Our project here was to get this crane back on it's wheels. I didn't get to stick around for real work.
…And it hit me like a fright train.
Around about this time a year ago, one of the big hips in my life had revolved around the idea that I was finally going to see one of my stories become a comic book series. As you can see, a year later. That never happened. Not only did my story, like so many before never leave the pages of it’s original manuscript, the aforementioned comic book company never even managed to spread its wings and get off the ground. Bad management sealed our fate, and it was over before it had even begun.
I can’t say the experience was entirely heart braking. I figure any opportunity that arises worthy enough to get my gears grinding out a new story is always a plus. The comic book, maybe dead (at least for the moment) but the story is not. And in this case I feel like it was a double plus, considering I decided to run with an idea my wife had been quietly sitting on for a good number of years. Odele, isn’t dead. She’s just been put on the back burner. Actually I get to call it a triple whammy. During that time frame we’d also befriended a fellow writer, and have since stayed in touch. We still have aspirations of working on a project together one day. And we’ve both been patiently hunting for an opportunity since.
That was a year ago, and opportunities. Well they just don’t seem to be there. That got me thinking today. Well, actually like I’d mentioned before. It kind of hit me like a freight train. “Dude, I should just make my own damn comic book.” Then I remembered that I couldn't draw worth a shit, and for a second I kind of pushed the idea out of my head. Till I thought back on Sin Blanca. I’ve done three installments now. Each three panels long. Each a little more intricate then the last. Sort of like character development. Or early storyboard concepts. And that’s when it really hit me.
“I don’t need to find an artist to make a comic book. I already have one…Me.”
I’m not even sure it’s ever been done before but that is my plan. I’m going to start a new story (there’s a reason for that). My aim is for a short forty page graphic novel. Dark, dry, dirty, and left wide open for the opportunity to further the story. Simple. I already have a new protagonist. Sin. To turn it into a graphic novel, I’m not going to call on artists to draw me up pages though. I’m going to rally a few friends, pass a script around, and create the entire thing with my camera.
I’m gonna make a comic book with processed pictures. Hence the reason for a new story. I can think outside of the box, but only as far as what my camera lens can feasibly capture. A ten story building blowing up, and then collapsing. Cool as that might sound. I’m pretty sure I’m not going to be able to get a picture of that. I have limitations. But this isn’t the first time I’ve had to write under scrutiny, and really I’m limited only by what I think I can shoot, and post process. Beyond that. The sky is the limit.
If all goes well I hope to have a decent story in the next few months. Rally a few friends to enlist as cast, and hopefully shooting will begin on schedule early to mid spring.
I have a feeling this is going to be fun as hell.

I did not make these custom HissTanks, I just photographed them. To check out the ongoing art project visit the CanvHISS Project on Facebook!
this is from my "project in process" and i shooted this weekend and today i finished some of the pictures. Enjoy
A assingment that later became a project,
A lot of the inspiration i got from a wonderful photographer named Francesca Woodman.
((A young girl, who used her naked body, and created soulfull photographs whithout a sexual feeling.
Dark, beautiful, mysterious. i think at least.))
Anyhow, I wanted to take pictures, with inspiration from her, but still me, and here is some of the result.
I Photographed everything with a Hasselblad, Tri-X 400 ISO film, developed by my self, and spend quite many hours in the darkroom until i was satisfied. There pictures, are SCANNED pictures from the finished picture. So the quality ( because a quite crappy scanner) aren't as good as it should be..

This is a project that is very personal to me. With a goal to reflect about things in my life by going beyond my comfort zone and understanding todays world view through the life stories of others.
I will this time not only interview strangers but also people I know to have a larger scope of interviews.
Hope you enjoy it.

