saw this chick a couple times during the summer

got some more shiny things while we were hangin out

then we went to dc for the day

saw an old ladies head in a glass box

and these dudes projected on the ground

skeletal pilgrim

i like to think about how many asians there are in this picture

favorite picture of the day

this staircase and door seemed kinda freaky

kinda freaky

i wanted to go to dc to take pictures, so alyce brought her camera too

dirty looks all day from this one

this squirrel was creeping by in one of the sculpture gardens

also in one of the sculpture garden, an original yoko ono...exciting?

Point of View

pictures from my point of view assignment last year

Bike Riding Face

for the fourth of july jake had a bunch of people over at his house. everyone decided they wanted to play dodge ball at a school near by and a bunch of us decided to ride bikes there

jeff's bike riding face

dodge ball

after the game we headed back to jake's house

matt's bike riding face

rachel's bike riding face

back at jake's it was fireworks time

i forget this chicks name, but she requested someone take a long exposure shot so she could draw with her sparkler

the next day alex insisted that we go over to jake's to help clean up

we walked over to this deck patio thing were alex spent half the night and we found alex's hat like this

we also found this

alex said the end of the fourth of july was best represented and summed up by this picture, i think the pile of puke was a better image

If You're Pretty (Then I Must Be Dead)

luke's, alex's, and my band recorded a new song

you should go listen to it

WHATTHEMOTHERFUCKINFUCK!?!?

thanks to the overwhelming amount of undeserved attention and respect given to michael jackson i didn't even know sky saxon died on the same day (i had to hear it from you will soon) sky saxon actually did shit for music, he was one of the first front man who showed people you didn't have to have a good singing voice, all you have to have is a ruff voice and some attitude, and then theres all the people that looked up to the seeds, like joey ramone and johnny thunders (and don't get me started on how important the ramones and the dolls are to music) WHAT THE FUCK DID JACKSON DO FOR MUSIC!?! everything the jackson 5 was doing had already been done by plenty of other motown bands (like the temptations, four tops,and the contours, just to name a few) all michael jackson did was show people how coordinate a dance routine into their performances. so i'll give him credit for the dance thing, , and for setting up the standard for a modern day pop concerts (which suck anyway). i'll even give him credit for revolutionizing music videos, but even then he only made contributions to choreography, pop concerts, and music videos, none of those things are major components of good music, those things barely have anything to do with music at all. dance choreography, extravagant pop performances, and music videos are actually pretty fuckin' lame, they came about when pop was becoming lame and not even catchy, basically how it is today. so thanks jacko for creating the shitty breed of pop stars we have today, who can dance the assess off in stupid, expensive, flashy pop concerts and videos, but can't even write a catchy song.
