Primrose Hill
Living on the side
Of Primrose HillDrinking cans of Tennants
Just can’t seem to get my fillGot a beat up guitar
And a dirty old sleeping bagAnd this mangy dog
Whose tail don’t wagSun’s been shining down
On my hillside bedThat’s not the only reason
My face is so redThis nasty cut on my nose
Is not from no fightI just fell down yesterday
Or maybe it was last nightAnd I used to sing and play
Down in the undergroundBut a few years back
They started cracking downNow I’m living on the side
Of Primrose HillI’m no tourist attraction
But I give them a thrillYeah I see you
Riding by on your flash bicycle
Yeah they can do you for that on Primrose HillA pretty young mother goes by
She’s pushing her pramHer little baby leans out
Just to see what I amFrom the top of the hill
There’s a hell of a view
Houses of Parliament and London ZooThose politicians all chatter
They trumpet and roarThat must be what those hyenas all
Are laughing forWhen you come up to London
It sure is something to seeIt’s somewhere to go
But it’s no place to beAnd there’s two things
Keeping me from going ‘round the bendI got my music
And this dog for a friend‘Cause life gets slippery
When you’re living on the sideYeah I know I should quit drinking
But I haven’t even triedMy mutt’s licking my fingers
And I’m wetting my lipsI got a can of extra strong
And a bag of chicken and chipsIf I had a little money
I’d get a few thingsLike a bottle of vodka
And a pack of new guitar stringsI guess I could die here
On the side of this hillI’m no tourist attraction
But I’d give them a chillAnd I’m living on the side
Of Primrose HillDrinking cans of Tennants
Just can’t seem to get my fillGot a beat up guitar
And dirty old sleeping bagThis mangy dog
Whose tail won’t wag- Loudon Wainwright III

The second volume of my comic Stranger Two Stranger was reviewed by Justin Giampaoli at the Poopsheet Foundation. Here’s a snippet:
I was pleased to see Hendricks use heavier paper stock for a better designed cover, and a couple of pull quotes on the back, upping his game with nice small moves. It’s refreshing to see someone just get it, with discernible actions toward improvement…some of these are so odd that you just can’t make this stuff up. For some reason, I enjoyed the post about someone wanting another party to come and kill a spider for them at 1am. Not only does the post get an actual reply, but it’s an alternative solution that seems to shake up the worldview of the original poster. Grade A.
If interested in purchasing either Volume 1 or Volume 2 visit strangertwostranger.tumblr.com.Another awesome review!

The first volume of my comic Stranger Two Stranger was reviewed by Justin Giampaoli at the Poopsheet Foundation. Here’s a snippet:
This isn’t autobiographical, more biographical I suppose, but like good autobio comics, the observations catalogued here provide commentary about daily life, which illuminates the universal human condition, ideally causing us to consider our own actions in introspective fashion. Stranger Two Stranger is well-drawn, and an old-school, made-it-at-Kinko’s, honest-to-goodness, hand-stapled, DIY mini-comic. It’s a fun first effort that succeeds. Grade A-.

If a photographer cares about the people before the lens and is compassionate, much is given. It is the photographer, not the camera, that is the instrument.—Eve Arnold (April 21, 1912 – January 4, 2012)

The year 2011 is a wrap and so is my photo a day project. I admit it was a bit of a burden to find a photo a day to shoot that I thought was interesting and unique. My schedule didn’t allow much time for the process either. As a result most of these images were shot in transit either while traveling in a car, train or on foot.
The site is probably best viewed using tumblr mosaic.
Thanks for looking.
I am done!!!
