Well, someone had to make his “Library” portrait.

YouTube Video

I was one of the 100,000+ people who attended the Women’s March in San Francisco. I brought my camera and shot video (well, I shot until it got so waterlogged from the the rain it stopped focusing). Today I attempted to edit that footage and try to capture at least a bit of the feeling from this historic march (but to be honest, the Nina Simone track I used is really do a lot of the heavy lifting).

Just another piece of

I'm 30 Today. Mr. Bush, you officially took my 20's.

I remember it far too vividly in fact. It was November 7th, 2000 and I was 21 years old, in college, and living in Philadelphia. I had driven the hour back to my hometown to vote against you, Mr. Bush, in the first presidential election I was eligible for. By the time I drove back to my disheveled artist apartment on the edge of North Philly Fox had already called the election and the rest is history.

I was 21.

Scranton, Pa

Local bus driver Edmund Kuhnston expressed deep frustrations with the unseasonably high amount of political candidates and their surrogates that have been carelessly ending up under his bus.

Alternative Title (with double negative) : Just because I'm young and new to politics doesn't mean I won't light this fucking place on fire.

This is for the most part my first diary although it's a concept I've been meaning to write about for quite some time (and I apologize if it has been covered and/or covered to death by other diarists).

A good starting point is the image below:

RNC Protest (Philadelphia 2000)

I took this photo in the streets of Philadelphia in the summer of 2000 during the Republican National Convention. This RNC protester is "gesturing" to the mounted riot cops that were directly behind me. Shortly after this photo was taken the police began to arrest anyone under 25. Needless to say, these were interesting times for me.

Now, its been a while since the summer of 2000 and a shit-ton of things have changed (sorry, a less crass word seemed like an understatement) and, on top of this, a whole new generation is now eligible to vote.

Since 2003 I've had a few friends serve tours of duty in Iraq. On their return I've met them for beers and listened to them about the places they've been and the things they've seen. It's weird sometimes knowing that the guy who once played guitar in that band of ours from highschool now has stories about taking automatic weapon fire and using his Humvee as cover. Nevertheless, it all does help me build a better picture of what it's like over there. A picture that would be nearly impossible to get from the 30 second news reports on cable tv.

But now I know a different kind of person in Iraq. Late last year I met an amazing photographer named Toby Morris who has (just last week) crossed the border into Iraq and is stationed with a Marine division just outside Falujah.

His Iraq blog is undoubtedly going to be filled with some pretty amazing photos and his first hand accounts already seem pretty well thought out. In anycase, my first hope is that he stays safe and beyond that I hope he can keep posting uninhibited photos of the things he's experiencing.
