June 29 2010 I gave Matt my camera so he could take a few shots of us. I’m hardly ever ready to relinquish the role as memory-capturer, but today was a special occasion. This marks my last day with the StoryCorps’ team. We only gathered three times during my tenure at StoryCorps. We met for training, [...] June 26 2010 I looked over to our table and chairs and saw a man sitting by himself. He didn’t fit the bill, but there was a chance it was our participant. I went over and introduced myself. He was alone. And he was ours. Someone was scheduled to meet him, but the person canceled at [...] June 25 2010 8 cities. 12 months. I don’t know how to reflect on a year of recording Latinos and Latinas in the United States, so I’ll simply say thank you. I imagine my thoughts will be riddled with vignettes, flashbacks and snippets of participant’s stories for the rest of my life. Tomorrow is my last day [...] April 17 2010 We have two of these. We’re separated by the Mississippi, or at least that’s what they tell us. This is the West booth. I’ve only spent 3 weeks on the East booth. I spent 8 weeks in this office during my Colorado trip, spent 6 weeks with her in Houston and now 10 [...] March 24 2010 I didn’t expect to find a rising art scene in Fresno, Ca. Then I drove down Broadway Street toward San Joaquin in Downtown Fresno, hit the breaks and swerved to park. I saw a colorful horse, vibrant, galloping on a giant canvas in a parking lot. I almost dropped my camera after it [...] Feb 6, 2010 I grew up in Los Angeles, CA but it’s never quite the same for me whenever I return. I have so many different LA experiences that I never know which one is the legitimate one. I was raised in the San Fernando Valley in a suburban home, with suburban parents looking for the [...] Feb 4, 2010 I heard a nugget of creative wisdom yesterday that made me smile. My coworker said – and I’m paraphrasing – “you’re at your most creative when you’re most exhausted.” She said exhaustion leads to breakthroughs and I wondered how much of that was true for me. Coming upon a breakthrough, or moment of [...] Feb 3, 2010 Every photograph I’ve taken for this project has been on the day of the posting. This photograph was taken at 12:03am on Wed morning. My coworkers and I decided a nighttime swim would help us get to know each other and it did. This week we’re implementing fierce discussion and debate about our [...] Feb 2, 2010 This is the place where collaborations will emerge and blossom into something tangible and beautiful. We’ll focus on interacting with each other to create an influential plan of execution that will affect the lives of strangers from all over the country. This is the place where we’ll invent, discuss, merge, debate, contend, agree [...] Jan 20, 2010 I haven’t seen Jeremy since Rochester, NY: July 2009. Welcome back, Señor. Between Paonia & Somerset Colorado 2009 Paonia 2009 Downtown Paonia 2009
“Steve” is a transplant from the entertainment Mecca of the world: Los Angeles, Ca. He grew up in Malibu, won an Emmy, teaches digital media, once sold his Corvette to buy a 5mb hard drive (in 1982), now lives in Paonia, CO (pop. 1600) and DJs at KVNF Friday nights from 9:30pm to [...] It’s Friday night, 5pm. Revolution Brewing opens its doors and its taps. They were once Christian Science doors. The growlers are clean, pint glasses filled and peanut shell shucking has a green light. You’ve got four choices: Stout, Porter, IPA and “Sticky Thicket.” It’s only $3.50 so you’ve got a wad full of bills that [...] Montrose, Colorado 2009 Ouray, Colordo 2009 The Sign Reads: “It’s quite simple: Officially we open at 4:30 mainly since the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacoo + Firearms offices close @ 4:00 and we figured no government employee would work off the clock. This is so not the case w/the revenuers. Hence, sometimes we’ll open early. However, Tap Room hours can – [...] Montrose, CO 2009 2009 Hunter S. Thompson used his loudspeakers in Aspen, CO to blare out “Mr. Tambourine Man”. He’d shoot his .357 Magnum too, but I’m not investing in gunpowder. I’ll just stick to acoustic guitars and harmonicas. In the case of The Doors, let’s allow Ray Manzarek to shoot the hilltops, shall we? Blue skies hovering above [...] |
