My frame.

I got this old photo frame I have had for many years. 8 x 10 “. For many years it had this old holographic pic of Jesus’ head. When you turned it he would open his eyes and move his mouth like the Cracker Jack toys. Sam one from Cheechs Born in East LA.

After that there was a pic of my son til he reached an age we’re he asked for the embarrasing kid pics to not be on the walls.

Then a photo of Austin I got from Debbie Fitch photo for a pic swap thing we did. Moved that photo to a nicer frame.

Then there was a photo from the smallest Ear Inn gathering ever. 4 people. Tim, Girard, Sam, and Bruce. It was a black and white photo. And for some reason the conversations had that day were really just spot on and great.

The Ear Inn came and went. Some say it was the camera tolls and speed traps. Some dudn’t seem to wanna leave the county of Kings. It was a good run regardless. BUUUTTT you never know when one will pop up….

So now that frame has made its next evolution to include a print im thinking of using as a centerfold removable poster for what Im working on to put into print. Either as a photo book. Or elaborate zine. The printers price will dictate that when the time comes.

I have my cover phot narrowed down to 2. And my back cover down to like 3. And the sequencing process is insane. I remember Travis another photog talking on the layout process for his zine. And its nerve wracking. You want shit to flow and yo work page to page. Constant silliness and BS.

Last blog was very all over the place. Mentioned doing paperwork for shoots of certain types.

I will go on record as saying that is in no way shape or form from any event I have covered. Nor was it in any way a negetive thing focused on anyone or thing. It is simply to separate the lines between doin shit for friends and doin shit period.

It also allows me to actually deduct some of what I lay out. And between us its all laid out.

I dont make much if anything off prints. Sold to a bud this year and pretty much got the cost I laid out and a coffee for the drive to deliver covered. And a few beers and met the kids which was awesome. And that’s all its about.

Literally just refunded the money I made last year. In deep thought didn’t want it. Ill redo what was asked and deliver to the recipient personally without the person who paid me involved. It’s just better and proper that way.

Some can talk about my vibe. How I carry myself. Or my very very dark fucked sense of humor. But I have always been honest. When I shake a hand its firm and eye contact is made respectfully. Sadly I have learned that is far and few in todays go round.

Hopefully that changes.

Anyway back to my frame. When I goto print. One of these 2 will be my removable centerfold. So far the one in the frame is winning.
