OMG my new job is rugged like Schwartzenegger in his early days. My new motto? "suck it up; rub some dirt on it" blackeyed

Thanks! I feel like a big shot now with inside connections an' shit. I guess I better start rummaging through my box to collect the negatives in question. This part might not be so fun. Since I used to do everything through a retail photo developer, my organization system was basically sprawling piles of 4x6 print envelopes...

My last toy for a while just arrived: a 24mm/f1.8 lens, made by Sigma. The fact that such a fast, wide lens exists for so cheap kind of blows my mind. And it seems to compare favorably to similar Canon L lenses in tests that cost about 5 times as much. Unfortunately, with the crop factor, it's more like a much less impressive 36 for digital. I look forward to the day when full-frame sensors come down into a reasonable price range - that crop factor business blows.

Specs-wise, this is probably the fastest and cheapest, and the cheapest retailer::

I just bought my sigma from this retailer. Saved $50 and no problems. They'll save you $100 on that zoom.

Holy crap! They've got the grey market Nikkor for almost the same price:

That's insane. The retail on that is $1400.

So the Kenosha art fair was a lot of fun. I sold 2 pieces, and traded one for this really cool print. artman and needie were charming as usual, and I hung out with more super cool sg peeps as well. This was my first outdoor show; I need to invest in a tent but the weather weather was bee-yoo-tee-ful for Wisconsin falltime- it still...

Okay, so plan B is this: pictures shot through a prism, only of Riverside park, where there are tons of tangled tree branches and wildflowers right beside slabs of graffiti choked concrete. A nice juxtaposition that will look even weirder and more confusing oncew visually split by the prism. Cool?
I am no longer a symphony employee. Wooohooo! I'm wrapping up loose ends at the...

Sorry so absent, peeps, so here is the xtra chunky big n' hefty journal entry I promised. So I went out to San Diego to see this boy I had been involved with on and off for several years. He actually did a good job of pissing me off on and off for several years, but for some inexplicable reason every time I would tell...

Yes, watching animals is indeed amazing. They don't hold back those natural instinctive actions as much as we do living in weird made up worlds.........
anyhow imagining you there with the cow poop made me smile, I hope you are well.

So here are the awaited Donkey Punch pictures. (see pics folder) This was a bondage show I shot at Mantra Lounge in the Mil, as a favor to DJ Crisgo Disco, who spun for free at my gallery opening. It was a helluva party, as you will see, and I only regret that I have no pictures of myself, and that I don't have the...

array:
nice photos! i love motion and shakiness

Edit: I mean the motion in the Donkey Punch pictures, # 1 and 12.

Also, I like the Abstract pictures # 8 - 15. They really are like paintings with the oversaturated colors.

......sorry for the lack of activity.. I've had $1000 in artwork destroyed, I'm trying to juggle and apply for several jobs, gallery night was decided for me for this fall FAR after the writeup deadline, I'm being dicked around at the symphony, and my lovelife is a confusing quagmire. My car was broken into. I'm not getting the respect I deserve at several of my...

I had a great last minute photo gig last night; I shot a bondage show called Donkey Punch (ha ha ha) at the Mantra Lounge, and although it wasn't very heavy on the bondage, it was very cool and a lot of fun. People were really dressed up, which is kinda rare in Milwaukee, and there were about 10 DJs (including Crisco Disco, who spun...

Holy Christmas I have had the strangest night last night. I got home from an extended day at work at 4 in the morning all ready to hit the sack. I had to be up by 7:30, so I was really looking forward to some sleep. I got ready, turned out the lights, got comfy, and.......loud stepping and rustling noises were coming out of the...

Another fabulous day here at the West Bend Daily news. I have been in homebody mode, mostly due to a distinct lack of cash flow, but also me being lazy and antisocial. So no wild weekend stories, although I am buying my plane tickets tonight for my weekend trip to San Diego to visit my cute little friend Joel, whom I call Bowl, only because...

no wounds opened here darlin.

when someone you love dies of cancer you have an emotional cancer for the rest of your life...or so it seems.

on the upside I have two friends that beat breast cancer successfully thus far.
