Santa Monica, Calif.//
The main reason I’ve been digging through this series is because I’m planning on turning it into a zine. I have a rough idea about the edit but that’s never good enough. So I’ve enlisted my friend Alexander Martinez (zine maestro) to help me with the edit and process of turning it into a zine.
I might have said it before but I’l repeat it again. One of the best things about all this internet stuff is connecting with other people who have similar interests and ideas as you. It can be intimidating reaching out initially but I it’s worthwhile, especially if you think the person might have a similar sensibility as you do.
It’s been about five years since I made these photographs. I’ve made edits. I’ve thought about them. I’ve written a few words. I’ve thought about them again. I’ve posted them on Flickr and Tumblr. I’ve asked my friend for their opinions.
It’s all apart of the process. You make work and then struggle to finish it. The battle with this series is almost done. I have a few more words to write but I’m not worried about that anymore. The course is set and I can’t wait to put this work into print.
From the series ‘Medicine,’ Los Angeles 2006-2007
