I spent some time today looking through old photos because I am upgrading my portfolio, and adding allot more stuff. I ran across there panoramas that I shot when I went to Everest Base Camp the first time in 2006.

I was so busy this week reading actual books and the actual newspaper that I didn’t have much time to collect many articles.

I am reading three books right now, two autobiographies and one work of fiction. I started rereading E. Stanley Jones’ Song of Ascents a few weeks ago, and have been making my way through it slowly. I heard about Stanley Jones a year before my first trip to India. A friend thought that it was so important that I read Christ of the Indian Road by Jones that we went to Kinko’s and spent about $60 photocopying the book when he heard that I was considering going to India (we thought it was out of print). Jones quickly became one of my favorite authors. I find myself going back to Christ of the Indian Road while reading Song of Ascents.

In addition to Song of Ascents, I have been working through Miles Davis’ autobiography Miles. Reading Mile’s own words about how he heard music, how he thought about it has been an amazing journey for me.

When I need a break from those I take pulls from The Brothers Karamazov,which I last read in winter of 2006.

When I am not busy starting books that will take me nine months to finish, this is what I have been reading:

• The Cure for Content-Delay Syndrome – A List Apart
• Trash of the Month – Central District News (this is why I love my neighborhood)
• Turbonegro Guitarist Won’t Let Hodgkin’s Stop The Rock – Idolator
• Tibetan Monks Sealed in Sichuan Monastery Request Permission to Pray for Chinese Quake Victims – Tibet Will Be Free
• Miller, Busch Beers Place Hunters in the Crosshair – Brandweek
• 25 resources for ornaments, fleurons, and “frilly bits” – Cameron Moll
• King Khan :: The Supreme Genius of… – Aquarium Drunkard
• Dennis Wilson :: At Long Last…Bambu – Aquarium Drunkard
• The Replacements :: The Reissues (2008) – Aquarium Drunkard
• GMB Akash Documentary Photographer – Verve Photo (my new favorite site)
