End Transmission

It is with not a shred of regret that I end The Hills, 98006 / newporthillz.tumblr.com.

I started this blog as a kind of identity training. A bit of therapy; perhaps I was going a bit out of body in the early months of 2014 after suffering a rather abrupt jar to the head in December 2013.

Auditory and visual hallucinations abound, I had shed over thirty pounds from my frame in a month. When the docs were like, “dude, you’re good,” I set myself on a course to know my self. 

Happy to report that in a coal creek, I became a kid again - William James and Oliver Sacks my rock-skipping companions. “The way in is through,” I’d say with persistence of a man I once met on a boat in the British Virgin Isles.

How could I have ever thought all this double vision (perhaps double talk is more appropriate here) would make a Dad twice over of me with the birth of twins, Zana and Arno - my little compound eyes.

Be headstrong but don’t die. Have a vision but have a life. Own up and be there. You’re not getting older, you’re getting younger.

-- Mike

More🔥📷 #airporttearsheets filing in 👴🏼👀 This one from friend and fellow 🔮🎨-photographer @ryanschude and his megapixel-packing #MotoX. #Schude recently used the smart phone to masterfully deliver a campaign featuring his own distinctive brand of tableau vivant photography for Motorola. Shot on location at Coney Island, it's a beautiful representation of Ryan's ability to capture a moment in camera. Check him out 🍼🍾 Cheers buddy!! (at Chicago Midway International Airport)
