wow is all i have to say
this has to be one of the most sad and intresting things i have seen in awhile…
its so beautiful…
shooting around…
here is some stuff i have done mostly just shooting around, trying to use digital for he fun of it.
digitl is weird it gives you weird shaped photos the ratio is weird…
on my way home from work, i stopped and took these.
black and white version, i like this one.
and a view from the apartment, this is what we see from our patio. i was trying long exposure shots. this was like a 30 second exposure. i think it turned out rad i should print this on 11×17… i tried to print this from our plotter and it looked pretty good im sure it would be awesome on photo paper.
only thing this thing has noise in it. i was going to try and clean it up, ill probally do that later. but noise is awful its all about grain.
this was at lunch today he was content reading his paper ignoring everyone around him. just enjoying his lunch and the paper…
and just random cloud formations i liked, it was hot and bright the clouds were flowing.
ok thats it im off to bed…
lofi wickedness
i dont know if that makes sense. the lofi wickedness…
anyways
if you havent looked to your right and seen the new link to moominstuff you should take a look. he takes photos using toy cameras Holga’s, Diana’s and Fujipet, cameras pretty much any crappy camera he can get his hands on.
he takes unbelievable photos using outdated film, his polaroid shots are jawdropping…
ive been living in arizona for 28 years and haven’t seen most of the stuff he has seen. he drives around in this crazy hell we call arizona while documenting his journeys…
take a look if you get the chance you wont be disappointed.
only thing bad about him is i think he hates RUSH…
here is his blog http://moominsean.blogspot.com/
and a link to his flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/sjrohde/
10:15
10:15 and im eating a hot dog and drinking a cherry pepsi…
its no the most nutritious breakfast. but i was hungry. so yesterday was monday and i forgot to upload the journal entry last night. what a loser already forgetting about it. tonight i will upload it. things are moving along as they always are. its hot and humid here in the desert. i have been living here in this desert for 28 years and im tired of it…
im honestly tired of the heat.
i dont know maybe its the heat getting to me and making me lazy. or maybe im just tired in general. i dont know honestly. i dont know.
i see alot of my friends have moved on from here. and are doing awesome things with there lives. i guess from some point i envy them. mostly from the standpoint that they are doing things, im proud of them, i wouldnt give anything up that i have, my wife or my daughter. i just want to do more i suppose. and i want talia and chloe right beside me.
talia supports me through everything i do. she is awesome and amazing.
i dont know maybe im rambling again.
who knows what goes through my mind most of the time.
7 miles later
man i just rode home from work and the ride was grueling for some odd reason, im tired and hotter than usual… it was only 110 today too…
i dont know what happened…
i stink and need a shower.
might have been my lunch i ate a big steak and potato and some beans…i was so super hungry, i wasnt able to eat my breakfast so i went all morning without eating.
that might have had something to do with it.
well i took a photo of what i look like whne i get home ill post when i get the film developed.
time to clean up and relax…
past events.
Today im tired, trying to finish a design for a logo.
Man this day seems so long. I don’t know its almost over, so it is probably getting there.
I have been wanting to write something out but honestly have been neglecting my blog. Not that it matters, but I should at least type something there. I always look forward to posts in other peoples blogs. But then again I dont think to many people visit here, just the occasional person cruising on through.
Well I did have a awesome idea concerning the blog and my journal, well this weekend was spent mostly with my mom sister and nephew, and my mom has been giving me stuff from my childhood. And she gave me my journal from when i was 9 years old, I remember the thing, I had to keep one in elementary school we used to have to write in it everyday. It was just paper in a folder, I remember mine was either purple or blue, pretty sure it was blue. We had to write at least one entry a day. This probably explains why I have always had a journal and now a blog. I knew my mom had the journal but never really thought about it until she gave it to me. Well she gives it to me and the thing is filled with pages of just entries.. me and Talia read it on the way home from my moms and we still had a lot to read, its about a 15-20 minute trip from my moms so you can imagine how many entries there are. So this has been our reading for the last couple of nights. i find it funny to go back through these entries and see what was on my mind, what i was thinking and what i felt. its interesting
Well I was thinking and had the bright idea to scan in pages from the journal and post them to the blog and show a entry a week or whenever i feel like it, So you can see what kind of nerd I was and how I was stricken with the Nintendo bug that all kids had in 1989. Honestly it seems all I talked about was Nintendo games and baseball
That’s the goal anyways so im going to try and upload one a week or when I feel like it I want to spread it out over time, Talia thought it was a awesome idea. I think its pretty fun, you can read funny little stories and see my penmanship improve over time
Also I should be having photos in a couple of days and maybe a better entry, these past entries have been so scattered
Till then
