It is impossible to take a bad picture of her! Just try, you can’t – even inadverdantly.
is that he sometimes makes his Podcasts while inebriated. Yes, shocking!!!
He was once kidnapped by drunken dwellers in the Utah desert, but luckily escaped. . .
We bumped into each other at Chris and Ponzi’s fabulous 2005 Gnomedex event in Seattle. We talked about all sorts of things and hit it off pretty well. Then he wandered off and got caught in the whirlwind known as kk+.
Later on, we had a great time hanging out in a diner/bar in Olympia.
KK is dangerously more “me” than me sometimes in that he is busting out the kind of multi-disciplinary projects that i love to do … but at a breakneck speed with unmatched fervor and enthusism.
His skills in photography find balance betwixt technical craftsmanship and an aesthetic sense that the Japanese might call “wabi-sabi” – a sort of honoring of the stark and the melancoly, a celebration of the roughness and reality of life and its effects on we humans and our surrounding. Think of patina on a copper roof, or a chip in a teacup, or a flashing grin from an otherwise digruntled or downtrodden person. His ability to engage his subjects in such a spontaneous atmosphere is testament his personality, which is as important as his understanding of technique, in the creation of such compelling images.
In other words, he make everyone look cool in his pics!!!
