[Wayback Machine] Candid A photo of a girl I took at a downtown San Diego art event sometime in the early 2000’s. At the time there were still a few older loft buildings converted from commercial or sometimes something warehouse-like, but used now for intermediate purposes as they await the wrecker’s ball in the path of development. This girl was […]

Judge Learned Hand, Defender of The Free Press
“It serves as the most vital of all general interests: the dissemination of news from as many different sources, and with as many different facets and colors as possible. That interest is closely akin to, if indeed it is not the same as, the interest protected by the First Amendment; it presupposes that right conclusions are more likely to be gathered out of a multitude of tongues, than through any kind of authoritative selection. To many this is, and always will be folly; but we have staked upon it our all.” ~ Judge Learned Hand, as quoted during The Failing Newspaper Act hearings of 1967 by Senator Philip A. Hart of Michigan.

Ms Kitten’s Scene
In 1997 Ms Kitten had a fashion show at a large venue called 4th&B in San Diego, well it was more like a freak show but we can talk about that later, and I shot it for Reviewer Magazine. I think we ran the full page black and white photo collage in issue three. I’m converting a bunch of photos […]

The Chris Squire video on YouTube from last month in Baltimore is set as a Premiere for April 30 at 12:30 p.m.. So It’s private now until then. I have to work on my vee-logging skills and this video is something I’m going to put a wrapper on. I had it up on Patreon as an unlisted link for all […]
