the week except Monday.  Most other nights feature live jazz ensembles, repartee of diverse variety, chilled erudition, and authentic Italian hospitality, charm, beauty, and enlightenment.  The show has been extended through December.  I am especially grateful to Sabrina de Vanna for her kindness and generous spirit in guiding me into those beautiful bricks, and to Daniel Frank Wilson, III - whose patronage, wisdom, forwardness, reliability, and heart allowed me to present this gift to yu.

Exquisite Corpse at the Merryweather's, 2

Conclusion to the collaborative night with Rebecca Mark, Kay Merryweather, and Jesse Newman.



 





Exquisite Corpse at the Merryweather's,1

An evening with Rebecca Mark, Kay Merryweather, and Jesse Newman.




Is a lie undefended...


Is a lie undefended as harmless
as a truth undefended is
picaresque? The only
tether to Mother earth
is getting a feeling.
Let the feel of a threat
to your integrity move
you, but don't dwell
inside yourself, for I'll
always be looking out
to connect again without
another lover or my brother
for study of self is far
more dignity than ever the
stitcher (who made us up
to be free) intended
and that's why everyone is odd-looking...

Stay bright/Treat me right


The world is mean I mean.


Blasphemous prayer




  
    A path to heaven is guaranteed (yes, even for
those who give to and help others
each day for no condemnation, church, dictate
or capability to pray
will save your soul if you pass over G-d
cold and desperate and begging for spare change.

Let she who hates ignores or places devotion to faith
      over child or lover or parent or friend
know the blood of the savior is on your hands
for He dies in you when venom and false justification
you spew without.
Once you've learned that our one task on earth is to
help, can you choose not to?

Gravity sucks freestyle at poetry reading, 2



Gravity sucks freestyle at poetry reading, 1



 This is how arms enclasp
this is pushing inward
this is how one pushes and sways
this is how they fell this is
how we grow - this is heavy shit
this is how you became a dead man - this is how
you rushed her way
this is the lake house/this is
my lake house
this is exactly how you get to my lake house
This is how you get
to the road to get to
the lake house this
is how you turn on
the car this is how
you get out the
door I don't know
how to get out the
door she said
this is how she said we
did it last year
this is how to close your eyes
    on stab
this is how to lock the door
this is how to stab
this is how you survive
a stabbing kiss the
victim don't be
the victim.
this is how this how the
        world should end
this is how we can already see it.
