Crossings

Woman In White

Black Shoes In Waiting

(07/17/06)

i usually never take pictures like these, yehuda got me into the habit of it. and it's really cool. anyway, i have decided to name my camera 'diet coke'. yes i have lost my mind. but but but i like the way it sounds.

Random Timing

infront of applebees this is a random self potrait attempt, yehuda was suppossed to be in this shot, instead it's his camera. ah well, i'm going bald. and to think i straightened my hair to perfection, i hate this humidity - you hear.

p.s i think this is my first self potrait here. no wait, it's the second i think. i don't know.

flash photography.

yeah go ahead, bring in that foreign light source, overexpose your soul. If you keep film under light for too long, it burns. your skin is like flim and you have burned and left behind a rembrandt-esque effect on me. all grains are perfectly in place and the light is just perfect. after all this you realize you don't exist anymore. but if you're not here then where are you? ah yes, i remember. i guess no shutter speed is fast enough to capture your spirit that lives on. i forgot about your spirit for second there.

okay so that was unflatteringly random.

i don't like flash photography, personally i think it just makes people look freakishly weird and if you mess with the shutter speed, you can conveniently make them look like aliens. how mean. it may be a popular genre and i tried it out today, its okay but i don't think i'd like to do it that often. there is this photograph that i have created in my head, i've calculated everything, the light meter readings, the shutter speed - everyGoddamnthing! but but but i need a huge and i mean HUGE wide angle lens in order to make it work. also a huge ladder aswell. sigh, i guess it's just one of those other ideas that will have to take a seat and rust in some corner of my mind.




yesterday i was being random and writing stupid things in my notebook. maham's mom is right, i have a junky brain.

why children can't keep still? i will NEVER ever know. also i still have very conveniently not figured out how to use my camera that well yet. it took my two years for the Olympus, lets see how long this one takes.
