The green arrow is me

Soo, I know you’re all just dying to know what it is I’m doing here in the Big Bad City. So far, aside from see­ing the big Stephen Shore exhibit at ICP and spend­ing an after­noon at Dash­wood Books with Chris­t­ian, I’ve done absolutely noth­ing photography-​​related. Shen Wei and Amy Elkins both have had an open­ing and clos­ing respec­tively, and I was unable to go to either and I still haven’t seen the Nina Berman show at jb, let along the thou­sands of other things there are to do and see in this place every sin­gle week. I’ve also flaked on Eliz­a­beth Wein­berg twice.

So what have I been doing? Well. After stay­ing at Emily Grenader’s aparment for a lit­tle over a week (the cat and I are best friends), I finally moved into this ridicu­lous build­ing called “The Tea Fac­tory,” (because it used to be one, the land­lord told me) on Stock­holm in Bush­wick. I wouldn’t have named it that and also I’m sort of like the very poster­boy of gen­tri­fi­ca­tion, but these are the things I’m going to try not to think too much about. But any­way, the place is awe­some and my room­mate (I brought him with me from DC) is awe­some and I’m pretty happy with it. Pic­tures will come as soon as it’s not such a ridicu­lous fuck­ing mess.

I’m still work­ing for Won­kette, I may have a monthly fea­ture there pretty soon, which would be pretty excit­ing and hope­fully hilar­i­ous. I also picked up a sec­ond and more lucra­tive but per­haps lessed prized blog­ging gig for the polit­i­cal news site Raw Story. What’s cool about that one is I get bylines from time to time and can do some free­lance report­ing for extra money. Most sig­nif­i­cantly though, I was just hired as an assis­tant for Katie Brown, pub­lic television’s home and gar­den­ing empress. This is a semi-​​creative posi­tion that going to involve a lot of writ­ing and pro­duc­tion work, some pho­tog­ra­phy and prob­a­bly a whole lot get­ting cof­fee and stuff. Most impor­tantly: salary and benefits.

I’m not any less com­mit­ted to pho­tog­ra­phy. I’m still tak­ing pic­tures con­stantly, my new series is almost finished.
