Aside from moving home with his parents I can completely relate to this guy. Oh except for the fact that he only has a FIVE figure student loan debt. God I wish that’s all I had. Anyone wanna have a contest of who has the most loans? Can anyone top 130k? No? Didn’t think so. *Gunshot*

135k…it makes me sad
I was forced to go to the doctor’s office today and while I waited for the doctor to come in I decided to document this occasion. This day tought me that a.) I should always have my camera (so I settled for my cameraphone) and b.) not having health insurance sucks.
This is the result of waiting 4 hours to get my foot checked out.
Earlier this week, 1.5 million people filled the streets of Berlin, Germany to watch a several-day performance by France’s Royal de Luxe street theatre company titled “The Berlin Reunion”. Part of the celebrations of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Reunion show featured two massive marionettes, the Big Giant, a deep-sea diver, and his niece, the Little Giantess.

Today not only opened a new season in the gallery world, but also my eyes to the Spanish photographer Ixone Sádaba. Her work, currently showing at the Witzenhausen Gallery was hands down my favorite of the night. The images are slow shuttered, self portraits depicting the different emotions of Sádaba.
“In the series, Sádaba, the ever performer, recurs once more to her own body to negotiate the idea of a naked body that is and is not. Somewhere before the final departure, the self and its alter ego, present or implicit in many of her previous oeuvres, are fused into one. A fading “me” emerges before our eyes, under the most tense and dramatic physical conditions. Multiple exposures and a body which cries, laughs, begs, enjoys -one and all at once- on the verge of hysteria and collapse…
Alarming and discomforting, Sádaba’s posture arguably serves as a metaphor for the condition of total expropriation, destruction and nihilism the body is subjected to today, as much as it brings into the foreground the existential right of not to be, in terms of placing oneself -in this case, Sádaba and her female being- within an alternative non-space that lies beyond codified language, politics and culture.”

I love New York.

It’s no secret that artists use their art as a form of therapy. I took this image over a year ago and although I continue to try and fix things through my imagery, this photograph will always be close to my heart.
