A Few Pinkish Pictures

On my lunch breaks 


I would drive up to Etna and I stopped in this last week of July to take a picture of this barn. I thought it looked just perfect. 

I edited in that Pink sky cloud which was from a picture I took of the sky the night I was texting Sam, that girl who worked in the co op. In my last week we had started talking more and I finally edged up the courage to ask for her number and we had a very short awkward convo and I sent her a picture of the sky on a whim. She replied saying 

"When Pink Erases Blue" 

Explaining it was a quote from an old poem. Very in triguing! 

I enjoyed it immensly. .

There have been 


so many clouds like this up here. 


I used to think that it was only big sky country which got sunny day clouds like this but...look at em 

Flower Edit







Fender Duo Sonic 
This guitar is old 
Very Old 
From the 50's even
And it sounds great, 
and has some odd custom mods that I can't figure out that they do?
My Dad got it when he was young
they used to use them as teaching guitars and that's why it's so small 
But I kinda love the 3/4 scale 





Out on the Connecticut Lakes Edit from Late July 2020
"Camping" at that Cabin 
The same evening that we fished and heard the French Canadian Jigs and Reels and fiddle players near the water.

Althea the Cat, the first thing I saw in the morning. Filling up the window well

These fields of corn have been growing nearby , although it took me much of the summer to figure out what it was. In June, or May maybe Andrei Charlie and I went for a long after dinner walk as it got dark and we wandered into the field when the plants were all so small that they just looked like shrubs. 

A while before that, in February or Maybe as late as March I walked out to this field when they were cutting all the trees down. I put on my colorful new windbreaker I think and it was storming and rainy and cold and blue and freezing. 
I listed to that Boards of Canada album and climbed around on the cut trees and got very wet and a little cold and. really enjoyed it. 
Now the fields are full of album fresh corn and those big , huge, fluffy, clouds. 

Similar to above, this is the barn on that road that always makes me think of the line in the Led Zeppelin song "Ain't No Companion like a Blue Eyed Merle" for some reason. The road reminds me of that lyric I mean. The barn looks too old to use but I think they keep all the farm equipment in it in the winter and then unload it in the spring and summer to farm the fields. 




This is a montage mix up of the flower beds outside the Co-Op, taken in the last week of July 2020. They stayed this way for weeks and weeks. 
I stopped to smell them often. The delicate little colored ones always remind me of the 4th of July to the point that I sometimes think of them in my head as 4th of July flowers. 
When 


Preparing to move today (August 1st 2020) I decided to lay this poster out for one final shoot in case it didn't make yet another trip. It has been around for an age, and has taken a wicked beating. I think my Dad had it as a teen, since who knows when. It's a German Hendrix concert which seems worthy I guess that's why I've kept it this whole time. 




Drum 

This is a picture Jessi sent me of the day I was in the back of Daltons mini van on our way down to the Squire in Denver to play a show all 4 of us (michael and nate too) as the Jerrys. Thom Spano invited us and we opened, and played LIA and 3rd stone from the Sun. All the inniskids came and we ordered beers and ganged up and smoked cigarettes and had a wonderful, great time. It was a beautiful night. 
I remember the sound guy commented that I did a really good job holding down the bass line on the old hendrix tune 3rd Stone, which I still think about sometimes. Some other ppl in the audience also commented on my bass playing which I was very proud of after that. It was an exciting time. 


You can sorta see the thrifted star shirt I had on that was too thick and too hot but looked cool like scott pilgrim. Nate's altoid boost on the amp, Michaels grandad's drums stacked up and a few pedals in the back of my amp behind me.

 18  hours  16  working  2 driving   $240 dollars  with an additional differential for the night  and triple overtime on top  they promise $24 for every hour if  you pull  48 in a week   and $30 for every hour at 60  plus differentials  plus 1.5x overtime for  20 hours it's a no brainer.  to pull 60 hours this week would reduce the next 5 to easy profits  and days off  to pull 60 hours, I could what is likely  10% of my entire income last year  to pull 60 hours I'll need to  take off 3 I had planned  and hope to take off an 8 for simplicities sake  I could work  

Early Notes on the Eco-Bike-Future

I'm not sure I know what to call it yet, but I've been slowing fleshing out in my mind a sort of semi-realistic optimistic future. I think the first words I used to describe it may have been a "pastoral daydream" which I still think would be a great moniker for a chillwave outfit. More recently I've been trying to sandwich together phrases like "Eco-Tech" or "Eco-Pop" (another idea for music, maybe a genre?), or more vaguely using images of tree houses, wild flowers and domestic gardens and electric bikes and solar powered laptops. I often will try and pry some distasteful element from the over saturated modern life out to wash off and reexamine as a puzzle piece for this "best case scenario" future I would hope for. It's about 1 part science fiction, 1 part idealism, and 1 part some beacon of principles I hope to move toward or define more clearly. Usually I'm thinking about this as just a helpful exercise in finding the basi...
