I went to Cranbrook yesterday.  I was early so I drove around a little before finding a parking spot near where I was going to meet some friends.  I was on Lone Pine when I saw this white Porsche parked on Cranbrook’s campus.  I wanted to take a picture of it because I like how Porsches look and I liked how it looked in front of the trees.  I pulled in and got out and took the picture and the moment after I took the picture a neon orange Frisbee flew by.  Then two men popped out from the left.  I smiled and waved and they did the same while grabbing the frisbee.  I was a little embarrassed standing there looking at their car.  I turned around and looked at the trees behind me and thought, should I take another picture so it doesn’t just look like I was taking a picture of their car?  I think they didn’t care.  I got back into my car and backed up to drive around and out.  As I was pulling back forward a big dog ran by the left side of the car.  I stopped and noticed a man was walking behind.  The dog just wasn’t on a leash.  I waved at the frisbee Porsche guys again because I was still embarrassed.  They waved again as I pulled around and out.  

Book Release Pizza Party tonight for the book The Land Can Handle It at International Center of Photography.  I hope you can come.

I am excited to announce a new book project called The Land Can Handle It.

The book is a collection of photographs, writing, drawing and other things made and collected during a trip in May of this year.

It is also the first title released by a new publisher called Parts and Labor.

We are having a signing/pizza party this Thursday evening at the International Center of Photography.

I hope you can come!

I will be at the book fair starting today. It is at PS1 and a lot of good people and books will be there. I will be “launching” a new magazine called REAL WEIRD along with a batch of other books and things.

Dashwood Books just published a book of my drawings called A LOT OF PEOPLE. There will be a release this Wednesday, October 3, at Dashwood from 6 to 8pm.

I am having an art show opening next Friday, October 5, at 6 Decades Books and Boo Hooray Gallery on Canal Street. It is called A Slow Walk. There will be a new letterpressed portfolio there along with new drawings and photographs and writing and things.

I hope you can come to one or two or three of these things!

These are some people and things I saw (found or drew) when I was in the Bay Area (and on the way there and back).
