Two of my friends have excit­ing news today.

First, pho­tog­ra­pher, Brook­lynite and all around good per­son Eliz Wein­berg has been included in this years PDN 30. That’s amazing!

Sec­ond, het­ero­sex­ual life part­ner and car­toon­ist Josh Kramer is included in not one but two comics antholo­gies, avail­able here. Buy that shit. And Josh, send them to me for free for, um, review. Here’s Josh and me work­ing out the details of my order.

What’s new with me? Only thatI haven’t been late to work all week. Tell that to your near­est HR rep­re­sen­ta­tive. Oh, and they opened a Dunkin Donuts right next door. It’s the lit­tle things, folks.

I try to avoid repost­ing the things my buddy Shane writes about on his Jour­nal, but if you haven’t had the oppor­tu­nity to look at David La Spina’s new work, blogged by Shane yes­ter­day, you really should. I hope to have the oppor­tu­nity to see them in person.

thLast year I went on the road with The Jon­benét, a hard­core band from Hous­ton, Tex. It was loads of fun and I had the oppor­tu­nity to try to make pho­tographs in a com­pletely dif­fer­ent way than I ever have before. I nar­rowed the hun­dreds of pho­tos that I took over those three weeks down to the hand­ful I’ve had up on my site for a year. Most of the edit­ing wasn’t that hard – I took a lot of shitty pic­tures. But I was look­ing back at the scans tonight and there were I few things that I thought would be worth post­ing and writ­ing a sen­tence or two about.

This is one of the hand­ful of pho­tographs I made on tour that I con­sciously antic­i­pated until I was able to get it processed and take a look. I ended up a bit dis­ap­pointed in the final result because, if you look too quickly, you’ll totally miss just how young this kid is. I kind of for­get what I didn’t like about it now though.
