Where are you going?

I need to shoot more ><

Always someone looking right at me:

I was "caught" making a photo, so I had to return the favor and capture him making one.

rgy01519

Drizzling olive oil

rgy01520

Friend's going away party.

rgy01521

Was very dark, and because I have a problem with not shooting enough, I was stuck with a 400 ISO roll. I got this one decent shot, rest were blurry messes (and not the good kind).

rgy01523

Cats!

Visited Mount St. Mary's College. The campus is a lot smaller than I imagined it would have been.

rgy01552

rgy01554

Bathroom + mirror + camera = self portrait.

rgy01555

Friend's GPS. It told us where to go. I found it humorous for some reason.

rgy01557

Another iPhone.

rgy01558

:)

rgy01561

And I tried my hand at a double exposure. Not entirely happy with it, but it came out ok.

Thanks for viewing.

Where was I?

Monday, January 19th, 2009

For whatever reason I found that I had a 24 exposure roll of Trix in my camera again.

Let's start with some boring ocean shots.

rgy01371

I printed this one on fiber, definitely like the way the water and waves looks.

rgy01372

Probably should have not chopped off the left side.

rgy01373

rgy01374

Uncle's car, thought it would make for a nice self portrait.

rgy01376

We walked out to this area, was between two houses, apparently a "secret" surf spot.

rgy01377

rgy01378

My uncle.

rgy01379

I turned around to take one last photo. The previous photos were taken where the trail leads here

rgy01380

Feeding dogs.

rgy01382

My uncle's (old) dog, Rudy.

rgy01384

rgy01385

Christmas Eve, my grandmother on the left, then my brother and sister.

rgy01386

Decided to open presents a day early this year.

rgy01387

rgy01388

After that we had our traditional dessert of rice pudding. My sister loves it.

rgy01390

rgy01391

Why hello!

rgy01393

Already asleep a moment later.

rgy01394

I bought my grandmother lavendar earl grey tea leaves. We made a pot to try it out and I'm very happy to say that she liked it.

rgy01395

rgy01396

Then decided to take three portraits, I think they'd make a nice triptych, grandmother, mother, and sister.

rgy01398

rgy01397

rgy01399

Our other cat with a bow on his head. He let it sit there before, but I was too slow to catch him like that. Caught him throwing it off, instead.

rgy01402

My uncle came over a little later. It was very dark, I didn't take much here because I figured they'd be blurry (and they were).

rgy01466

rgy01470

I feel like there's a huge gap between the last photo and the next. I'm not quite sure what happened. But, this is New Year's Eve, I spent it at my Uncle's house.

A neighborhood near him had all their lights still up. One house had a nightmare before christmas theme.

rgy01474

All the houses had their trees lit similarly, it was very impressive.

rgy01476

He has a boa. Her name is Victoria. She was my primary reason for spending my time down there. I wanted to handle her since, at that time, I was planning on purchasing one. (I have since done so)

rgy01477

rgy01478

Rudy lazing around.

rgy01479

iPhones

rgy01480

Doggies.

rgy01482

And then asleep.

rgy01483

rgy01484

Later that evening, when I finally arrived home.

rgy01490

At the reptile expo I bought my boa at. This guy had a green anaconda out. On my way there, I was wondering if anyone was going to have a decent sized one. It was cool to see one so close up and seemingly docile.

rgy01492

Only took that shot, it was packed and I was more interested in finding a snake than documenting it. Few days later took this from the passenger seat of my friends car. Even so, it seems there's always someone in the group that notices me and is staring right at me. I never notice until after I develop/scan the negative.

rgy01493

I have to remember that with a rangefinder I have to move it up a little if I want it to align correctly when shooting from inside a car or anything otherwise close up. Just a bunch of motorcycles behind us. Would have preferred it framed a little higher so you can see them better and less of Stitch.

rgy01494

He was cleaning the stars, I dunno why..

rgy01495

Huge street ad for HBO's show Big Love. They were handing out cheap earphones and you were supposed to plug it into the sign to hear different character's secrets. I listened to one of them for probably about 30 seconds and got bored of it.

rgy01496

This guy was photographing people interacting with it. He had a hasselblad out a little later on, which I thought was cool.

rgy01497

Dreamworks.
