| Hi! Thanks for visiting. I'm an American photographer living in Buenos Aires. These are photos from the blog I kept on my site from 2003 to 2009. I now have redesigned the home page to just show a portfolio of my current work. I also blog at BuenosAiresPhotographer.com where I post my baires snapshots. |

Thomas Kinkade & MySpace The LA Times published a negative piece on 'Painter of Light', Thomas Kinkade highlighting his boozing, boorishness, and rapacity towards his gallery owners. With gleeful schadenfreude this artice has been flung around the blogosphere. Felix Salmon in particular dissects the economic greed hangover at the heart of the franchisee's gripes. At the same time and completely unrelated, a number of old-school bloggers have been expressing their bewilderment at the rise of MySpace, pointing to it's crushing ubiquity inspite of it's horrible, geocities-era, anything-goes design. It's probably only coincidence but I can't helping thinking these two memes are connected somehow. In the spirit of the moment, I've customized my own MySpace profile with a Kinkade background. Update:I could never be a professional blogger because I can't write snarky paragraphs like this: Thomas Kinkaide, the painter of mega-kitschy religiously themed and militantly bourgeois schlock, tchotchkes and knickknacks bearing his imprimatur, may be a freakin’ dirty bastard.from Consumerist. |

 | Hi. I'm a 33 year-old American currently living in Buenos Aires. Before that I lived in California, Sao Paulo and New York and if you browse through the archives below you can see photos of all those places. Currently I'm posting most of my pictures on BuenosAiresPhotographer.com. I also have an old geocities page with some outdated information but also more photos of Buenos Aires, friends and my 9/11 pictures. |
