Not writing much about music ever, but felt compelled to share new music from SFs Painted Palms. I checked up on Butterfly Bones, a band that I enjoyed around SF, and found out that they have evolved into Painted Palms. Looks like they recently got some love from Kevin Barnes and just released a new EP out on Polyvinyl records. Their song "Click", which I dig a ton, is streaming at consequence of sound. Side note, if you ever visted me when I lived in SF, the EP album cover is a photo of my old back yard. It's a crazy small world. –Tim
Craig Rodgers has a solo BFA printmaking exhibition this wednesday, April 20th at CCA college avenue galleries, Oakland – Which looks pretty cool based on this printed postcard that I found at Oaklands', Pepples Donuts.
A short clip of Why? performing January Twenty Something at the New Parish in Oakland - 3/5/13. On a technical note, I needed a digital camera for everyday stuff and ended up with a fujifilm x-f1 point and shoot. So far I am happy with my purchase. I like the images that it makes, and am also pretty impressed that it can take video in such lowlight conditions. —Tim
Happy to announce the release of PANACEA, a collaborative photography book, published by BIT BY ZEUS and Ladder to the Stars. The book features photos from 37 photographers and will be released Feb 1st 2013 @ Mua Oakland. PANACEA is printed color offset, 8.5″ x 11″ and will be limited to 100 copies. In addition, there will also be photo show hanging at MUA, featuring the photographers from the book. It'll be first friday: Oakland Art Murmur; Check out the art downtown, come say hi, grab a drink (and a book) and check out the show.
—Over the last year, I've been working with Elias Carlson, who runs awesome blog, Ladder to the Stars. Early on, we found that exploring nature was a common thread in our photography. We discussed our need to get outside and take photos, and we decided to make a publication about it.
We knew that we wanted to publish a collaborative book featuring photographers that we both respected and that shared this common theme. We worked on the idea of the "need" to get outdoors and found a definition that we felt summed up this idea; "PANACEA" which is defined as "a solution or remedy for all difficulties or diseases." The ring to it was nice, but the definition really hit home for us, as it summed up the feeling that we both had: Exploring nature as a cure.

—Also, want to say thank you to anyone who visits, supports, or submits to BIT BY ZEUS. for real. Running this photo zine/blog is a blast; sharing good photos, putting out projects when we can, and meeting great photographers along the way. In the New Year, we plan on keeping this little photo community going. I want to continue to put up more found photography, try to blog (use words), document events and things in the area, and also focus on publishing my and other's work. That's all, hope to see you on the 1st, It's gonna be a great night out.—Tim
The First annual Little Big Draw is happening this wednesday at MUA in Oakland. Little Big Draw is a live art event in the same vein as sketch Tuesdays; watch some live art, hang out, and take home some affordable artwork. A few friends and I will have some photos in the art show coinciding with this event. Swing by! —Tim

Even though I enjoyed using these cameras a lot, they're just tools, things can be replaced. I'd just really like these guys to get theres. Also, I'm keeping the Men's socks and cheetos that they left behind. Thanks, Tim.
