gooo velvia!
June 16th, 2008
I shot some more Velvia (100), took some more portraits on my front porch. Love the light right there. Quite happy with these three.
We went to the book store so that she could read a preview chapter of some book, read the chapter in the store, ended up buying the book anyway.
There was an exit ramp here.
Friend took this one
And I took one of him.
CA weather. One day it's raining. The next it's 100 (otherwise known as, fucking hot).
I underestimated the power of a cell phone LCD screen.
The new-ish parking lot for the local community college.
Oh hey. Ran into one of our neighbors. (yes, i know i failed and framed his head so that there's a pole growing out of it)
And, surprisingly, there's a river/pond thing separating the parking structure from the street.
Walking back home.
This time the cat isn't mine.
The light from the setting sun was perfect.
And, if it's digital, you know they're going to ask "let me see it!"
Brother.
Literal street shot at night.
And a fence.

LA is cold.
May 25th, 2008
Lots of photos this time.
One of the last days at school. This guy left his lights on.
Cloud covered mountains
Mr. cat.
Mr. cat again.
Mr. dog, incessantly barking.
Developing
Showing all the cookies are gone.
Mom ordered a bunch of candles. This is Trix+3. I like the way it turns out much more compared to normal Trix.
Cats were lounging as they so often do.
Mom with her huge homegrown heads of lettuce.
With a friend, off to meet with a prospective client of ours.
I actually don't remember taking this one. It actually came out decent, too, which is odd.
Showing him Severin's site.
He didn't take the photo
Amazing what a 1.4 lens and a rangefinder can do. I took this shot 3 times because I thought the first was going to have camera shake (didn't realize I was at 1/15th), but 'lo and behold the first came out just fine.
Random!
Mr. Rabbit. Cool how the frontmost part of the cage doesn't even show.
Dirty door.
And the other cat.
Hope you enjoyed these, at least a little. Thanks for viewing and maybe reading.

New film dryer
May 17th, 2008
I made a film dryer out a $5 piece of 4" PVC pipe. It works surprisingly well. Drilled holes at the top and bottom, top ones to hang it from the ceiling, bottom to hold film reel. Put blow dryer at the top, film at the bottom, turn on blow drying, wait 10 minutes, and voila! dry film with a marginal amount of dust.
Trix+2, in xtol
I start with cats. Since the top of this shelf was cleaned off they've taken to lounging around on it during the morning hours.
My uncle visited one night. He brought In-n-Out coffee mugs and licorice (which was devoured quite quickly)
My mom has some science lesson that she teaches which involves crayfish (crawfish, crawdad) or something. When she was done with them she brought them home and was going to boil them. However, instead of doing that, we decided to put them in our fish tank where they happily gobble up anything and everything tossed in.
Outside a local supermarket. Quite dirty and littered, thought it looked cool.
Serious business.
The car that appears to be pulling in acted quite odd. He started to pull into the spot but it seems that once he saw that I was taking a picture he stopped, backed up and presumably went to park somewhere else. At least, that's what it seemed like when it happened.
Sister, nails. Yay.
Dog fur. Summer's here! No more winter coat.
Dog in question.
It's way too hot here in LA. Thanks for viewing/reading.
