looking back at older work #11
Lincoln, Nebraska, Feb. 14 2004
I took this on Valentine’s day in Nick’s old apartment in Lincoln back in 2004. I think it was late at night- Maybe even early the 15th. But maybe not. I don’t know.
Nobu has a baseball bat and wooden sword in his hands, while Tsubasa on the couch has a beer and a Desert Eagle. But this was Lincoln and not Tulsa so even if there is indeed a large Israeli-made combat handgun in the picture, nothing came of it. In reality the gun was just passed from person to person with the trigger lock done tight.
Maybe the picture implies a different story or makes people want to make some dumb and over-general comment about the state of young people.
In the end it is just a photograph.
Oh man, I miss that gun! I didn’t get a chance to go out shooting when we went home over Christmas.

man. nice shot of my lower torso there, between nobu and tsubasa. as i recall, nobu was his usually frustrated self, and had been gravitating towards the baseball bats in a way that reminded me an awful lot of battle royale. but we all know nobu is crazy anyway. 2004 was a great year. i remember alot of cold nights huddled in nick’s apartment, drinking beer, with everyone there wishing they were in japan…
いいおもいででした。
