Paperless Tigers

(formerly Artifice)

The start of a new musical project. A couple years ago I lost all of my recorded instrumental material (spanning ages 15-21). Recently I found 5 beats/loops that I had thrown away (circa age 17)… published to inspire myself to stop mourning that which has been buried and plant something new.

This is very much an analogue/plastic/lo-fi film gallery, but I was out with my love the other night and shot a couple frames on her digital. I don’t want them to go to waste.

16th Street, Denver.

Starbucks Hunger #1

I enjoy putting myself into these kinda frames…

I like this guy; he’s homeless but never asks passerbys for anything. I always offer him a drink and he’ll accept once every ten times, in which case he provides the funniest bar conversation I’ll have gotten in weeks. His “thing” is that he sits outside of this Starbucks until they close and then asks for the sandwiches they have to throw away. Apparently, individual Starbucks throw away enough food everyday to keep a grown man alive and smiling…

I shot 2 frames, after which he asked to shoot one of me.. so, look forward to my first guest spot…

Camel-coat Hunger

Black Slim Devil
BW400
Lens flare…

I see this man constantly around the neighborhood; He always walks from college bar to bar, never going inside, and picks the smokeable cigarette butts from the ashtrays; He always wears the same giant burnt-camel coat, even in the dead of summer; he always smiles, constantly grinning into the distance, until someone approaches and his smile droops into the same vicious scowl… I gave him a fresh cigarette and happened to catch a smirk.

I always see this man around the neighborhood. He collects cans on his bicycle. The other day he walked past dripping blood, burying the rag deep in his face. This is the frame.

His sign was covered in pictures of women in bikinis, all in glossy white-framed 8 by 10. He wasn’t selling anything, just asking for money. The sign reads: “Sarah Palin For President. Colorado, Denver.”

His hat reads “Elvis Country.”
