Janglin'

All my friends ditched on me for new years! That's a stunning fact I had never anticipated. So I made different plans, twice, and those fell through! So I stayed in the photolab in solitude until morning. Then I hiked Cadillac with these goons, and it made me feel like maybe this year would be different that all those before it. If it was worse than this past year (Bog rest its' rotten soul) than maybe I'm slightly better prepared for it. I just hope things get better, although I never stop doubting that there's worse on the way.

Invictus

 Inside Aubert Hall.

This was a quiet day I spent with a friend sitting in a cave by the ocean.

 We sat there under the cave, and the moments we lived; they felt so concrete. One of my most cherished days in my life actually, even if it didn't seem it.

 Another idea I had, it came out okay I think.

 I took this photo back in August in Montreal. When I took it I didn't think much, it was interesting and I was curious. Now I realize what it represents for me, it represents a sense of the unconquered. The transcendence of being, that maybe there's something more than this. I think often that we lose sight of what's real. We start looking at just the simple pleasures, and forget that there could be more. It's escapism, it's ideal, it's the "might have been".

 This is one of my friends, Megan. This is the very last photo my poor old Pentax K-1000 ever took.

And this is the first photo my new Pentax K-1000 took, I solarized it using the same method a Japanese photographer I'm familiar with used way back.

Thank you for showing me this cave! It was extraordinary.

Times Flies

 We live on a wet round and crowded rock called Earth. It is the only rock that we know of that has life. We are a significant insignificance in the universe. I think that's what lets us see the beauty within ourselves and on Earth.

My friends in their natural habitat.

Black and White, It's all right

 "I promise I'll only take one picture."

 "Nathan! Smile damnit!"

 "Can I take a picture of your baby? I'm a blogger."
"Sure just make sure you put it on the internet so I can find it!"

 "You kids grew up quick."

 "Allissa! I got you in the reflection of the sunglasses!"
"This camera is being difficult."

"It's nice to take a break from selling."
