Paparazzi never sleeps, even if mourning.

See the struttin' blondie derelict in the middle. Yep, that's ms. CHLOE SEVIGNY.
Stood next to her at 2nd Ave and Houston for 3 min. She looked tired and rugged. Frog eyes. Glowing and hariy blonde arms. I waited for her to drift away in an effort to afford you this more "cinematic" type shot. Never a dull moment for my camera (i.e. cellphone).

A few 'memorial' images

Jackson 'autopsy report' leaked
June 29, 2009 - 1:12PM

Michael Jackson was emaciated, bald and riddled with needle wounds when he died, a leaked autopsy reportedly reveals.
A post mortem examination done on Jackson following his death last week found the 1.78-metre tall pop superstar weighed just 51 kilograms, Britain's The Sun newspaper reported.
The 50-year-old's stomach was reportedly empty except for some partially-dissolved pills and his hips, thighs and shoulders were pockmarked with needle wounds - believed to be the legacy of injected narcotic painkillers.
Jackson was also almost completely bald, with just a covering of "peach fuzz" left on his scalp, the pathologist noted in the alleged report. He died wearing a wig.
The report stated Jackson several broken ribs caused by rescuers pumping his chest to try to resuscitate him after he went into cardiac arrest.
Four injection marks on his chest revealed attempts to pump adrenaline directly into his heart, The Sun reported.
The description of the dead star came as his former in-house doctor, Conrad Murray, denied having injected Jackson with a powerful painkiller before his death.
"There was no Demerol. No OxyContin," Dr Murray's lawyer, Edward Chernoff, told the Los Angeles Times newspaper.
"He checked for a pulse. There was a weak pulse in his femoral artery. He started administering CPR."
Mr Chernoff said his client was stunned by Jackson's death.

"He was the one who suggested the autopsy to the family while they were still in the hospital. He didn't understand why Michael Jackson had died," he said.

NEW YORK (AP) — Hundreds of Michael Jackson fans circled the block around Harlem's famed Apollo Theater Tuesday for a public tribute to the pop star, some spontaneously singing their favorite songs and dancing in the street.
"I thought that in my time I'd have the opportunity to see him in concert," said Victoria Campomames, who did a brief moonwalk on the sidewalk as "Rock With You" played from a nearby store. "This is about the closest I'm gonna get."
Campomames, wearing a Jackson-style spangled black jacket, fedora and white gloves, took the day off from her job at a grocery store in Morrisville, Vt., for the all-day tribute to Jackson at the fabled venue that helped make him a star.
Thousands were expected to pay their respects at the theater, which planned to let them in 600 at a time to listen to his music, watch a video tribute and leave flowers and memorabilia.
Ebony Johnson, 19, arrived at midnight to secure a spot near the front of the line, clutching a Jackson scrapbook she started when she was 14. An image of the star was tattooed on her left arm. She said she got the tattoo last month in anticipation of his planned comeback shows in London.
"I love him so much — I can't explain that in words," she said. "I felt like Michael was my family."
Fans wrote messages on a wall of remembrance outside the 125th street theater. "God bless and be with you M. Jackson," wrote one fan. "We all share your grief. Love always," read a message to his family.
Fans began converging on the Apollo soon after Jackson died Thursday in Los Angeles. It has continued to serve as an impromptu memorial site in the days since.
The pop icon's ties to the theater go back to 1967, when The Jackson 5 won the Apollo's Amateur Night contest. The appearance is credited with helping to launch the brother act's career, which later propelled Jackson to solo stardom.

Feeling Guilty anyone?

I just got back from the Apollo memorial.

Will post visual memories later this week.

akajoey film SCREENING at WHITE COLUMNS

CAMERA OBSCURA rocked!

SWIRLING psychedelic imagery, layered over two adorable girly women decked out in cheap thrift shop dresses. joey wanted to borrow their wardrobe but couldn't (his arm could not reach the stage). The percussionist was the Energizer bunny, hopping around, and invading others peoples spaces(i.e. pounded on the cymbals of da drummer, while da drummer pounded on his drums). the keyboardest was in a GOOD MOOD (that means that she smiled) tapping away at childrens toys for new joyous sounds over the thumping heavy/hidden bass lines. the singer was incredibly MOODY (that means that she didn't smile) and the PERFECT STARLET.

Her voice was better than on their 3 albums (and of course i loved the scottish accent), and she did not LIE to me when she complained to me on my cellphone that the backstage area was disgusting and her mood would reflect that long desperate wait to breathe the hall's "fresh air". She did like her hotel stay, they put a toy guitar on the rug for her. Get the new album.

Ummm, i didn't tell ya to download (for FREE...duh).

THAT SAID, do what ya gotta do.

and By ANY MEANS NECESSARY.

As any true activist would say after tossing paint on a coat - DIRECT ACTION !!!!

