in the middle of nowhere

the cars sit.

it was here that i watched the birth of a cloud. for real.
it formed out of nothing. a clear clear sky.
and grew and grew.
it made a mark.
on me.
i don't know how to adequately describe it.
but i'm so glad it was a shared experience.

check out this beautiful ottoman. I would love to have one as a room highlight. This picture makes me sad because of the green sweater (that was $80! eeek!) that I didn't buy, but still think about all the time. oh what a trip that was. Such great memories.

I love the saturation here. Not added. All film. Its slide. Contrasty, saturated, fickle, beautiful.

more than two

 here's another, from the beginning with Mami. I have 8 rolls waiting to be developed. A good talk with a new photo friend let me own that I'm scared to try a new lab, even though I know I need to. Courage! Its on the goal list for the week.

Happy 4th!

Hope your day includes some gorgeous watermelon. This beauty was adorning the streets in Green River, which is famous for its variety of melon.

fail?

I was going through my archives tonight and i found these negs from one of the first times I used Mami. It was lowlight, in a sushi restaurant (samurai. pretty sure they've changed their name since, but its on 6200 s and highland. so delish.), definitely not a way I regularly photograph. I only took 3 frames that night. It was still so new. And parallax was something I knew, but not something I was used to consciously correcting for. Here's the thing, though. I don't care. I like the cut. It feels right. What do you think?

testing testing.

I'm attempting to streamline my life. It makes things easier. For example, today I set up for my Facebook Page (are you a fan? You can be. I tell nice things & share secrets among other things).

So this is a test post. To see if it does, in fact, post to facebook like I think it will.
