J Bloomrosen - The Illustrated Photographer/Actor's Blurbs
About me: ..
I'm very strange.
I'm very tattooed.
I'm very creative.
I'm very odd.
I'm sometimes even.
I photograph bands and people and things.
I write.
I'm right.
I'm wrong (often).
I act.
I act well.
I act badly.
I actually act (on stage and screen).
I love wordplay.
I love to play.
I love myself (usually).
I could love you (most of the time).
I have photographed more than 600 of the world's biggest bands (well some were under 6 feet), everyone from The Grateful Dead to Green Day. A few examples are above. See? Many more are under PICS.
I'm signed to The Walnut Street Gallery in Fort Collins, Colorado. This is the same place that sells the artwork of Jerry Garcia, Carlos Santana, Dr. Seuss(!), and a few others.
I also act and was cut out entirely from "The Lady In The Water."
You can see me in "Nightmare" though. An indie fick that won all sorts of awards at film fests. Hopefully it'll reach a theater near you, or at least DVD, soon.
MY SCENES FROM NIGHTMARE ARE BELOW: Come on people, check 'em out... and leave comments. I'm dying for people to see me in this film!
My AIM is bloomrosen@mac.com
I am also a new SCUBA diver and kayaker. I knew I liked being on boats, but under them?! That's a new one for me!
Who I'd like to meet: I've been lucky enough to meet almost everyone I'd like to.
Now...
WORKING with some people is another story. I'd really like to work with:
TODD RUNDGREN UPDATE
JUNE 2009 - I AM working with Todd Rundgren on a book-a-night thing for his next tour!
the rest of the Dead (Phil Lesh!!! Do you hear me?)
the Polyphonic Spree
Dionysos
Indochine
Rufus Wainwright
the Scissor Sisters
Pink Floyd
They are all amazingly cool
Oh yeah...
Green Day and Pete Townshend as well
Meeting a lover would be real nice at this point though.
Meanwhile back at the Ranch the then President also known as Colonel Cornpone got out a blank Army draft and began to fill in the spaces with men and Colonel Cornpone got down to the bottom of the order where there is a space to indicate just where the troops are to be sent and Colonel Cornpone got a faraway look in his eye and his eye wandered over the spinning world and after a long time he said I See No Relief so they brought him a relief map of the world and he looked at it a long time and said Thank You Gentlemen I see it all very clearly now yes indeed everything stands out very clearly now and I can see the oceans themselves rolling back and Western civilization still marching Westward around the world and the New Frontier now truly knows no boundaries and these there Vietnamese don't stand a Chinaman's chance in Hell but still there's all these Chinamen who think they do and also think they can actually reverse the natural Westward spin of our globe but Gentlemen these are not War Games this is not Space Angels this is the real thing Gentlemen and I know right exactly where this here Vietnam is Gentlemen and I want to make doubly sure that all our own people know right exactly where this here Vietnam is Gentlemen in any case any of you should happen to get cornered by some eggheads or someone And just then Ladybird came running and Colonel Cornpone stepped into the cloakroom and whispered to her The world really does rotate Westward don't it? and she being smarter than he as is usually the case whispered back that this here Vietnam was no a place but a state of mind and Colonel Cornpone got that old faraway look again and stepped back onto the front porch and sat there rocking for a long time and then said Gentlemen I am a family man and this is for real and I am hereby ordering the complete and final Liberation of Vietmind I mean Vietnam for the roots of trouble are found wherever the landless and the oppressed the poor and despised stand before the gates of opportunity and are not allowed across the Frontier into the Great Society which seems to lie out before me like land of dreams and so Gentlemen here we go fasten your seatbelts we are powerful and free and united there ain't much we can't do and so Gentlemen let me point out to you where it is we all are going on this here globe because Gentlemen even though I am reputed never to have been outside the United States I do know right where we are going on the brink of Vietmind I mean Vietnam and even though we don't want to stop the world spinning in the right direction even for an instant I do want to slow it down just long enough for me to put my finger for you right on this here sore spot which is Vietmine I mean Vietnam And Colonel Cornpone put out his hand to slow down the world just a bit but this world would not be slowed down a bit this world would not stop spinning at all and Texas and Vietnam spun together faster and faster slipping away under Colonel Cornpone's hand because the surface of this world had suddenly become very very slippery with a strange kind of red liquid that ran on it across all the obscene boundaries and this world went spinning faster and faster in the same predestined direction and kept on spinning and spinning and spinning and spinning!
