1:57:20 PM: For the past 35 years barber John Grande has received his clean towels packaged in a single string from the launders. Every week he has wound that string into a ball. It is a testament of time. Grande is closing shop in June and retiring. This is part of an off-beat portrait series I just started. (Thanks to colleague Tracy Deer for introducing me to Grande and his ball of string.)May 11, 2007

I photographed the Bridgeport Bluefish again. The Bluefish are part of the Atlantic League, an independent baseball league not affiliated with any Major League ball club. The stadium has a great atmosphere with some unique characteristics. Above the outfield wall, the Metro North railroad line runs. Behind that lies the Long Island Sound. And beyond Right Field lies a power plant. During a game, passenger trains and ferry boats will pass by and blow their horns. The power plant just sits there and blows out smog. Who needs the Green Monster?

This is the crowd I run with. We're all about facial scars, drinking Schaeffer's Beer, and arm wrestling girls.

Alex, an old college buddy and aspiring photographer, joined me on a self-guided tour of an 18th century factory in Seymour, CT today. We got permission to shoot in this old factory, but sadly enough I really didn't get to shoot much. Minutes after I took this, I fell through a weak spot of the floor. I nearly went right through, but caught myself just in time. I split my chin open, which required four stitches. I'm fine now and ready to get back into that place sometime next week. The light is incredible and pours in from skylights, tall windows, and apparently holes from the second floor thanks to my unfortunate handy work. I half-heartedly hope that my chin scars because I feel that I'm lacking in the facial scar department. The chicken pox scar on my right cheek doesn't exactly qualify for interesting battle scar conversation.
