  I thought taking another photography class would help further and advance my photography, but it seems like it's stunted it instead.

  The majority of what I've shot this year, thus far, has been extremely personal. Or, in other words, probably wouldn't hold much meaning for anyone but me and a small select group of people.

  

  Maybe when I'm dead all these unposted photos, the ones I don't share, will be uncovered and viewed. Or maybe they'll be lost forever and no one will ever see them. Who knows.

  

  For an art class called 2D design. My sundays are usually spent working on the next project, which, although the semester is almost halfway over, always includes cutting and pasting. Just like in kindergarten.

  

  Trying out a double exposure for the second time. This time I managed to rewind the film the correct amount so that the frames overlap correctly BUT I completely forgot that there was no way I was going to be able to line the camera back up where it was for the first shot. Next time I'll have to remind myself to use a tripod. Or something. Or not do double exposures. Think that might be the better path.

  

  I went to Venice (Beach, wish I meant Italy, though) and found this street performer who stands in glass. He called the lady on the left Japan.

  

  The expressions of the people watching make this for me.

  

  People sleeping, during the day, outside, near the ocean. I feel like I should feel bad for what is probably a homeless person, but I'm not. Instead, I'm jealous. Would it not be nice to be free of the majority of our worries?

  

  There were statues of dogs along this house. And then this dog. And my shadow somehow found its way into the frame as well.

  

  

  I'll avoid any phallic joke about trees growing out of places.

  

  I think there's something wrong with my Leica, not sure what's going on on the far right of the frame here, and I've seen the same on several other frames.
