If you're ever in need of a good laugh and an update on what's going on in the big world of science visit my buddy tom's blog, Science and Anger,here. It's full of strange and interesting tales from all over. Hilarious and informative.

I went on a ride this morning with some friends in the industrial area of northwest portland:

Photographing reflections has been an on-going, and probably will continue to be a life long, project of mine. I shot some of these while walking around the city shooting photographs with Colin (check out his website at http://www.distortedperspective.com) and the others while on a bike ride after a long rainy weekend. The city was full of standing water.

I have some photos and a little write-up about Rose City Fix in the new Urban Velo. I'm excited, as you could imagine. Even though it's rad to have my photos in this magazine, I'm just as stoked to see good friends of mine and Portland represented. You can download a copy for free here. Urban Velo has been so rad to work with. Can't thank them enough.



Also, here is my bike, in all it's glory.

This weekend Aaron's new band, Brothers of the Sonic Cloth, played their first show with Aaron on drums at Ash Street in Portland with Yob and Iommi Stubbs. They were great: long and slow songs with heavy riffs. As my friend Tom put it "this is perfect music for dirty people to nod their heads to." Someone needs to sign them and put out a record as soon as possible. This band should be huge.

This was a great weekend seeing old friends, meeting new ones, and having my ear drums blown out by music so loud it's actually kind of silly.
