I've been printing for the past few weeks. I've been making 11x14's of a series of images, I have 8 printed so far, just 4 more to go. Then I'm going to be make several mural prints; probably a couple 30x40's and one 40x60.

But I miss shooting, I've slowed down too much recently.

On a random note, I'm loving Haligh, Haligh, A Lie, Haligh by Bright Eyes.

I shot a roll of Ektachrome with a Canonet. Pushed it one stop and cross processed it, not really happy with how it came out, but a few shots were ok.

I'm also tired of making street shots at school, it bores me to death.

This was at karaoke a few weeks back...

During a crit at school. No bad comments for this class.

There is a cat in my sink.

Should be self-explanatory:

At school, again, boring.

I organized, hung, and exhibited in a gallery at school. The theme of the exhibition was Home. This is when the lighting was being changed.

No one was hurt, thankfully. :P

Then, this was in Montrose.

I'm in both (^ that one) and the one below. My mom's the one behind me.

The restaurant had a nice feel to it. Lot of older people, but older people are the ones whose faces tell stories, so it's all good.

The sculpture thing was neat. Wish the lighting was better, but I still enjoy this shot.

School. is so boring. I guess this is about a palm tree? Can't exactly escape them in so cal..

Dishes, primarily coffee mugs.

I shot this because I was already getting bored and wanted to shoot something. It was f/1.4 at 1/1000th. I knew the negative would be dense, but I doubt it's worth it to try and print it.

The light leaked over into the next frame:

And, that's all. I'm almost finished with this roll in my camera.

I borrowed my friend's Canonet QL17. Put a roll of Efke 25 through it, mainly because I had only one roll of it, have never used it before and was apprehensive about putting that slow of a film in my Leica. The camera had no battery, but everything else seemed in working order and the roll turned out ok.

Surprised this one was in focus.

Burned the rest of the roll at home.

Two spiders.

Crazy flare.

Oh hey, clouds.

Now Tri-x. Project for an art class, had to create an album cover. Also featured is the canonet and an article about Sonic Youth with Thurston making a face (including hands with eyes) quite similar to that of the pale man from Pan's Labyrinth.

For the same art class we had to create a sign and put it up somewhere on campus.

We got puppies. (more to come later)

But first, I went to the griffith observatory because I hadn't been since it reopened.

Not very interesting, unfortunately:

I thought I missed him. A second later he was off the floor.

Zeiss telescope!

Ok, more puppies.

He hops when he runs.

They both enjoy laying down at our feet.

Oh, I also got a gecko. Mom's co-worker couldn't take care of it anymore and I said I would. He's cool.

Hello, there!

Printed this one on fiber, but not entirely happy with the print.

My messy desk (featuring sleeping gecko).

I watched Grizzly Man. After seeing Encounters at the End of the World I wanted to see more by Mr. Herzog and this one seemed like a good choice. Turns out it was, a very well done documentary on a fascinating person.

Joys of living in southern california?

My grandmother in the house she raised her children in. I underexposed it because I'm stupid.

Must be something to revisit the house you grew up in, or raised your children in..

Back home.