18 year old french student. Her favorite color is green and her favorite food is seafood.
Her dream is that her "life becomes a voyage" and two words she used to describe herself was "Fighter", when I asked why, she just said :"If at first you don't succeed, try try again" and the second word to describe herself was "Daring" because she could leave everything to find adventure "I don't know how to ride a motocycle, but I would do it anyways if someone asked me."
Her favorite childhood memory was when her parents where still together and they where all having a great time together around the pool. Her worst childhood memory was seeing her family fall apart.
If Barbara could change anything in today's world it would be the "individualistic and hypocrite mentality of our society."
I then asked her what the word "Happiness" meant for her and she replied: "It's the ephemeral feeling of really existing."

This car competed in the 2¼ hour long Gentlemen Drivers GT and Sports Endurance Race at the HGPCA's International Historic Grand Prix meeting at Donington Park in May 2004. It's shown in the programme of the event as a 1961 3.9 litre Aston Martin DB4 GT to be driven in the race by Wolfgang Friedrichs and David Clark, but it is actually Wolfgang Friedrichs' replica of the Aston Martin Project 214 cars that were built in 1963.
Never got to finish some of my reviews (mostly my fault) but I didn't want to leave these pictures unreleased.
So here is the image gallery from the Project Mc2 Wave 3 Bryden review that never happened. Enjoy.

This didn't work out quite as I liked, the ice container was almost empty, not sure if I'll get another chance this week so here it is.
My finished sketchbook - showing the little flag book across the top as well and one of a couple fold-out pages. This project was too much fun!!!

Ross is a 37 year old musicien. His favorite color is turquoise and his favorite food is steamed fried vegetables with fish and white wine.
When I asked what his dream was, he replied: "I don't believe in dreams, they put too much pressure on people and gets people to worship others for their achievements, they can become delusions and unhealthy."
Two words to describe himself was "Introverted" because he needs to sometimes spend time with by himself to figure things out, and "Forgiven" because " it's what I feel when I think of my relationship with God."
Ross's best childhood memory was when he was 6 and sitting in apricot tree eating apricots. His worst childhood memory was when he had recurring nightmares of a tractor weel chasing him and on another occasion him being forcibly separated from his parents at a conference.
If Ross could change anything in today's world, it would to make himself more helpful to others as possible.
For him, "Happiness" is being in the presence of God.

Ok, so here we go onto another big project; something I have been wanting to do and upon pondering for sometime; it's time to get this lined up for 2014. Basic rules are one picture per day and I will not use my iPhone.. my primes will carry the all the visual work. Strobes are permitted and upon finishing the project, I will give myself a gift.... a printed photo book.
Equipment used
Manitou Telehandler
3 ton Manitou Fork lift
15 ton Fork lift
Hino 7 ton Hiab truck
Reach Stacker
Four Containers arrived at location and preparation to un-stuff began. Oversized loads were inspected for damage in transit, a pre-determined lifting plan actioned. Steel.Steel beams were stacked on top of the cargo which meant that manual labor was needed to un-stuff each container prior to using the MHE.
Once the steel had been removed manually, pallet trucks and fork lifts made easy work of un-stuffing the containers and placing the cargoes in the designated unpacking area.
Each container presented a different challenge regarding the safest way to un-stuff the cargo to prevent any damage. Eight meter steel beams had to be manually un-stacked before the telehandler could reach into the containers and pull the individual pieces out.
CEA provided all plastic sheeting and tarpaulins made at our plastic production facilities in Laem Chabang, these would protect the new ground surface from heavy equipment damage whilst the operation was underway.
The oversized cargo was lifted out of the containers through the use of a Reach Stacker.
Each of the four containers presented their own individual difficulties for manual and mechanical un-stuffing, the CEA team improvised and adapted well to overcome each hurdle much to the delight of the client.
200m of boards with Brave, Ekto, Kak, and 3 other guys. hotest weekend of the year but the kids were great and produced some really nice work.
It's been a while since I was so happy with the final result of my photos. I absolutely love this one, the tones, the mood. Everything! Fortunately I'm feeling better today. A lot better in fact. I've been fighting some inside "demons", and I feel like I'm being successful doing it. We can't always have what we want, so the better thing to do is learn to live with what you can have.
Hope you're all okay!
