greetings friends, it’s been a while since my last edition of “Jobs I have had”. in the last one I talked about my repeating summer job of serving ice cream at the Folklife/Bumbershoot Festivals in Seattle. I continued working at Safeway up until nearly the time...
hey friends, back in April, my sister Teal visited Los Angeles and we had the opportunity to take a little day trip out to the Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve. as you may know from the news, or my previous blog on Anza Borrego, this was a...
hey friends, I've added a couple new "Making Of" blogs to Found in Kitsap's website. check out: Part 3: Early Mistakes & Lasting Lessons and Part 4: An Obsession With Collection -Luke...
hey friends, a sad post today. a few weeks ago, our beloved neighborhood cat, Johnny passed away. he'd been struggling with a thyroid condition for the last year and it just proved to be too much. technically, he was my neighbor Styles' cat...
howdy friends! a couple weeks ago I had the good fortune to take a trip to the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park with my good friend Angel. we left Los Angeles at O'Dark Thirty and drove the 150-ish miles to the desert, getting there about an hour...
hey friends! I wanted to let you all know that I'm writing another blog! it's for one of my favorite video games, Destiny. my goal with the blog is to both promote a game I enjoy and let other players in on my personal experience. what...
hey there friends, well, it's taken me a bit longer than I'd have liked, but I've gone through my photos from last year and selected my favorites. it's kind of a big group this year, just over 150...
hey friends, quick post today, I wanted to let you all know that the hardcover version of "Found in Kitsap" is now available. these books are a bit more expensive than the digital versions, but I'd like to think worth the added expense. there is just...
hello friends! it’s time again for my yearly “Top 10” blog where I talk about a few of things that stood out to me the most. like in 2015, this isn't exactly a “best" blog, but more of a “most memorable.” 2016 was a rough year for a...
hey friends, a while back I stumbled upon the new Mickey Mouse short series. they are insanely cute, very well done short cartoons. I highly recommend watching them. this one has a snowboarding yeti in it...
hey friends, next up in the ongoing series of “jobs I’ve had” may have been my first food service experience...
Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a great holiday season filled with family, food, and festivities. I had a nice trip back to the Pacific Northwest which included an interview with the Kitsap Sun. this was because my found photo book, "Found in Kitsap" has...
since the dawn of storytelling people have been adapting, transforming, borrowing, and repurposing tales into new forms. sometimes this adds life to a story, other times the new work is a poor reflection of what came before. so what makes a successful adaptation? there are...
hey friends, it's been a great festival season for TIME TO EAT! we've been screening in festivals all over the USA and well, the world actually. here's a nice collection of the laurels we've received so far. -Luke ...
howdy friends, over the past few months I’ve been working on improving different skills. I’ve been practicing French, drawing, and swimming. I’ve also been watching a show which all though I count it as a huge creative influence, I’m not sure how many of the episodes...
friends! I know in the fast pace world of think pieces, inta-memes, and snap-googles writing about an event from (gasp) months ago seems almost prosaic. BUT, I’m not going to let that get in the way of me writing about the Rio Olympics! as some of...
howdy hi there friends! a while back someone in my lovely family (can't remember if it was Mom & Dad or Teal) got me the official "Making of" book for RETURN OF THE JEDI. I'd already read the two previous books so was familiar with the...
howdy hi, things have been heating up with my short TIME TO EAT recently - quite a few new festival announcements have been coming in. look forward to sharing that news with y'all soon. in the meantime, I'm super stoked to be able to present "Behind The...
howdy friends, well, I’ve pretty much recovered from my trip to the UK and France in August. I will (hopefully) have some great photos to share with you soon. that’s always the trick with shooting 35mm… you don’t really know how they’ll turn out exactly. like,...
howdy friends! apologies for slacking on the blogging recently, I do plan on getting back into it with a more regular clip soon. earlier this week I was going some hard drive cleanup and I stumbled upon an animatic I'd made back in 2007. I'd completely forgotten...
