I was drunk and took 15 photos of this boy. I don't even remember his name, but he was a "Southern Gentleman" and that's all I needed. That- and another g&t.
'Round these parts we call her "Proud Marie."

Back in my Washington Heights hovel, I thought I was Keith Harring.

M.S. making his mother proud that she paid for all that dental work.
In spite of the fact I look like Mary Hart on Botox, I think this photo really captures the feelings of its subjects (It should be noted that earlier in the evening I passed around a note saying "C-- has herpes. Pass it on.")
Seconds later, knives were drawn.
Why I don't ask, "Can I take your picture?"
While too drunk to be sure, we're pretty sure it's the beginning of a native dance.

And Angelino's wonder why I say their nightlife sucks. For the record, MONDAY night in NYC.
I'm like a young Fassbinder, really.
Contrary to the rumors, he doesn't have herpes.

Reason # 6 To Get Up Early in L.A.: Better chance of seeing bad weather. Yes, this overcast drizzle is considered "bad weather" in L.A.
A Ducky Day: Commercialism and crooked glasses make Japhy sad. Why won't anyone tell me my glasses are crooked?!?
A Ducky Day: I'm like, super-pensive all the time.
A Ducky Day: Some people think that being shot from above makes you look better. Proof that those people lie.
A Ducky Day: Look carefully and you can see my ass.
L.A. Public Library or Pretty Desktop Wallpaper: You decide.
A Ducky Day: Why hasn't anyone told me my glasses are crooked?

This self portrait was taken at Yale during Japhy's induction into the Skull & Bones Society. Some have said that looking at him here, it's possible to see that he knew someday he would be hunted down by the very organization that first brought him to prominence.

Two Housing Projects (2002, Digital C-Print, Size Various)
By 26, Japhy had spent the family fortune and taken up being a switchman for the B&0 Railroad. It was while sending Baltimore to Toledo that he came upon the novel idea of photographing static objects while traveling at high speeds. The above is one such work.

Self Portrait with Sunglasses and Mud (2003, Digital C-Print, 8"x10")
This epigraph proceeded Japhy Grant's 1899 manifesto If You Bitches Won't Love Me Then I Won't Love Me!: "All self-portraits are wish fufillments." This one appears to be no exception.

Reedy Creek Station or Overpriced Ashtray (2003, Digital Print, Size Various)
Japhy Grant was a man deeply troubled by the Russian Revolution. While this work seemingly reflects those concerns, they, in fact, do not.
