And Photography in General
I have not been producing much photography in the past two months. This morning at breakfast, I felt a pang of guilt when I laid eyes at the camera sitting on my table.
So, I wrote it a letter.

Video from The Harsh Desert Exhibition
My friend Stacy Wiedmaier recorded this video of The Harsh Desert’s opening gala. It is quite amusing listening to their conversation regarding which pieces are popular with what demographic.

Photographs from Mojave Viper
For most of the month of July, I will be conducting training with my unit. It is going to be miserable, hot, and exhausting. I am not looking forward to it at all. Ever had to lug around a flak jacket with SAPI plates around? It is not fun, especially in 120 degrees heat.

A Memorial Day Weekend
I got word from Benjamin that him and a couple of other guys I served with in Iraq are heading to Nevada to spend the Memorial Day weekend drinking, partying, and hitting on drunk girls. The destination was Lake Lahontan and we were not going to pass up this opportunity to spend some time together. Of the four of us, I was the only one still serving in the Marine Corps. Michael, Jesse, and Benjamin have been out for almost a year now, with Benjamin enjoying his new career in the Army.

Mostly Photographs of Marines Doing Nothing
My unit conducted some training earlier this week, though my section was only there for less than forty-eight hours. For the most part, there was a lot of downtime as were really the ones conducting the training, not the ones being trained. The weather was a lot gentler than I expected it to be, though the added humidity was rather surprising.

Photographs from California and Japan
I had been extremely busy doing other things besides doing photography. I have been taking photographs, just not doing anything to them. I had a lot of things, obligations of sorts: there were the military intelligence classes I was taking, my solo exhibition, selling art, and my unit’s preparations for our upcoming deployment to Afghanistan (which may or may not happen; no one knows). I am usually so exhausted by the end of the day, I am not interested in doing anything creative.
The training tempo for the past three weeks has slowed down quite a bit. So much so that I was able to find time to build this website from scratch on a different blogging platform than what I am used to. Now that it is done, I can do photography now.
