U.S. Gay Marriage Vote: discursive-frame-what?

Wednesday, June 7th, 2006

A comment accompanied by one raised eyebrow and short head-tilt to the side: On the headline “Gay Marriage Ban Falls Short of Majority” , does this not amount to “Gay Marriage Ban Defeated” or “Senate Votes Against Gay Marriage Ban” or “Gay Marriage Ban Fails in Senate” or “Senators Against Gay Marriage in Minority as [...]

I had my hair cut by kids

Wednesday, June 7th, 2006

Thanks to the folks at Mammalian Diving Reflex, I had the opportunity to indulge the animated, playful, and altogether purposive whims of a few young people tasked with the problem of cutting my hair under the rubric of “Haircuts By Kids”.

The shoot was an intense day- I wasn’t there [...]

Saturday, June 3rd, 2006

this page is one where i think you can really feel the 70′s craftbook influences shining through.
