Can you tell I miss you?

Beautiful photograph by my friend Kit Crenshaw

I know it’s so two weeks ago, ancient history in the blog world, but I’ve been hoarding off these photos from the free YACHT show that took place outside City Hall, in downtown Portland since I shot them. Originally, I was just gonna let it go but yesterday I was listening to See Mystery Lights [...]

Saturday night I had to say goodbye to one of my best friends in the whole world, Portland Oregon. I am opening a new chapter in the Book of Sloan with a valiant move around the world to New Zealand. I am thrilled to keep the adventure rolling but I just want to say, Portland, [...]

Another more successful attempt at the stereogif technique. This series of photos was taken at Powell Butte yesterday afternoon. I didn’t use a tripod or anything for this one and I think it shows.

Recently I completed what has immediately become the best trip of my life. It was a road trip on paper but felt like so much more in my brain and in my chest. Traveling with two of the finest individuals this world has ever known, together we saw the sights, grew immensely as humans, and [...]

We finally organized it. It’s happening. My good friend Joe (Skip Roxy) and I put this show together to scrape together some change in an effort to get me some dollars back for my stolen computer. I am super grateful that all these awesome bands are willing to throw down for me. I am one [...]
