1986 was, overall, a good year, but I don't think this was a good moment for me. On the upside, I was in the 6th grade at a middle school, away from the bullying that I endured the year before at my elementary school. This was my first year of art classes at the Carnegie Museum of Art, which ran from the 6th grade through 9th grade. It was an exciting time: I met new people and made a few new friends. On the downside, I quickly learned that there were artists far, far more advanced than I was at my age. One of my first "friends" at these art classes was a kid who, during our first conversation on the first day of classes, told me about how his uncle taught him how to snatch purses! We were 11-12 years old! This kid didn't last very long, if I recall correctly. So I ended up kind of floating between established cliques of friends for much of the year. I remember not enjoying the classes as much as everyone else, but my parents were excited and proud of me for finishing my first year of classes. This photo sort of embodies the mood of that day: my parents were happy and proud and in the moment while I was staring off, dreading what was to come. Eventually, I endured some bullying at the art classes too. I must've been having a psychic moment when this photo was taken. There are a few photos from this same day where I'm happy and in the moment, like my parents were. I swear they exist! One day, I'll show ya! Oh, and how do you like my Members Only jacket? LOL
Four years ago, almost on the day, in Åre Sweden.
Great place, great spot and a wonderful stay at the ski resort.
covered for the national victory celebration parade 1991. I think this was to protect sculptures from potential flying gravel caused by helicopters landing on the national mall.
From back in the days when I was working in the southern suburbs.
No one tried anything when I was present.
Weird. Really weird.
But good times.
Sometimes I miss that.
