Photogrpahy, philosophy, occult, archaeology, strange little trinkets from foreign shores, making flower pots explode with my gun, driving faster than the law likes, and eating potato skins.

About me: Hippy, yuppy, punk, metalhead cowboy who photographically tries to create a believable non-reality, with little to no photoshop work. Trying to capture an image or idea that breaks photography away from the bonds of being "reality". Like the work of Scott Mutter and Jerry Ulesmann in it's intent, although my execution of the idea is different.
According to roAE my photographs are,"Creeptacular".
Innocent[ramblings]says,"I don't frick'n know, it's too late".
Rik was unavailible for comment.
I say,"they are faboo, and you should check them out"!
..
Who I'd like to meet: John Wayne, the Brain, and Sun Tzu at a coffee shop. OR people involved in the Cincy music scene, other artists, activists, non-profits, photographers, graphic designers. Creative, strange people.
Anyone that can do zombie make up, or would pose for a zombie fashion shoot.

I spent the whole night hiding behind a bush dressed like the "el diablo" taking teenagers out at the ankles... pinning them down... berating them for not stealing liquor from their parents and partying like teenagers are supposed to... then stealing their candy (lemonheads, pillow cases and all).... in all it was a very productive evening! How was your Halloween?
I'm doing well! My sister got married last weekend so I'm still recovering from too much partying! :) It's good to hear from you! What are you up to these days?
Trevor, a sincere thank you for helping me get the material together for this video. Hope you like it, and I look forward to doing something more in the future, if you're up for it. Thanks again, Matthew