Batman star has Garage Sale due to economy

Yes, it is terribly depressing, but I have just learned that ADAM WEST has had to have a garage sale just to pay for food money. I tried to call him and see if we could work together in a new film project but he refused because I would not supply catering service food ! horrible situation for him due to the fallen economy crisis.

Here a link to video captured at his Garage Sale he held at the actual batcave location...

aka photojournalist ME xoxoxoxoxoxo

My Friend, the blind photographer.

Carleton E. Watkins was a noted 19th century California photographer and a good friend of ME.

Carleton Emmons Watkins was born in upstate New York. He went to San Francisco during the gold rush, arriving in 1851. He traveled to California with filmmaker akajoey (ME), who later became one of the greatest filmakers of all mankind, which helped Watkins later in his career.

His interest in photography started as an aide in a San Francisco portrait studio, and started taking photographs of his own and especially of ME in 1861. He became interested in ME and in landscape photography and soon started making photographs of ME, California mining scenes, and of Yosemite Valley.

Watkins practised field photography until his eyesight failed in 1892. In the great earthquake of 1906, fire consumed his studio and its contents. It was a terrible experience for the both of us.

He experimented with several new photographic techniques, and eventually favored his "Mammoth Camera," which used large glass plate negatives, and a stereographic camera. He became famous for his admiration of ME, and also created a variety of images of California and Oregon in the 1870s and later.

Basically, He liked taking pictures of ME.

The bottome line is, CAN YA BLAME HIM???

love, me. bye.

Wishing, Fishing and Dreaming.

This is a "feeling sorry for myself" Blog.
I found this image on the internet and thought to myself, WHY CAN'T I DO THIS !
HOW COME EVERYTIME I TRY TO MAKE SOMETHING LIKE THAT IT TASTES LIKE WOOD, FEELS LIKE WOOD, AND THERE ARE NO LEMONS OR LIMES AROUND?

I have decided to print this picture out, scotch tape it on the wall, stare at it routinely, look for a store that sells that nice HIGH CLASS knife (hopefully TARGET), and meditate on the possibilities that Yes ME, maybe you (ME again) can cook something that looks that nice after all.

Again. It will take time YOU know (you meaning ME). But all good things come to those who wait. I mean, look at the fish. it's DEAD.

ta ta for now.
love,
fisherman the uncookable. ME xo

Inspired by garbage picking cardboard creativity !

Photographer Miroslav Tichy, a Czech photographer:

Tichy made homemade cameras, fashioned from cardboard tubing, string, and thread spools.

Of the apparent quality of his photography Tichy says:
Photography is painting with light! The blurs, the spots, those are errors! But the errors are part of it, they give it poetry and turn it into painting. And for that you need as bad a camera as possible! If you want to be famous, you have to do whatever you're doing worse than anyone else in the whole world.

Ummm, GOD BLESS TICHY

WHY WAS THIS THING (LECTURE) IMPORTANT ???

It was a forced effort (as every effort seems to be these days, for me).

RELEVANT POINT-
-I drove my toyota corolla 30 minutes downtown to attend this damn lecture, and accidentally parked my car wrong and got it impounded. $185 to get it back. NO LIE.

His work appears “staged”. “planned”. There is nothing remotely “unique” about any of these photographs, these pictures, except that the people in them are foreign to me. I didn’t know who they were (until now, at least). The pictures were color portrait images of the artist's parents during the stages that led to their divorce. They divorced in the late stages of their life. The divorce led to attempted suicides, accidents, and permanent HATE for one another.

I (meaning me) raised his (my) hand in the crowded audience and asked the artist a question during the Q and A session:

“Do you feel that you are walking a dangerous tightrope since you are exploring such confessional subject matter”? “I kept hearing echoes of Sylvia Plath’s poem, DADDY, when you presented your photowork, and explained your “process” of documenting your actual parents as they crumbled apart”.

DOUG DUBOIS (the acclaimed photographer that this Blog refers to) swayed/avoided answering my question (obviously affected), but maintained direct eye contact with me. He pretended to answer my question by defending his artistic subject-matter with humor by explaining to the audience that his sister, brother and his nephew all understood what he was doing by taking these pictures.

I had to ask him again, this time more emphatically…

“THAT WAS NOT MY QUESTION”. Again (and politely) I went:
“My question to you was, DO YOU, THE ARTIST, FEEL THAT YOU ARE ENTERING INTOA DANGEROUS PLACE FOR YOURSELF EMOTIONALLY BY DEALING WITH SUCH PERSONAL AND DEVASTATING MATERIAL? MATERIAL THAT YOU USE A CONFESSIONAL AESTHETIC? AND DO YOU DISCOURAGE OTHER ARTISTS TO GO IN THIS TYPE OF A DIRECTION”?

He answered carefully, and contemplating direct eye contact with me, “YES”.
