“The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them -- words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for want of an understanding ear.”

~Stephen King

Here's me.

Campus Circle magazine,

for whom I shoot almost weekly

photo essays and the

occasional cover photo

is doing a photography issue

and asked me to create a page

of photos with text, which I did -

and also to submit a bio

and photo of myself.

I gave them an old photo

of me that my pal

Henry Diltz shot -

but they didn't like its

quality - it was blown up a bit -

so I invited my beamish boy

to shoot his daddy with

daddy's camera

outside of our home-

and I put a sunflower

in a junkyard trumpet to

hold as a prop

and put on my

Bob Dylan hat of feathers

and flowers-

and Jonah Sparks shot

my photo - very quickly,

competently - as he has seen

me do a thousand times -

taking many photos from many

angles while talking to me.

The kid is a pro.

And here you are.

A portrait of me

as photographed

by Jonah Sparks.

Gunnar was diagnosed with a heart failure at the beginning of February. He was originally given,at best, 3-6 months to live but here he is, almost 9 moths later.

Met him outside of

a little cafe on Hollywood

Boulevard, and was struck by

his gaze

and his facial tattoos. He was

sitting with friends. I was with

my companion, my beamish

boy. Always amazes me when

people have tattoos in their

faces. What a commitment.

Last night late I

concocted this photo.

Secret Heart

Based on the myths of Cupid and Psyche and The Dream of Angus, Post Secret, and wishing trees, I want you to think about the things that you wish you had said to a past significant other or something that you want to say to a current one right now. In both myths, lovers were split apart by other people or simply by the fact that one had only seen the other in a dream. Cupid marries Psyche in secret to avoid the ire of the goddess of love, Venus. He can only come to her in the night so that she cannot see him and does not say one word to her because he cannot reveal his identity. Angus falls in love with Caer in a dream and remains lovesick until she is found.

In the present day, separation of husbands and wives and boyfriends and girlfriends mirror the two myths in a sense. The recurring theme is separation, whether it is due to war, jobs in other countries, death, or simply because they cannot remain in a relationship together despite still being in love. In order that we may use our communicative abilities with those whom we love while we have the chance or say the thing that we have always wanted to say to a significant other from the past, thereby releasing a secret (requisite of Frank Warren’s community art project Post Secret), I give you that chance now.

On the tags that I provide, with photos of hearts on one side indicating that the message is from the heart, write down what you want to say, tied to the past or from the present. After you have written down your message, hang the tag on the wishing tree. Once the messages are on the tree, they are carried on the wind and air into the atmosphere, symbolically expressing your message for you and paving the way for you to voice them yourself or move on from the past.

9/14/08 - I spent the day in Washington D.C. with my parents and a friend who's very close to me. We went to visit my sister, her friend, and her boyfriend. I had an amazing day with amazing people. I saw the most wonderful sunset I've ever seen on the way home and rested my head. I'm more than content. Last night was an insane night and I was scared to tears. It was worth it. Today was the cherry on top of a sweet weekend.

"You know my heart, (so tell me honestly did you ever really want this?) knows all these parts. ('Cause my jealous heart can't take that.)" - Mayday Parade.

Took many shots of my

beloved and yes,

beamish boy -

on the boulevard of

dreams, Hollywood Boulevard -

this past weekend. Passing one

nicely painted wall, I asked him to

pose wearing my hat of

flowers and feathers -

and he happily obliged -

in a good mood cause we both

love Hollywood - and he got

a new red feather and

a magnet and a

Simpsons poster and

a quesadilla, so life is

good and fun

and I took two photos I loved

here - so merged

them into this one.

"Hey....hey hot pants....shhhhh...can't you see the director is checking out your ass?"

At the south side of

Hollywood Boulevard

just west of Las Palmas

these three dudes were

posing with one of the

Walk of Fame stars - and were

being filmed and mugging for

the camera. The Walk of Fame

has many blank stars - without

any names or insignias yet -

to be filled later sometime -

and this was one.

I took some shots of them

being filmed and then

when they were done asked

them to pose for me, and here they

did. I asked them why a blank

star

and they said so their names

could go there. Not sure what

they were filming this for,

who knows?

Last night late I

painted the star.
