I used to work at College Humor and helped put together things called Original Videos. Now I go to Pratt Institute in Brooklyn to study photography.

I also have a blog of

I am on my 18th day of taking self-portraits. This past three weeks has been a substantial period of outlook-altering growth and this is the best way for me to express it, whether that idea is evident or not.

You can view the ongoing series here.

Who wants to join me in a long-term adventure to visit all of the photobooths in NYC?

Why Taylor Swift Offends Little Monsters, Feminists, and Weirdos

“Rather than choosing an established/evolved talent (Beyoncé) or a revolutionary (Lady Gaga), the Grammys chose someone who, according to her lyrics, has spent her entire life waiting for phone calls and dreaming about horses and sunsets.”

i have nothing against taylor swift…but i do agree with this

WELL SAID.

Recently a huge part of my work shifted somewhat into a different direction that is more about my creative process and personal struggle/journey. I’m in the middle of a time of exasperation and inward thinking which has motivated me to look to myself for inspiration and ways of expressing the kinds of ideas and images that I want to make. I don’t write because it makes my thoughts feel permanent. Somehow the photographic self-portrait makes me feel more grounded to a time and place, which is often crucial for me to move forward.

My silkscreening teacher looks exactly like a slightly older Sam Merlotte from True Blood.

American Red Cross - Support Haiti

Just donated $20. Everyone should give something if possible. This country has so little to work with to restore itself and help its people.

Lady Gaga Somehow Becomes Creative Director of Polaroid

“I am so proud to announce my new partnership with Polaroid as the creative director and inventor of specialty projects,” said Lady Gaga. “The Haus of Gaga has been developing prototypes in the vein of fashion/technology/photography innovation—blending the iconic history of Polaroid and instant film with the digital era—and we are excited to collaborate on these ventures with the Polaroid brand. Lifestyle, music, art, fashion: I am so excited to extend myself behind the scenes as a designer, and to as my father puts it—finally, have a real job.”

I don't make resolutions.

I don’t like living with the constant fear that I’ll forget about or break them. For me, things like that hang over my head and become more about dreading the day or instance that I forget about or can’t live up to them. I think of it as setting myself up for possible failure, though in most cases they’re made for exactly the opposite to happen instead. I think I’m better at tackling things one day or week or maybe even one month at a time.

That said, I think this year I’ll try to have more fun. In general. But that’s not a resolution, it’s just a suggestion.

I had to go to Blockbuster to buy a new copy of Jurassic Park because mine got scratched up. It is my favorite movie of all time so naturally I wouldn’t just settle for occasionally Netflixing it. Anyway, when I went to pick it up, the kid said “I have all three. The third one rules.” I said, “You think the third movie is the best?” He said that he did and I quickly gathered my dvd and receipt because that is not a conversation I was willing to begin.

The first movie is an amazing work of genius and anyone who thinks the second or third were better or even remotely good is no friend of mine.

Also, the dad of one of my friends at school was the guy who animated the raptors, etc. She said her family has pictures of her on location as a baby sitting on Steven Spielberg’s lap. There’s a special feature with him on the Collector’s Edition.
