The Fattoria On My Street

On the fattoria no one ever went hungry. No one ever got bored. On the fattoria you could just sit down and do nothing and still not waste your time.

Johnson's still


Johnson's still, originally uploaded by Matthew Watkins.

When he went over to Johnson's still burning was on his mind.
Burning for his brother Jeb, burning it for Ma'.
More than anything burning it because he needed a drink.

Iphonography and the automobile
I am currently curating a photography show or "Iphonography" at the daddario.it showroom in Milan. The name of the event will be "Iphonography and the automobile". The event is designed to showcase the work of professional and amateur photographers that are pushing the frontiers of digital photography through the use of the iphone and it's apps. Although it is not the primary focus I am likely to include a smattering of Iphone fingerpainting and video associated with the automobile. It is scheduled to open for April 8th 2010, for three weeks.

If you would like to participate please add your work to

Thanks
