Getting ready for a shoot (finally!). I'm feeling a little rusty but hopefully everything will go well.
My biggest problem with photography is that I tend to rush through things. Once my mind starts coming up with ideas I want to do that all at once. It's hard to take a step back and work things out one at a time, to think and really...

yea -- what he said!

thanks for the vote of confidence. It ended up going very well 
There is nothing worse then coming home after a long day, noticing there are 25 new e-mails in your inbox and finding out they are all junk. What a way to feel unloved...
On the plus side I was able to treat myself to some tasty japanese noodles tonight. Combine that with a good diet coke and I was in heaven for a solid twenty...

I have a very close friend who is diabetic so his fridge was always stocked with diet cola. It really didn't take me very long to develope an addiction for the taste and ever since then I almost can't enjoy a meal without it. It's really a mixed blessing at times.

Myself, I am a black and white kinda guy. But I know what you mean about not having a dark room and the smells that go with it. I personally LOVE the smell of fixer too. It's weird TMAX fixer has just a bit of a sweeter smell. And that's why I love using TMAX better than regular process films.
UGH... Now is when I walk to the basement and just HOPE I can find a small darkroom space... ugh..

The smart thing to do right now would be to stay home and spend some much needed time updateing my website. The fun thing to do would be to go out have a drink and watch a movie.

It was the Patti Smith work that turned me on the Mapplethorpe way back when. Partly because I just love her as a musician and partly because the pictures have such and intimacy to them. I really hope someday I can capture someone like that.
In some ways its like that with Ashes and I. More so back when we were dating and less so now that we are just friends. It's still there to some extent though.

I went to the bookstore today and bought a collection of Robbert Mapplethrope photographs. Now I'm feeling incredibly inspired which is good considering I've been feeling a bit low for the past two weeks.
Now if only I can turn that inspiration into motivation to do my school work I'd be all set and ready to go!

I am so sick of people drama. I think I am going to hold myself up at home and watch Twin Peaks...
The Legendary Pink Dots are playing as I write this. I'm a little bitter I had to work tonight and could not go. Oh well, thats what happens when you have a night job I guess.
I think I'm going to have a little dance party with myself at home just to make up for it

I just learned that the 25th Hour is being made into a movie. As if that wasn't exciting I also learned that it is going to have Edward Norton (yum!) as the lead. I really hope they do the material justice. There is nothing worse then having one of your favorite books turned into a bad movie.

Wow, I just saw two really great movies in a row and I feel so inspired its incredible!
First I saw Frida. By default it was of course a wonderful story but some of the camera techniques in the film where just spectacular. The emotional impact I felt immediately after the trolly accident was just unreal.
Then this afternoon I FINALLY got to go see...

Damn I keep forgetting to put the three colors movies on my netflix queue.. (I'm searching right now, they don't seem to have any of them on DVD yet .. though they DO have a film called "Inbred Rednecks." Oh boy.
shaden:
yeah, i am praying for the day those movies come out on DVD. I own crappy VHS copies of them but its just not the same...
You know, I am so sick and tired of flaky people. It's really annoying when I plan out a shoot, clear away my schedule, get the time off work, and just bend over backwards to get a shoot done and then everything falls apart at the last minute. grrr...
I don't really have much choice but to deal with it. I can always use this...

linz:
flakiness is no fun.
jora:
How inconsiderate! Charge them a fee, steal their soul, take their first born child! Bastards!
Sorry.
Sorry.
It is such a wonderful feeling when you clear all the homework off your plate and you have about three days or so before you even have to think about it again.
Ohhh..and possibly two shoots this weekend..yaaay!

london:
I love that too... I have no homework for 5 days!
shaden:
No homework is the greatest. I can tell I'm getting old though because instead of thinking "party time!" i'm thinking "sleep time..."
