I got into this subject of having no subject because about a year ago I met some dude who wanted to put together a small book/zine of some of my photos. At the time I didn't have to many photos under my belt that I'd wanted to attach my name to as well as bind in a book, but this dude was like "you've really got a great eye.. blah, blah, blah-you just have to shoot more and we'll put a little book together!" I thought that was a cool idea and at the time I was about to go on tour with my boy Michael Runion as his guitar player. So the book guy called me up after I said that it was a cool idea and he suggested I do a series on guitars. In the nicest way possible I said "fuck that, I don't want to take photos of guitars". That sounded so boring I questioned wanting to work with him. So I just said "I'm going on tour across America.. I'll take photos of America and once I get home I'll take some photos of women." He didn't care what I took photos of and the idea of tits and ass was a lot better then guitars. Once I got home and I had a few photo shoots I had this collection of nudes, old signage, musicians, my parents, strangers.. I just never put down my camera and it seemed as though I was just making a yearbook with no end in sight and that's what I'm doing. I'm just taking photos.
