Guess I'll give this a try, possibly posting less, maybe not living up to that. Dunno. These were from the exhibition the photo club at my school put on towards the beginning of the semester (just to give you an idea about how far behind I am).

It was called Home. This is Jim and Lesley.

I didn't shoot coverage of the closing reception as I feel I should have. There were tons of things going on and many things going through my head so I'm sort of surprised I have what I did shoot.

Here are some flies.

Shot this scene again later in color, think that frame is much better than this bw version.

Ortho-lith film.

This sculpture appeared on campus early in the semester. I now know it was done by Mylan Chacon and the title of it is Bird's Nest. Didn't know that until just a few weeks ago. Gave Mylan a print of this shot..

Tuyen.

Maggie.

It actually rained earlier this year... My M6 got quite wet.

I was out behind our darkroom eating lunch (without my camera with me) and there was someone standing framed perfectly by the entrance to the ceramics place. He was there for quite some time. I finished eating and returned, but he was gone. I took the shot regardless, though it would have been much better if he was there.

I find it hard to comment on these..

I've been intrigued by window light like this.

Switched to Portra 160 NC.

At Dana Point Harbor.

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

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

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

Skimming.

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

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

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.

Yea, I missed the focus, so what.

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

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

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.

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

Think I nailed the exposure here.

Wide eyes.

Waiting.

He just sat there.

At the optometrist.

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.

She wanted to try on green colored contacts.

I went and saw a lecture by Steve McCurry here.

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.

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.

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?"

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.

Over in Panorama City..

and then in Burbank

Elevator.

then Hollywood & Highland

Spent a Friday night at a friend's apartment.

Didn't shoot much..

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

The sky was cool. Clouds move fast.

This subway station looked like a giant bathroom.

Taco Bell establishment turned Thai BBQ.

Thailand, in LA!

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

This was quite a confusing encounter.

Could have (should have?) gotten closer.

Rubik's cube.

That's all.
