So, I'll be in Barcelona and along the Costa Brava next month for my birthday.

Anyone here ever been?

Apparently, a lot of this kind of stuff goes on:

It's in every single frickin' guide I've seen so far.

What else is cool that's not in the travel guides? Digame, Killoggs.

The Simpson movie site actually has a pretty keen avatar editor. This is my first pass:



Make your own and post 'em here!

The photos from Loren's crawfish boil are up!

Here's our host preparin' the goods:



Thanks once again, Loren, for an awesome time and full bellies!







Check out the whole set on Flickr.

Can you feel the music?

Perhaps we need a "Zombie" category on this site.

This guy kinda looks like Josh.



So this makes me wanna ask all ya'lls... do you have a look-alike out there, celebrity or otherwise? Post pics!

The deranged professor and librarian at my company's holiday party:



I just received prints of these pics yesterday. I think it's weird that my company has prom-style photos at their parties... but we try to have fun with it.

So It's seemingly true that the SF contingent of Killoggs doesn't seem to be reading/posting here too much as of late. Perhaps it's the three earthquakes we had in one week. Perhaps it's because we have a forecast of possibly snow this week. Perhaps it's San Francisco values.

Things have been kinda boring around here save what I've just mentioned. Then again, I haven't really been paying much attention as of late. I haven't been doing much oot and aboot because it's been cold outside, which makes me want to wrap myself in a cocoon and watch Six Feet Under all evening. My thin CA blood thinks that it's been cold here this winter, although "cold" is often in the range of 40-50 degrees out.

We're in the middle of Macworld week, and the town's pretty abuzz with that. Every bus shelter and newspaper kiosk downtown is one big Apple ad. The iPhone has inspired many a lusting technogeek (myself included). I'm a bit saddened that Macworld has pretty much turned into iPodworld... there isn't as much computer-related stuff as there used to be. And definitely not as much good stuff for print designers such as myself. I spent an afternoon wandering the expo and came home with a new bus-powered external hard drive and a ton of promotional literature. Cheap Trick played the opening night party. I didn't go.

Just wanted to post an update from this side of the country. Where *are* the rest of you West Coasters, anyhoo?

I ran into my friend Derek today, who had recently returned from a press check for JPG Magazine. He gifted me with an advance copy of the next issue, and guess whose photo is in it?



Woo! Congrats, Josh!

I'm pleased to announce that the above photo that I shot (at Club Deluxe last December) has been selected as a top ten finalist in theBring on the Night Photography contest held by 7x7 Magazine !
The top ten photographs will be featured in the November issue of the magazine (which, as you can see here, has an "After Dark" theme). The issue should be out any day now... so keep an eye out for it!

Prints of the top 25 photos are being auctioned off to benefit SF Camerawork, a "non-profit organization encouraging emerging and mid-career artists to explore new directions in photography and related media by fostering creative forms of expression that push existing boundaries".

Congrats also go to my friend Derek (also known as one of the founders of JPG Magazine, the magazine that Josh is published in), who I noticed was also on the list of top ten photos for this contest as well!

I'm excited that my photography is slowly making its way into the public eye. I'm even more proud that I've been forgiving enough to myself and to my artwork that I feel comfortable in submitting my photography to these kinds of things. Self-criticism is a hard to thing to overcome.

Hello, Killoggs.

I are published.



I shot the feature photos for the story on Nakajima Nodder toys in the current issue (14) of Super7 Magazine, a really awesome toy collector/culture magazine. Hopefully it's being sold near you, check it out!
