1992 ON THE MOON

In all honesty, I really should be sleeping right now.  I have been getting 3-5 hours (max) of sleep a night this past week.  I have been epically busy, in the best way possible.  What with photographing and editing photos for Civic Theatre of Allentown 's upcoming production of "Rent," to assisting a fellow photographer (George ) with a shoot today (I was reflector holder AND water splasher.  Highly challenging, actually), to shooting and editing a photo jam sesh I had with Amber  today, I have been all over the place and back.  So much fun.  Tomorrow I am going hiking at Glen Onoko Falls with a few friends, and Friday I am going on a junk search so that I can begin helping Will build the junk sculpture for the set of "Rent."  I'm also gonna tweak and mail out some resumes/cover letters within the next two days.  This has been the most productive week I've had in a long time, I'd say!

Here is the result of the "Photo Jam Sesh" today.  The aim was for Amber and me to exercise our styling skills, and have some ridiculous fun simultaneously.  The clothes are from my closet, the styling was done by Amber and me, the theme was (loosely) grunge/the 90s.  The photos of me were taken by Amber, the photos of Amber were taken by me, and they were all edited in Photoshop by me.

1992 ON THE MOON

When my Mother got home, she was really confused as to why the "DETOUR" sign was in our tree...

So, this one time, Courtney Love was birthed from my evergreen tree, and she came to hang out with me!

So, this is what it looks like when you mix together the Log Lady from "Twin Peaks" with Peg Bundy from "Married with Children," and you add a dash of Courtney Love from her kinderwhore phase.

And then the unthinkable happened...I grew a plastic doll head on my left arm, and Amber grew fake, paper eyes over her real eyes.  And, to think, it all happened by the very same tree that birthed Courtney Love.

hahahaha I am a wonderfully awkward head at the bottom of this picture (accompanied by the doll head, of course).
