I am pie
If you wanted to express to others about who I was, after my death, done in the vein of an artist [see: Museum Honours Late Artist.] you would see the floor covered in lemon merengue pie. And I mean, the whole thing. Graham cracker biscuit crumb base held together with butter, layered on top the…

Hyperrealism Part IV
And finally, the best of the rest, as they say. I have so many photos but rather than overwhelm my blog (and you) with images, here are 4 more amazing pieces from this fantastical exhibit. ice cub man flat man emergent man Honestly, the guy encased in the “ice” box was very disturbingly real looking.…

Hyperrealism Part III
Harkonnen Nude. Yes, yes I went there, it was a much more polite way to talk about this particular figure and piece of artwork rather than stating the obvious. I chose to shoot this one in black and white with spotlight highlights to showcase the exhibit, I hope, in an eery way. Not that it…

The Pentax Q-10
