US Drunk Driving Rates (map)

Scroll over (link) the targets below to see the state’s ranking and fatality rate.

So.. I’m currently off on the West Coast (San Francisco/Oakland/LA) for a few weeks.. more photos to come, in the meantime here’s another interesting map I found today. Especially interesting to me since I deal with drunks way too often…

I have to say, I figured drinking levels would be higher in states they are supposedly low, such as Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, Alabama & Mississippi, but Wisconsin seems to be dead accurate..

I’m on Flickr! And a random map..

I’ve gone and done it. It seemed for a while there that everyone was a flickr member. I never much saw the point, but recently figured I’d give it a second chance. Well, it turns out that I actually enjoyed the service–especially the map option. It was just cool enough for me to fork down the twenty bucks or so they decide to charge you after you post a hundred or so shots and start to get used to the thing. Very clever on their end, for sure.

The reason I bring this up here is that, well, very often this blog falls into neglect and if you’re interested in following my photos closer, subscribing to my flickr stream would be a good option, as I’ve been pretty good about keeping it up to date with current work. Also, don’t forget about my other blog, everyoneisfamous.com, which is largely nightlife and music-based.

And while on the topic of maps… I’ve long been wanting to create a separate blog to simply post cool maps and graphs I find while browsing the internet. The last thing I need is another blog, so I figure I’ll just mix things up here a bit from time to time if I feel the urge. So on that note, a random map!

Much is made of the outlandish national debt levels here in the United States (~$11trillion currently), but most people don’t usually think of it as a % of GDP. When factoring in GDP, the US is in much better shape when compared to the rest of the world’s developed nations. The world really does run on debt/credit, which is what makes these questionable economic times that much more frightening.

Art Brut at Schubas

Art Brut played a week of sold-out shows here in Chicago (in addition to NY & LA). I caught them on Thursday June 11 and shot a few photos. It’s always hard shooting bands playing in venues with bad lighting/no flashes allowed, not to mention a full house and no photo pit. Alas, I think I got a few decent frames. After the show everyone headed upstairs, where the band played some songs on their iPod–which included songs from The Hold Steady and McLusky. Needless to say, it was rad. Here are my picks of the pics.

Photos From Inside North Korea

Probably the best set of photos from inside North Korea I have seen. Photojournalist Tomas Van Houtryve posed as a business man to gain greater-than-usual access to the largely secretive country. The video below are his shots via his blog & website. He was also interviewed by BBC about his journey.

If you’re interested in N Korea, check out this weblog from a couple of European tourists who managed to gain access to the country by train via Russia. It’s pretty interesting and also contains quite a few photos from inside the country.

Pacific Division

Did a little shoot for LA-based hiphop trio PacDiv the other week. I didn’t have nearly as much time as I’d like to figure out some cool shots. These were actually shot right in front of my apartment. Luckily, it was a really nice day. I did a few on one side of the street in the shade and a few on the other side in the harsh sunlight. I used an external flash with a small softbox for fill. Here are a few of my favorites.

motivational nudes

It’s been a while here.. this is the blog I tend to neglect most often and I’ve gone and done it again! There are some things I hope to eventually get up here, but in the mean time, here are some nudes! Haha.. they are not anything I shot, however, I recently had a little job shooting some interiors of a large warehouse/steel welding factory and they had these nice little pinup shots posted all over the place. For some reason, aside from the obvious ones, I thought it was pretty cool and made sure to get a few photos of them. Workplace nudes! Not bad…
