Sculptures by Jason Hackenwerth





photographs of my daily encounters.






We went from live music to an ipod plugged into an amp. Rubbish
Lets all play some damn instruments.

 Here are some of my female friends and my girlfriend. They all got razzy last night. They dipped their heads and feet into kiddie pools full of icing and slang words. I think everyone one had a respectable amount of fun. Then I showed up and photographed. Havnt shot much for this blog lately due to all the black and white film shooting I have been doing for my class. I will do my best to try to update this thing on a regular basis. Also..check out all the links I post inside my words. Also...the girl throwing up the middle finger is lovely. Also....graffiti party tonight so I should come back with some cool shots. Also...I need to figure out what the definition of a "advanced" photographer is. What makes you "advanced". If you think you know, tell me/show me/feed me because I like free food.

Video is short, but maybe more of these to come along with photos of course.

 This photograph I took at a house party last night brought a question to my attention. Why do we like to kill (finish) our drinks (beer/mixed beverage/etc) right before we urinate? So we have 2 free hands for navigating our bile in to the porcelain quarry down below? So we can drunk text while we release that redbull from earlier in the evening? So we can plant our face in our hands and wonder why you drank so much? So we can use both limbs to hold your alcohol infused body up without falling into that disgusting floor yelling for "insert best friend here" to come pick your ass up and get you into a bed or something that resembles one. I guess any of those answers will suffice, thats all for today.

Cops?. D.A.N.C.E. Kiss-n-Quit. Sub Kit. Horrible Tequila Shots. Ketel One arrival. 30 sec. serious talks. Smile and laughing. Everyones favorite songs. Outkast. Hulk Hands. Silly. We all had fun last night. Enjoy the pile-o-limbs.

I was very happy to find this squirrel dead. For some reason I am infatuated by death and the different forms and appearances it can take. I find the position of the body very interesting. How everything seems to go limp and you become a macabre gymnast, bending and twisting in ways not possible while blood runs warm and you can still feel the pulse in your neck. This photo reminds me of crime scene photos I have seen by legendary photographer Weegee. So today I will dedicate this post and photograph to Weegee. Here are some links to enjoy his work.

Im not really crazy about this photograph. I've just been wanting to take a picture of this gentlemen for months now. I just love how he flipped his disability into something he can throw in all our faces. Using his hat to keep his face warm from the cold winter winds. Like I said its not really a good picture, but merely a snapshot of the moment. I did follow him for awhile and have to sorta hide behind a car right before he walked by to get my shot. Im not really sure why I hid......since he is blind. I kinda felt like he had a 6th sense that could feel me close. Anyway I will continue to shoot this man when I see him and post my results.

This gentelmen approached my car window last night. Begging for change to go toward gas for his car stranded a little down the road. I proposed a deal, change for his photograph. He agreed as long as I wasn't the police. I forgot to ask his name. I have no idea if his gas story is credible or not, but I would like to think he was being genuine. We were both wearing flannel shirts that night.
