OVERDRIVE


it's 11 o'clock.  do you know 
where your children are?




O V E R D R I V E
volume up














it's the overdrive
that comes with the red lines
my baby hit the mainline

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH
the story behind overdrive


it fascinates me how we're drawn to other
that animal attraction
the scent of each other's short-comings
in passing ... that familiar return
injecting our heritage
yet again

calling it home
for a year

it was in a thought about ecstasy 
and what that might look like
that inspired me to go here

to capture a short glimpse of my youth
getting close but no cigar
a blast regardless

AURORA BOREALIS


she was there, sitting right there
in the back seat, then there was the accident
and she was gone - they were gone

I was supposed to be somewhere
I just can't remember where
I can't remember things
anymore



optimized for night vision

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH
the story behind aurora borealis


fading faces - in the lights
eyes wide open at 4am
ok, let's do this


mothers & daughters - fathers and sons
having been separated
a return through the lights

spearmint lake - it was there


that I sat under the aurora in aug/92 - no roads to this place
northern ontario, out in the bush, open lake/high up
and this is what came of it
a reminder

like coming home 
to an old friend 




A U O R A  B O R E A L I S

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH
the story behind casual shopper



nothing special here
no hidden messages or underlying folly
ok maybe a little

just coming across a youtube clip
a short segment from the movie "Career Opportunities"
a 1991 John Hughes comedy/drama that fizzled upon landing
attracted to her in that moment
not sure why

OK, maybe because ... OMFG!

thought I'd add music/voices

because it's beautiful to look at
having fun w/the pictures
feel like I'm 15 again

guilty pleasure
