update
These are my first self-portraits as far as I'm aware. I was feeling emo after work, so I decided to stage my own death on camera. The fetal position didn't translate very well in my photos, so this is what I did instead. There are little discrepancies between them that I'm not a huge fan of, but it's taken me almost an hour to get to this point and it's 4 in the morning.
Title: Bands Of Light
Why are the lights not perfect strings, but rather dots in a sting? Is it because the light's own brightness oscillates, or because my camera sensor takes in information in bursts?
Here's my theory:
There's a single faint red line near right-center that's a perfect sting, so that makes me think it might just be that the other lights actually flash a minuscule amount. Also, each type light has a different amount of beads in its sting possibly suggesting that each has a unique period of oscillation (although you might notice that the two prominent red dotted streaks are both stoplights, and they each have the same amount of beads in their strings. It would make sense that two of the same kind of lights would flash with the same period). This is a half-second exposure, and each of the lights was in view for only a portion of that, so these must be really short periods which would make the most sense since your eye cannot directly see these flashes.
I think I just answered my own question.

I did some more yelling at work today. I cussed out one of the bartenders rather publicly in front of all of his customers and some of our coworkers. He deserved to be told off, but did I need to yell at him?
This is getting out of hand. I'm getting angrier at work with every passing day. I realized that something was wrong about a week ago when I yelled at one of my best friends there with little instigation. I promised myself that I would stop getting so angry after that happened, but it looks like I broke my own promise pretty quickly.

I like the b&w. I totally thought the middle picture was Dust.
As far as work goes, I would say the time has come to move on. Been there done that.
I thought the same thing as dad. I thought the middle picture was of McNoFriends.
Yeah, dude. Those b&w pics are freakin awesome. Can I peruse your pictures so I can have some Michael Kohn originals hanging up at my place ? And I'll actually hang them up, not leave them framed sitting on the floor like some people I know....
Just want to say that I love you...
These are amazing pictures. Where can I buy them?
i like those monochromatics !

Sorry you've had some bad days. I guess you've outgrown work there. Cool photos. I love you!
I love the pic of you against the wall with only your ear and jaw in the light. They're all beautiful though. I would like the top one even more if you were barefoot in it, which looks awesome in the 3rd. The second silhouette is really great. I just love your stuff man.
I think you know the answer to your own question too. And I don't mean about the lights.
Your subconscious is telling you something, but it's only means of communicating right now are via emotions. Pay attention to your dreams if you can. And like I said, you know it's time. Just follow your gut, it's telling you the truth.
I love you too Man.
