If the doors of perception where cleansed, then everything would appear to man as is, infinite.

This postcard was created for a FotoFest exhibition titled Mechanical Perception featuring photographic work by Mei-Mei Dillard, Eileen Maxson, Brian Piana, Soody Sharifi and Anderson Wrangle. These artists are also alumni from the University of Houston Photo/Digital Media program hence the lineup for this show. Mechanical Perception exhibition runs from September 5 – October 12, 2008 at the FotoFest Headquarters.
In addition to a postcard for the event, I also had to screenprint a poster that would be sold and distributed at the show through FotoFest. This was one of my first poster outside the usual Nameless Sound or rock music poster; this being one for a local art space. This was also the first poster that I created my new studio space, Box 13 ArtSpace.
This is the print sheet just hours returning from a press check Simon Printing where these postcards were being printed. This is the final product that I approved just before the entire job is run and then trimmed.
Spent a few hours out with Brad from BJ310S Photography around Susan Gilmour Beach. Was having a ball with my 50mm prime f1.4 Sigma lens on a few random rocks.

Thanks to shobhana sriram (neoshobhs) for introducing us to the smoke photography idea.
Snapped this right when she woke up and wandered outside. This is the "dont f#*ing take a picture of me face.
I titled it Perception because beauty is relative to the viewer.
The morning was overcast so there was great light on her face. Duotone in PS.

The fate of Pruitt-Igoe can be attributed to many social, economic, and architectural factors, but ultimately the project failed because it was designed for a utopian society that doesn’t exist. Inherently, these utopias are sites that have no real place; they are sites that have a general relation with the real space of Society. After the demolition of the Pruitt-Igoe housing project in the 1970’s, time continued to move forward for the City of St. Louis, but people's negative perception of the site remained. The city's negligence of the site over the years that followed gradually transformed this lingering perceptional-memory into fact, leaving Pruitt-Igoe to exist to this day as the troubled epicenter of an area now associated with escalated levels of crime and poverty. There have been relatively few attempts to develop the site over the years, but each new proposal has faced the same opposition from former Pruitt-Igoe residents, forever linking the site with its long and charged history. This inability to completely reject its past has established the site as a placeless place in the mind of the city’s inhabitants.
In essence, the passage of time has allowed the Pruitt-Igoe site to evolve into a heterotopia; a place that Michel Foucault would describe as being a space between space, a place of indefinitely accumulating time, and a site capable of juxtaposing in a single real place several sites that are in themselves incompatible. While not completely falling into the chaotic pressures of a dystopia, the heterotopia is flexible, very transient in nature, and rests comfortably somewhere in-between the dystopia and the aforementioned utopia. Consequently, the successful re-development of the Pruitt-Igoe site will rely on embracing and manifesting this fact, as illustrated in the following design.
