OK. Give me a couple of hours and I’ll rustle up something.

I have seen the film and it is one of the best ever. The director, John Hillcoat, will be directing Cormac McCarthy’s “The Road”.

Would you be interested in interviewing Troy about Ballardian themes in his photography for ballardian.com? You seem familiar with his work, as well as Ballard’s, so it seems like a good fit. I was going to do the interview myself but don’t really have the time at the moment. You could conduct it via email, I imagine.

My only worry is that I’m not unhinged enough in my designer recreational psychopathology.

Hey Mr. Sellars you seen “Ghosts Of The Civil Dead”? Something about Troy’s work reminds me of that harrowing film..

Be warned, brave young sapling. These are [not] nice places to visit – unless you enjoy breathing asbestos fibers whilst hiding from hatchet wielding satanist cults on bad crack suppositories.* Ask Troy – he’s had some pretty close calls in the past, and must have balls like cannon shot, just hanging out long enough to capture such incredible images from our collective cultural failings.
*The hatchets are rusty and are covered with dried blood with hairs stuck to them

These stark, neon frozen non-locations represent the forever wandering hungry midnight soul of Maximum (Astral) Amerika. Of course, the mighty BALLARD saw all this coming decades ago. Enter the domain of the dead at your own risk. I’ll meat you there..
