brain packing

i got my ricoh camera out that i havent used in three months, and low and behold there where pictures from the past. please make funny captions.

I haven't stated my final photo project yet. that leaves me one week to take the photos, develop the film and make the prints. oh snap. but the good thing is that I have a plan. the plan goes like this, go out tomorrow in the rain, crawl around in the forest taking photos of whatever I bump into, and then sit in the dark room for about seven hours. I eagerly await my results.

and it burns, burns, burns the house on fire.

Well, today I was out in St. Helens, Oregon, taking photos for one of carries graphic design projects about running and how it gives you endorphins and what not. Those photos went fine, but what really made my day was when Tyler and I were driving into Scappoose.

There happened to be a fire-fighter training day where they were burning down an old house that probebly had been there from the 20s or 30s. Sad day for the house and i couldn't help feel a little guilty about my enjoyment at watching end of its long life go up in "flames". I had my camera with me so I pulled it out and snaped a few. I didnt think i got any thing good until I put them on the computer and woooah, theres a keeper. So, here it is. Notice the water bottle that the fire fighter is holding. sorry about the water mark, it must be done

ok so know im going to give you all a little... um, artists statement.. i guess. often i find my self searching on google to find something that i would like to know how to do. such as, make a time lapse or fix my yashica camera, but no one ever seems to have what im looking for, or just talks techy talk and never says, really how to do it. so i will randomly post mostly "how to stuff" that you might and should need to know, spelled out with photos.... yes. also i wont spell right.

blogging test

so, i am now blogging. i have entered the world of middle aged mothers that think that every one and there dog want to know about their two children and the fact that they spilled milk this morning and how horrible it was. goody
