Coney Island, NY 2011

I saw Ted Danson this day too. That makes two celebrity sightings since I moved to New York.

Him. And Gilbert Gottfried.

I don't recognize faces very well. So, I've probably seen more.

Rob Lomblad came to my class as a visiting artist and told the students that they should write along with posting pictures on their blogs.

I still don't know what to say, so I'm gonna say this:

go see Rob's stuff, its quite nice:

That is all.

What I'm working on... formally.

2009-11-01T22:38:00.001-05:00

Toledo, Ohio is located on the western end of Lake Erie, on the Michigan-Ohio border, about an hour south of Detroit. Its history is rooted in manufacturing, starting with innovations in the plate glass industry and developing later as a hub of suppliers to the automakers in Detroit. As the manufacturing industry has declined, so has Toledo.

I have been traveling to Ohio on a regular basis to make photographs. I am interested in the trickle down effect the decline in manufacturing has on the larger local economy. This is visually evident in the husks of strip-malls and abandoned commercial and industrial spaces that litter the landscape.

I hope to expand the project to include the grassroots movements that have cropped up locally to shape the future of Toledo into one that considers sustainability and local production/consumption.

With abandoned relics of better times littering the landscape, Toledo can serve as a microcosm of America's contemporary challenges. All around are indicators of the downturn in the global economy, the loss of "Yankee ingenuity," and the pitfalls of a shift towards developing for profit versus developing for need.

Dad.

My dad doesn't like to be photographed.

Glass City.

2009-10-30T20:09:00.002-04:00

Well. I'm in Toledo. For now. Photographing. Also, I drive a catering truck to factories in the morning.

I'm here to work on a photo project called "Glass City" that revolves around mid-western rust belt cities and the decline of manufacturing in America. More on that later.

I've been here since August. I'll be back in New York probably at the end of February.
