Agghhhh Damn You, MySpace!
Me: I’m going to delete my MySpace.
Nina: You always say that.
Me: Well this time I’m serious.
Nina: Why?
Me: [Scoots over so she can see the monitor] Because I just saw this.
Nina: That pissed you off that much?
Me: …yeah?
Nina: But then you won’t be my top friend.
Me: … [Doesn't delete MySpace account.]
I don’t even know what [...]
Bad Karma News
This is all old. Almost a year, in fact; it was just a couple days after Cameron moved out to Portland, which happened to coincide with the big Obama rally, and these photos must have gotten lost in the shuffle as I was working the 3 zillion pictures I took of the future president. So [...]
Unmarketable
I was at a temp agency yesterday finishing up an interview and finalizing paperwork and stuff so I can start getting some boring data entry jobs. We were discussing the results from a couple of online tests I had to take that assessed my “technical” abilities (typing and reading speed, mostly), as well as rated [...]
A Random File Find
I was going through old art and things on my computer and found this Beetle Bailey comic that I had written new speech bubbles for. I’m not sure what I was thinking, but I thought it was pretty funny anyway. The “last modified” date on it was in June of 2002, so I made [...]
AROANFMLACKMAOAOFFFUCKFUCKFUCKUGH
I stumbled across a post online today showcasing some of photographer Max Sauco’s work. BARF. I’m not even going to give this shit any credibility by claiming I don’t understand it; there’s nothing to understand. This is bullshit no-concept “high” art, plain and simple. “Hmm, well I have my nude model. What can I [...]
Some Recordings
Adam and I have been recording some crap lately in his living room on this sweet 15-year-old 4 track that has a built-in room mic. We haven’t really been doing any overdubbing with it, just writing songs and running through them a couple times live. It’s pretty fun, especially since I haven’t messed with (let [...]

Pinhole Camera Results
We finally finished up the roll on my first-ever pinhole camera (documented here and here) and, after about 15 minutes disassembling it in the dark to retrieve the film, schlepped it off onto Pro Photo Supply to develop. We had to take it to a “real” lab since I cut the matchbox to produce 24mm [...]

Okay, I Have a Nice Camera
I’m killing time until it gets closer to sunset, when my lovely girlfriend/human-lightstand-assistant plan to hit up an east side skatepark for some photos. I was taking pictures of her cat, and ended up getting one of the sharpest photos I’ve ever shot. Sometimes it’s nice to look at my photos at 100% so I [...]
