Yo, yo, yo. It’s me. Paul. Here’s a piece of candy. Eye candy that is.

I’m back. In monochrome no less. Yay!

Ali asked me to do a photo-shoot for her senior portfolio the other day. Jake would have done it but he was already tied up as the model so the task was taken over by me. It was a great experience and I had fun. It was my first real exposure to studio lighting and I think it went fairly well. Most of the time was dedicated to what Ali needed for her portfolio but there was some extra time for me to experiment a little. Hope you like it.

Sorry,  It’s been a while.

I’ve been listening to a lot of new music lately. Stuff that just came out and stuff that’s just new to me. Deerhoof, Cage the Elephant’s self-titled debut, Arctic Monkeys’ new album Humbug, Modest Mouse’ new EP No One’s First and You’re Next, and my personal favorite is Jack White’s new supergroup The Dead Weather with Horehound. I highly recommend it because it’s just brilliant, as with most anything Jack White does.

The band is comprised of Jack White (The White Stripes, The Raconteurs), Alison Mosshart (The Kills, Discount), Dean Fertita (Queens of the Stone Age), and Jack Lawrence (The Raconteurs, The Greenhornes). Sometimes a great lineup does not for a great band make. But this is not the case here as nearly every song has at least 4 stars in my media player. Of course, that’s, like, my opinion man. You can get a taste below if you so desire.

Paul and I took a walk to a nearby park. We happened upon a tree whose braches were filled with red tags marked with existential questions such as this one. Don’t know who put them there or why but it was an interesting find. What do you think, is it better to stay or go? Should we ask The Clash? I think so.

I love Lightroom. What a handy tool that is. It can help you turn meh photos into good photos. What do y’all think?

P.S. Happy birthday John!
