I Am Going to Blow Your Mind

Today, we had childrens over that my sister keeps so they could swim which naturally means that we partook of something very kiddish for lunch - corndogs. I prepared my corndog with the usual mustard and being in snacking-mode, casually snagged a piece of leftover bacon my mother was using to prepare tonights supper. I had the first bite of corndog in my mouth as I proceeded to chomp on said bacon. "WOW!" was the only word I could come up with for this unlikely combination.

I highly recommend that you try this once in your life, BUT if you, in any way, value your life and health, you won't make it a habit as you will feel your ateries hardening as you eat.




A few months ago, Jason asked me to do some photos of the New Daisy for his job. There are supposed to be some flyers around town that feature some of these shots. I am pretty pleased with how these and the flyer came out.

Sometimes I forget that flickr is not the be-all, end-all of photo-sharing and photo-appreciation. I say this because I got rejected from a group called Quality over Quantity. Now, I didn't spend over $15,000 in other peoples money to not know what makes a good photograph which is to say that I know my stuff is good and moreso, that many of the photos in this group are not, in the least, above-mediocre images. Although, I am not trying to say that there is no art like my art is art. There are plenty of people who downright mop the floor with me in all areas aesthetic and technical.

Anyway, my first reaction is not happy, but like I mentioned, flickr, while being invaluable with the amount of technical information it contains, is not a fine-art-centered community no matter how moderated and pretentious their groups may be. So, I now know how ridiculous it is to let that bother me. That being said, my group is awesome. BTW, this is the photo that got turned down:



Rant Over.

Welcome to China, Janine!

One of the potential photo jobs I am awaiting is the photography that is the photographing of foods.





That last one was inspired by nectar and light. She does some awesome polaroid-food-beverage photoing!

I saw The Happening this past weekend, and the more I think about it, the less impressed I am with it. It was pretty good. I understand what M. Night was doing with the 50's paranoia thing, but it just lacked something. Though popular opinion is not necessarily favorable on his last two, I thought Lady in the Water and The Village were excellent. There was something a lot less ballsy about this latest film, and it was probably his least cinematically pleasing film to date. So, overall a bit on the disappointing side.

I need to buy the Home Movies seasons.

For having such a productive night (developed two rolls and shot a few night scenes), I feel obligated to give you something that I've done (not today):




We are dangerously close to being caught up, folks!

So, selfish birthday plug. Feel free to purchase one of these ebay film auctions to make me happy. (from most desired to still really want it)

Film lot 1

Film lot 2

Film lot 3

Film lot 4

Film lot 5

Film lot 6

Film lot 7

If you choose to purchase any of these yet they fall out of your price range, I will be more than happy to accept any of these as a combined gift. Anyway, enjoy the Metalocalypse clip courtesy of adultswim.com.

Dragging Across the Tundra

I needs me some work. Something parttime. Unless you are in need of a photographer and are willing to give me moneys. This is my most recent wedding and the rest of my portfolio. Tired of being poor. Tired of being bored, too. And a moocher. Patience is key, but a temporary crap job is overdue.



I will stop complaining now. I hope that you otherwise enjoy the visuals that I bring you.

Roid it Up

I have really been going through a quasi-miniepiphany lately. I think I am finally doing things (photography, music, drawing, etc.)because I genuinely love and want to do them as opposed to escaping apathy. It's a good feeling. I actually drew and inked and lettered a comic last night and today. I am not especially proud of it, but boy, is it a finished product!

As usual, irons in the fire, playing the waiting game, etc. I actually got connected to a site called decidio.com. Hopefully, I will get some jobs out of that. I knew about the site for some time now but couldn't think of a good name. I finally went for the on-the-spot approach. Right now, I am Certain Words Photography. It may change later. Anyway, instant-film-shots-that-are-not-polaroid-because-polaroid-doesn't-make-instant-film-anymore, anyone?





The latest All-Star Superman is so good that I don't want the next issue to come out for fear of the mini-series being over.
