12/14/09 Large Tree Near Ocean; Home To Hawk And Maybe One Crow


I was walking through the park taking pictures of the sunset when a crow landed in front of me. His beak clattered and a voice began to tell me things I didn’t care to hear. He watched me and I watched him and then he was in the shadows of a tree and gone. I walked some more dismissing his appearance; he was just an asshole in a talking bird I said. Then I took a picture of a tree and watched the sunset without ever actually looking at the sun.

11/13/09 I Don’t Want My Dreams To Die



Sometimes I see things. I looked down into the water and there was a woman, statuesque, on all fours. Half submerged with the tide, her head turned staring back at me, through me. Not through me like past me, but through me as in she was standing in front of me nudging her way through my eyelids and into my brain, sliding down my throat into the core of my body where she had begun to rummage about. Oily black fingers sifting through thoughts, memories – finding all the things I hide, objects to hold for future moments like these. A feeling came over me, suggesting I had wronged her in someway, perhaps in a past life. Our gazes were fixed for a short period when the waves washed over her. Her body disappearing, her head appearing, and then all of her completely invisible beneath the white draw of foam. She couldn’t breathe, submerged with each wash of tide. I felt guilty for this. I went from shock to fear, then came confusion, guilt, bewilderment, and eventually transfixion, beauty, yearning, wistfulness. It was because of me that she was down there. It was brazen of her to show up like this.

9/18/09 Lands End


I moved to SF about two months ago. I live near the ocean and work two jobs. I spend 2 days a week at a framing shop and the other 5 days I’m a photography technician at the Academy of Art University. Working 7 days a week is demanding and doesn’t allow for as much creative freedom as I’m used to… but living near the ocean is something I’m happy about. I get off work on some days and I only have to walk a few blocks and I’m standing at the edge of the west, a place called Lands End.

4/10/09 You Should Walk Across Too



Walked across with Miki and Noah on a windy day. We watched the not-so-sissy kite surfers sketch the water in all directions. I love to do this when I go to San Francisco. I don’t see it as a bridge, despite the traffic roaring past, so much as I see it as an anchor in time and human achievement. When you stand on it you become a part of that massive super-human creation looming steadfast over the ocean. It’s best experienced during sunset.
