Person, Place, Things

I watched the movie "Born Into This" about (Hank) Charles Bukowski.


I watched the sun burn windows on the way from home.


An apartment building and the Maine Capitol.

I Have a Great-Nephew

My new great-nephew's name is Hunter. He was born today in Florida. I now have three nieces, two nephews, two great-nieces, and a great-nephew. And three of them were born in January, like me. Wooo!

Rain in Maine, Again

The rain in Maine falls gently once again
and is mixed in a puddle with oil & salt & slush
and is thrown on your clothes by a passing logging truck



If people who buy premium gas also eat at McDonald's, does that mean they care more about their car than themselves? If people drive cars instead of walk, does that mean they care more about themselves than the future? Does our future = McDonald's?


The Angelus: A Millet painting I saw in the Salvation Army. The prayers are shooting their souls into heaven like giant florescent lights.

Tenth Day of Maine 2008

I held my own televised debate by the Salvation Army Dumpster in Augusta Maine. My opponent Barack Obama did not show up.


In the middle of this week, for the past few days, an air system has pushed all of the pollution from the northeastern U.S. over Maine. A couple days ago I could see a yellow haze. Smog? It looks like it's going away.

Maine Day 9, 2008

I drew this w/ Photoshop. It is a roadkill.


Touch the Sound: 'Touch the Sound' is a movie by cinematographer and director Thomas Riedelsheimer. It is about the deaf musician and artist Evelyn Glennie.


I also watched 'The Sign of Four' a Sherlock Holmes movie. This scene has got to be a classic!

No Luck

My camera card became corrupt so I couldn't take this picture off of it. It was a girl on crutches trying to navigate her way down the slushy Augusta Maine sidewalks. I asked her what happened. She said her ex-boyfriend shot her in the foot. I guess I'm lucky I haven't been shot. (Please fate, don't be tempted.)

8th day of Maine, 2008

Jeff stands at the corner of Chapel & Court Streets in Augusta Maine. He reads his manuscript (a trade magazine) & smokes a cigarette.

Day 6

Last night after work I walked to the Augusta Maine police station to see if I could identify one of the four that kicked me in the head through a photo-line up. There were six photos. The officer said that it was possible that none of them were suspects, that is what I suspect because I couldn't positively ID any of them.
Never should I say "it can't get any worse," because it will.

Kicked in the Head

I was jumped friday night walking home by 4 teenagers who first almost ran me over. My Nikon D1X is now broke, along with the lens that was on it. Unfortunately getting jumped and kicked in the head is not uncommon to me. My sister says it's because I am always walking alone at night. She might be right. What really upsets me is my broken camera. My camera.


Watched Sherlock Holmes & The Last Vampire, amazing.

2008 day 4

High snow, but the sidewalks are cleared on Western Avenue.


Crosswalk signals, don't do much here.

Day 3

Wrote down meaningless things in my notebook. I made some t-shirts on CafePress.Com.


Derek explains how ArchEnemys, a fetish clothing store on Water Street in Augusta Maine, got its start as a comic book shop.
