integratron birthday party

Happy birthday, Alexis and Sonya.

(The Integratron is ” is an acoustically perfect tabernacle and energy machine sited on a powerful geomagnetic vortex in the magical Mojave Desert.

“The location of the Integratron is an essential part of its functioning. Its placement was chosen based on a complex set of theories involving the earth’s magnetic field and the Integratron’s relationship to the Great Pyramid in Egypt and Giant Rock, the world’s largest freestanding boulder. In 1947, Van Tassel began operating the Giant Rock Airport three miles away from the Integratron, and in 1953 initiated communications with extra-terrestrials after a physical encounter at Giant Rock. He subsequently hosted 17 Spacecraft Conventions there for UFO enthusiasts.

“According to Van Tassel, the Integratron is located on an intersection of powerful geomagnetic forces that, when focused by the unique geometry of the building, will concentrate and amplify the energy required for rejuvenation and healing. In 2005, a geophysicist measured the earth’s magnetic field for up to 15 miles in every direction from the Integratron and then inside the dome. She proclaimed that there is a significant, unexplainable spike in the earth’s magnetic field in the center of the Integratron.

“Today, visitors from a wide variety of disciplines are drawn to experience the Integratron’s enhanced energy fields. They agree that an overnight at the Integratron is equivalent to a relaxing vacation and that a Sound Bath results in waves of peace, heightened awareness, and relaxation of the mind and body.”)

fool’s gold and thee make-out party at three clubs

Why do I always like the pictures better when they’re just snapshots from some night in some bar and I only had my camera because I’d been shooting something earlier?

i shoot babies

They pull better faces than grown ups, they don’t get self conscious, and they don’t try to look cool.

I need to shoot more kids.

the conga room has fancy ceilings

The Conga Room reopened downtown in a new, fancy spot.

It’s co-owned by Jennifer Lopez and Will.I.Am, but the food’s still good.
