New Website!
It might still be a bit buggy, but I decided it was time for a change. It’s cleaner, the photographs are newer, and there’s a store where you can get prints of some of the photos.

Photo Auction to Benefit Mitch Dubey
Hey all,
Sorry to steer toward a more serious subject, but I’ll just be a minute. Earlier this year a friend and former bandmate of mine was shot and killed in his home in New Haven, CT. He was a pretty rad guy all around, but since he was a super awesome musician, there’s an effort in LA right now to put on a benefit show at the El Rey with proceeds going to help his family.
I’m auctioning off a photo to raise some money for the show. If you need art for your new apartment or a gift for a friend, please consider bidding.
Thanks for looking.

Because the Internet is so new we still don’t really understand what it is. We mistake it for a type of publishing or broadcasting, because that’s what we’re used to. So people complain that there’s a lot of rubbish online, or that it’s dominated by Americans, or that you can’t necessarily trust what you read on the web. Imagine trying to apply any of those criticisms to what you hear on the telephone. Of course you can’t ‘trust’ what people tell you on the web anymore than you can ‘trust’ what people tell you on megaphones, postcards or in restaurants. Working out the social politics of who you can trust and why is, quite literally, what a very large part of our brain has evolved to do. For some batty reason we turn off this natural scepticism when we see things in any medium which require a lot of work or resources to work in, or in which we can’t easily answer back – like newspapers, television or granite. Hence ‘carved in stone.’ What should concern us is not that we can’t take what we read on the internet on trust – of course you can’t, it’s just people talking – but that we ever got into the dangerous habit of believing what we read in the newspapers or saw on the TV – a mistake that no one who has met an actual journalist would ever make. One of the most important things you learn from the internet is that there is no ‘them’ out there. It’s just an awful lot of ‘us’.

Spotted on Greene b/w Grand and Canal. This looks like the same artist that wrapped the wall street bull a few weeks ago.
