While you’re sitting there, internetting, Cody Cloud’s out in the streets, mixing it up, running with the big dawgs, taking some stellar photos.
His site’s fresh & updated, go check it out.
This shot? Love it. Love fencing, love the simple wit of the caption, which is actually a through line in Cody’s work, simple and sharp, with enough wit to put a grin on that mug of yours.
400pm. Two allergy pills, one decent-sized lunch at El Cholo (that also happened to include me burning the fuck out of my tongue on some hot chocolate), one nap under a giant faux-down comforter, and what you’ve got is a man with the inability to think or taste.
BUT I CAN STILL POST PHOTOS.
This here? Laura, from our shoot at my new favorite place to shoot, up in Griffith Park. Go up a slightly treacherous dog path and you find yourself in a tiny li’l ersatz pacific northwest. Just gorgeous up there, and it overlooks a good portion of the city.
So you’ll be seeing a lot of it, here. Yep. Okay, back to drooling and trying to get my tongue to feel again.
it’s 354am, I’ve just woken up, and yet I know I’ll be back to sleep around, oh, 6?
But here I am, surfing the web, gobbling up the few new things that’ve popped up since I went to sleep.
And if you’re out there, too, this shot of Andrea’s for you.
who knows how the movie’s gonna be, but I do so love a kick-ass poster.
LIGHT CYCLES, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Waterloo Sunset - The Kinks
For no reason in particular, I have today made it my mission to out-Kinks Del.
This song right here? Right here? This song? This is some Kinks, right here. smooth, blissful even, bit of harmony, fresh little drum bursts, excellent visuals evoked by the lyrics. sigh.

Did I post this before? I dunno. Don’t matter, because FUUUUUCCCKKKKK.
This is a goddamn photo, right here. Man doesn’t shoot nearly enough, for my taste. Oh sure, Dan puts stuff on the internet periodically, but he should be posting every day, SHOOTING every day. Man’s got talent up the tukhus! Such a good photographer.
And this shot? Sheesh. First saw it, what, 2008, during some kind of weird art slideshow on the roof of a gallery, accompanied by an Os Mutantes song. Perfect. Took my breath away, it did. Masterful.
Okay, done. now:

it’s 441am, and if all goes well today, I’ll be shooting Laura again. Gonna have someone new slap some serious make-up on her, take her up into the woods, much like I did for this shot. Though, I feel I’m a bit too shallow with this shot, the in-focus eye is too obscured, it’s all just a bit too soft, and I’m a man likes detail. Can’t necessarily remember the details, I’m shit when it comes to properly remembering quotes, for instance, but I like ‘em all the same.
Of course, almost every time I mention a shoot on the internet before it happens, something comes along to futz with my plans.
But I don’t believe in an interventionist god. But if I did…I’d still think he was too busy to fuck with my photo shoots.
SO. Today I will shoot! It will be awesome! THIS I COMMAND.
(see what happens when I wake up this early? I start quoting both Nick Cave and GI Joe)
634am, bout to head out for the day, struck by Jena’s gaze in this shot.
So, if you’re up, the bit of witchcraft in her eyes is for you.
