End of my era.

So i'm told that an era is a long period of history with a noteable feature or characteristic. I guess this applies to the past two years for me. At the end of this month I'll be closing down my studio location (just the location, not the photography business). It is an era for myself in that I built everything there with my own hands, my life and heart (and some blood here and there) went into it. I took it from an empty, dirty back of a wharehouse and made it into my second home. I know all the creaks, leaks and what steps not to step on (damn those stairs are hard to build straight). Its been my shelter, my bat cave, where creativity came, and left. The reason for the closing is mainly money. It was costing me too much to keep it open with rent, and driving there with the price gas is now was just insane. Plus only 1 out of 10 shoots happened at teh studio, most of what i do are on location. This also gives me the chance to get out into the location photography groove which i've been neglecting since having a studio to fall back on. So it comes to an end. The future is bright, the money I save should help pay off some debts and hopefully eventually I'll open a new location that meets more of my current needs.

Stuff for Today

One of the more utterly rideculous ideas i've ever heard, but also one of the most unique: Advertising on the Homeless

I dunno why I like this comic....

We don't need farms anyway.

I believe that farmland, fields and flatlands beside highways should be the first to go. I mean the destruction of all things natural is inevidable, so I just want to make sure that our drives to and from cities are covered first. This of course will be beneficial during winter drives where snow blows accross the road, causing black ice, drifting and cold cold death. Thats right, death! Who knew that an open field causing no resistance to wind and therefore blowing snow would cause such a catastrophe. The farmers should be ashamed. Driving through inches of blowing snow due to flat pastures is just insane! INCHES!! Plus you have the fact that people drive about 20 km/h less than the speed limit at the very sight of snow, so encompassing the highways with nice big buildings will decrease travel time! It is a win-win situation for everyone! I mean we will have to give up the sight of farmland, rolling fields, animals and pretty much all of nature, but who needs that. I'm going to grab my shovel and start digging a skyrise foundation now!



The preceeding blog is a farce, in that we made it up. The complaints are fake, the locations are fake and no animals were hurt in the making of it. Please conserve our ever-shrinking farmlands. Moo.
