BUENO POWER VLOG #30 - FRESNO MEETS NEW YORK

Monday, October 30, 2017



This vlog was definitely special to me considering I got to see a good friend of mine from California visit good 'ol New York. The eats were the main thing I wanted to have Chris experience. I loved the fact that he was just fuckin' down for everything. Chris... we're definitely hanging out soon.

INSTANT PORTRAIT #35


Lowell, Ma / December 2016

She works at Brew'd Awakening and is a pretty sweet person. I don't remember her name, but I was always infatuated by her smile and energy. You know working food service jobs (especially coffee) can be quite taxing, but hey... she working it right?

8 YEARS

Friday, October 27, 2017




It's been eight years since this blog had started. And since my departure from my former partner the blog has now become a record of what my life has been like being with her. To be honest I haven't been able to look at these past posts just for the fact that some of the images kind of hurt to look at. But that's life I suppose.

Throughout the years the blog underwent many changes. The logos, the content, the process and the locations were all a factor as to how the blog sits today. Through it all I was willing to put out what I was doing and how I was doing it. I still continue to be married to this blog and I couldn't see it being dismantled anytime soon. Much of my heart and soul was put into it. I might as well keep it going as long as I can.

I have many prospects coming up this next year. The blog, I hope, will remain the same, but the content will greatly change. More of my work will be digital this time around. I think that I need to undergo the practice of shooting more and more. I have a lot of film that needs to be developed as well and with money being tight I don't have the means to even think about developing the rolls. I might be able to take care of these in small batches, but that's pretty much it.

BUENO POWER VLOG #29 - WORKIN' IT FOR THEM EATS

Monday, October 23, 2017



It's been good so far and eating a lot of good food in the weekends. But on this episode I gave you a glimpse of what I do pretty much everyday. Working out is definitely a routine a take seriously and to tell you the truth if I miss a day (which is very rare) I get kinda upset. It's just me trying to to be as healthy as I can ya know?

INSTANT PORTRAIT #34


Lowell, Ma / December 2016

"Grimey Snow" has to be one of the most dedicated photographers I know at this point. He really puts in a lot of work to his craft. Started from bottom and now he's here. Give him a follow. I'm definitely going to support his dude as much as I can.

CURRENT STATUS

Friday, October 20, 2017

A post shared by Art Bueno (@buenopower) on



Finding a new job, finding a new home, rekindling relationships I had to abandon, feeling isolated, waking up with depression, working as much as I can, working out as much as I can, eating better, feeling more confident, working hard at art, not working at all, youtube videos, video games, still straight edge, still worried about my future, and what am I gonna do when I don't have money?

These are some of the thoughts I've been having over the last few months. Waking up each day till the night with this mindeset is taxing on my body and mind. But I figure this is normal. I hate being hungry, I hate not being able to know if I have gas in my car and I hate the fact that money is really tight. These are things I don't like to think about, but are things I need to be thinking about.

It's fucking annoying and knowing that I'm in this state isn't something to be proud of. But I know that for sure I'll make it out being happier than I was before. It's a long journey and I hate hearing that shit, but it's the truth.

BUENO POWER VLOG #28 - NYABF & GUITAR PICKS

Monday, October 16, 2017



As I continue to catch up on the vlogs I'm understanding that a lot of what I've been doing these last few months is pick up the pieces of moments I have lost in the recent years. It's been nice gaining back interests I've had and finding that groove as an artist. I think things will be okay from here on out.

EXPIRED POLAROID #32


unCharted Guest / Lowell, Ma / 2015

Another one of these images I took that night. I still have a pack of those expired Polaroid's and am hoping that it turns into something. I need to really step up my game and really figure out how I can compile this into something cohesive and stuff. No matter though. Once I do I might release as a zine of some sort.

BUENO POWER VLOG #27 - GAMES AND FOOD

Monday, October 9, 2017



This blog was certainly a good one just for gaming and eats. Mostly eats though. Anyway, I'm starting to catch up on the schedule again and I think that the rhythm of vlogging again is back. I just hope I can keep at it!

EXPIRED POLAROID #31


unCharted Guest / Lowell, Ma / 2015

I think I remember when this was taken. I started doing these portraits for a bit with the expired Polaroid to do something with it in the future and it was at the gallery showing I did at that place. I'm not sure if the idea of doing any kind of zine was in the works for it, but it's still one of those things I might want to consider here soon. Looking at the collection of photography I've gathered with this frame of mind I might want to try and pursue it again. It may take a lot of work, but I'm up for the challenge.

BUENO POWER VLOG #26 - CURRENT EVENTS

Tuesday, October 3, 2017



It was kind of a late upload, but I got it done and am almost back on track with posting footage again. Over the last few weeks I've been doing my best to stay busy with friends and such. I've been working on writing an EP, getting back into photographing again, blogging, and sort of keeping myself healthy going to the Gym and eating well everyday and night. A lot has happened for sure, but I think that things will be okay from here on out. The divorce process has been smooth and I definitely need that right now. I've also been toying with the idea of getting a second job just so I can save some money for next year. We'll see I guess

unCharted Guest / Lowell, Ma / 2015

I'm going to try and finish the rest of the posts off that I've not queued yet for the next few months. There are some images I've uploaded that I forgot were still pending.

To finish off the rest of this series I (and still have) expired Polaroid I've yet to shoot. This was at the unCharted Gallery a couple of years back when it first started gaining steam. Currently the business is doing well and is named one of the best places to go for shows. I was part of that for awhile until recently. I hope Mike and the unCharted family continue on with the business and keep the scene thriving. They're the reason why music exists for weirdos.
