Karaoke.

San Fernando.

RGY02727

Teddy.

RGY02728

Had his balls taken away that day.

RGY02729

RGY02734

Second time going to the annnenberg space for photography.

This time I was further back.

RGY02735

Dan Winters was the lecturer. It surprised me when he started off by showing his early work, which consisted of his version of street photography. The work was very interesting even though it could be argued that it's not street in the traditional sense. Interesting that he started off doing that.

RGY02738

Him and his photo of Obama.

RGY02741

Excuse the scratch.

RGY02744

Book signing.

RGY02745

Outside. Besides one kid (he was probably 6? 7?) I think my friend and I were the youngest people there.

RGY02746

RGY02747

RGY02749

Century City has this almost hospital like sanitary feel.

RGY02750

Went to Venice again. Found some ducks.

Not exactly chronological, since I rewound one roll, switched Trix+3 for Plus-x.

RGY02777

Annenberg again. Memory is disjointed anyway, right?

That'll be enough for now. I hope you enjoyed looking at them, thanks for viewing. :)

Trix+3.

RGY02559

RGY02560

RGY02561

I find it hard to comment on these..

I've been intrigued by window light like this.

RGY02562

RGY02564

RGY02568

RGY02569

Switched to Portra 160 NC.

RGY02521

At Dana Point Harbor.

RGY02522

Shop had a very cozy feel to it, compared to the rest I saw, at least.

RGY02523

RGY02524

Sort of disappointed in the water spots on it, too lazy to get rid of them.

RGY02525

My brother. I don't think it's possible for me to hold my camera perfectly straight.

RGY02526

RGY02527

RGY02530

Skimming.

RGY02531

RGY02533

This is what happens when you're not watching the waves. :p

RGY02534

I had to hop backwards after that or I would have gotten wet too.

RGY02536

RGY02537

I don't have many words for these. I do know I'd like to shoot more beaches, though. Bruce Gilden's Coney Island work is inspiring enough. I think I'd rather shoot in color though.

RGY02539

RGY02540

Yea, I missed the focus, so what.

RGY02541

Probably the shot I'm most happy with from this roll.

RGY02543

RGY02544

RGY02546

RGY02547

My sister used my Holga that day. The roll came out quite well. Really need a scanner capable of scanning medium format.

RGY02549

Later that day I finished the roll at my Uncle's house. Newly moved in. They've got a nice view of the sunset from their backyard. There's also a family of young hawks. They didn't come out until after I finished the roll, though.

RGY02550

Finishing the roll I started (from the beginning of the post)

RGY02572

Think I nailed the exposure here.

RGY02573

Wide eyes.

RGY02574

Waiting.

RGY02576

He just sat there.

RGY02580

At the optometrist.

RGY02582

My eyes are terrible and when I go I have to take my contacts out. Last time and this one I ventured to take a couple shots practically blind and they came out just fine.

RGY02583

RGY02584

She wanted to try on green colored contacts.

RGY02585

I went and saw a lecture by Steve McCurry here.

RGY02595

There was a guy in the front row I saw shooting with an M8 (whose shutter sounded significantly different than I expected) but other than that everyone else was shooting huge dslr's.

RGY02597

RGY02599

At the book signing afterwards. I would have bought a book of his, but I'm broke so I didn't. Also, they were charging far more than what you can get them for on amazon. One guy came prepared with 3 books.

RGY02600

The lady that took this had never used a Leica before and didn't realize I was using film until after she shot it. She was really concerned, "so I can't check to see if it turned out well?" I prefocused for her and set the exposure so all she had to do was hit the shutter. I reassured her that I was positive it would come out.

I also had Steve McCurry sign my Leica, since I had nothing else of significance for him to sign. He did ask me after, "is this film or digital?"

RGY02601

My brother saw me take that one and he said "are you sure that's going to come out?" Exposure time was 1/4s at f/1.4. I told him, "I'm positive."

My cat is weird.

RGY02602

RGY02603

Spent a Friday night at a friend's apartment.

RGY02630

RGY02632

Didn't shoot much..

My sister's birthday was little over a week ago.

The sky was cool. Clouds move fast.

RGY02663

This subway station looked like a giant bathroom.

RGY02664

RGY02665

Taco Bell establishment turned Thai BBQ.

RGY02667

RGY02668

Thailand, in LA!

RGY02669

RGY02671

Not sure what these were, but I think they were worthy of a shot. Didn't come out how I would have liked though..

RGY02672

This was quite a confusing encounter.

RGY02675

RGY02676

RGY02677

Could have (should have?) gotten closer.

RGY02678

RGY02681

RGY02682
