Oh say, say, say

I am finally on this thing. Everything has been busy, busy, busy. I am
beat. I'm ready for that vacation. I realized my schedule at work and
school left me very few days off. So with each complete day off, I've
been trying to make every good use of every minute.

I'm tired of nature photography. It is so boring to me. All my
pictures look the same. It is ridiculous. Shoot a bird..then shoot an
apple...how about the berries...blah blah BORING! So the other day was
a very nice sunny day and Jilana's little siblings were outside playing.
I whipped out my 35 mm film and took some good shots. I was excited
because I used black and white film and for some reason there is a lot
of thrill in wondering how your shots turned out and having to wait till
they are developed to see them. Unfortunately, I loaded the film wrong
and I didn't get any shots. What the fuckety fuck was I thinkin'. I was
mad pissed, man. All I had were these digital shots taken from Jilana
but I wanted to see the old school retro look coming straight from a
1989 camera with 1989 lens. Gahhhh. Now I hope my next day off is going
to be sunny so I can retake some shots. The kids are awesome models.
They get real into it and I love it. I'll share what Jilana took soon.
I updated the flickr so check that out.

Oh yeah, I'm getting my macbook today...!

damn a macbook?? luckkyy :]

Yeah that's why I like film so much. Cuz it's that feeling you get about how your pictures turned out and you gotta wait a while til your pics actually get developed hahah. Then when they do come out you're like wowwwwwww really? :]

It's okay for not getting any photos cuz you learn from it :]. The first time I did it for b&w, I exposed my photos to tooooo much light that they mostly came out white with black spots.
