My name is Benjamin Cavanagh Diggles.


I am the web director + co-founder of db clay. I am 27, married + living in Portland Oregon. I don't have many reasons for keeping this blog. I love to talk about emerging web culture + how retarded the media is but mostly it consists of stuff that makes me smile.

I fear neckties + 2012 + I have mild OCD but I will always post, so please come back if you are interested in a little thing called fun. Feel free to leave a comment + not be an asshole. Chill, none of this means anything.
contact me if you want to.

i was scared shitless of school. however, despite her macabre look, i remember being fond of mrs. haun.

if i could only sit down with that 5 year old and tell him you are going to be a trouble maker. don’t.

joshua hoffine // childhood fears

Posted: June 8, 2008

this is best explained by the copy on his site:
i stage my photo shoots like small movies, with sets, costumes, elaborate props, fog machines and special effects make-up. i use hotlights rather than strobes, because they give me better fog effects as well as a warmer color shift. my images are not photoshop collages. i […]
