Is Moving...

Wed Dec 2, 2009, 11:15 AM
After three+ years in one apartment... we're finally taking it to the next level... no, we're not purchasing. Can't really do that on less than 20K a year... but we are moving up to a 2 bedroom spot. We're not leaving the building... just down the hall about 40' and up about ten steps. It'll be a difficult move.

So~ any of the Vancouverites want to get in to a cheap space? One bedroom, hardwood floors... ground floor unit... tennant upgrades (meaning: hands off management)... about 750$/ mo plus electricity (hot water heat so that's included... and sometimes they do forget to turn on the heat... so, there are periods in the fall when it's a little frigid... and in the spring when it's a little overheated ;) but it's awesome).

Touch base... lemme know... come on by to check it out.

Words

Sun Nov 8, 2009, 11:11 PM
mean more to me than pile of bricks
mean more to me than slung sticks

I forgot my own words, kept in silence they were...
stored in darkened rooms held tight within boxes and bindings
ring tied they were, shut and cloistered
unshared



After 20 brief years... the box has been delivered into mine own hands. The one box that represents the synthesis of stored memories. Opened it was and revealed not only glistening images from days gone past but pages upon pages of words.

The original writings, the first copies
the ideas that first strung out from mine own mind.

I have a lot of reading ahead of me. Hard to concentrate. Hard to sit with one volume and go over it... sentence after sentence. So many poems... so much... and this collection represents what may have been my most prolific period... but not my most effective as far as compositional skills are concerned. But, valuable and insightful (and meaningful) none the less.

Jimi Hendrix

Tue Aug 11, 2009, 7:38 PM
I just pretty much signed a deal to exhibit 41 original works of art by Jimi Hendrix in Vancouver during the Winter Olympics! Might sound like a small thing... but, to me- it's HUGE.

But, it also means a lot of attention is going to be pointed my way over the next few months... and as I put the show together... I'd like to tag team the whole thing with exhibiting Fine Art Nudes. If you want to get your nudes exhibited... let me know!

Altphotoart Exhibition 2010

Wed Jul 1, 2009, 2:19 PM
So, the Winter 2010 Olympics are getting close... so what, big deal... right?

I want to exhibit your art! This is limited to Fine Art Nude Photography but that's pretty wide open. I'm negotiating to get one of a few centrally located spaced for the exhibit and inside the space I will be building workshop space... so, if you can get here and want to have a workshop during the... period... it's there for that purpose.

Exhibition... workshop... book publishing... and more.

Oh- and I'm putting it out there to local artists to offer up "billet" space to wandering shooters... come on over and hang out in their homes instead of shelling out tons of cash on inflated hotels!

I've realized something

Journal Entry: Thu Jun 18, 2009, 2:16 PM
rather harrowing...

I want to go home now.

I've been on the lamb for 20 years as of 2010 and it's time to go home. I'm not a west coast boy... I'm not a mountain boy... I'm an Ottawa boy. I probably won't ever move back to Ottawa but maybe Kingston, Ontario... maybe Barrie... or some such smaller than normal and funky as shite location.

On that, I found an awesome place in Kingston (well, between Kingston and Belleville, in a small town called Napanee) for less than 200K! Huge ass place, in the country, perfect for a knitter and a photographer to set up... HOME.

I've fought so hard against my future... but the only casualty has been me. All along, I thought I was fighting for my freedom but I was the only one standing in my way... it was there all along. And now, 20 years later, all my friends and loved ones are long gone but I still want to go back. Something about, both, the people I know and the people in general as well as the climate... it's appealing. Nudes in the fall on the West Coast is... a nude in a forest. Nudes in the Fall in Ontario is... something else entirely.

I'll be West Coast landed immigrant for a little longer. Don't have the quid to live without a day job (and living in Napanee... I'd need a day job- a goooood one). But- at least I've realized, now, what it is that's driving my emotions down of late. Now, I can at least say I'm "Home Sick" or some such shmaltz and get on with it.
