Not sure if it's serendipity or planning, but this post plays well with the FPP below it.

Twas purely accidental. They certainly do represent pretty distant ends of the same world though!

I meant that they worked as sort of call and response.
Three Question Marks: the photo/story/painting blog of artist "merkley???"
Answer: Apparently, some pretty damn cool art.
Guess I should have said as much in my post.
At first I was kind of meh on the photos, but even though they're posed, there is a weird candidness to them. Also the coloring and lighting gives them an almost HDR feel. The more I look at them the more captivating and compelling they are.

I've gone through this guy's photostream before, and I thought it was interesting. Unfortunately, our local newsweekly plastered this on their cover a few weeks ago, and I hated it.

I used to live with Merkley in Provo. He was my roommate for a couple of years. Insanely talented and insane. He managed my band, Swim Herschel Swim. He was best at promotion. Not so good with the $$$. :-). I've said as much to his face, so this isn't meant as a dig.
flickr stream definitely worth checking out.
Ironically, he was more Mormon than I was in 1989 and then he swung hard the other way around the same time I did. So happy to see him sharing his talent with the world. I was always angry he didn't do more with his multitude of skills.

One of my first Flickr 'contacts' so I could keep up with what he was doing. I really like his stuff. He just recently started posting again. 'Doods' this time. I wanted to buy his book but couldn't afford it.

One of my favorite flickr streams for as long as I can remember.
