today

i was really anxious all day today at work. i kept thinking about my last roll of 12o i dropped off to get developed yesterday. i need to know how they turned out, was there another light leak, did i adjusted the exposure well enough??? i must of checked the clock 100 times. this not knowing was killing me, but more than anything i hate waiting, so i devised an early escape plan and skipped out of a work a bit earlier than my usual 5:30 PM. and wouldn't you know it, the know-it-all processing clerk accidently told me the wrong pick up date... Wednesday at 4:30 PM not Tuesday at 4:30 PM.... bummer. i was really disappointed so instead i went home and photographed some of the new house with my disgusting large DSLR. it's no yash but it will have to do until tomorrow.

what i love most about this house is it's charm and character. tiny little details that can easily be overlooked are treasures in my eyes. i especially love when the morning light comes through the enormous hand-made pains of window glass. it spreads like wild fire and coats everything it touches with a magic silver lining.

i have few more of the house i will post later. tomorrow will be print day and i will be anxiously awaiting my escape, once again.

It's been a busy hectic and crazy few days. I have been a little absent from the interwebs - blogging, flickr posts, and aim chats have been lacking, but be assured that rest is not idleness! I am busy busy busy settling into my new house downtown with b and photographing all the magical little places that strike me as special, with light pouring in at every angle... It's really an inspiring place to live, call it the Have House b/c it resides on Haven Drive and also b/c it is our little haven from the outside world.

Also, I am picking up a roll of 120 film (I shot last week) tomorrow so I will have a ton of new uploads soon. Until then enjoy this song by the Candyskins.

inspirations

today is my flickr birthday. i'm a whopping 2 years old!

in honor of this momentous occasion, i thought it necessary to share some of my favorite photos by other flickr people who inspire me.

the photos above belong to: charlie, amalia, troy, meghan, jenn, erica, matt, jejonem, LV, payton, brad, nikki, abeless, jon, lou, michael, emily, ralph and megan risely.

i have shared a conversation with almost every single one of these photographers and many more that i have failed to list above. some i know personally, we chat at least once a day, we crack jokes, and share ideas on every kind of topic there is under the sky. some i have mailed my prints to, we've helped each other out in art shows, and we've exchanged film tips and lighting strategies. some i know dearly as if they are a long lost friend from childhood, we've shared stories of our loves and fears, and are planning visits to meet and go shooting together...

these past two years i have been inspired by and blessed to know such an incredible community of artists, whom (if you take the time to communicate with) are amazing real-life people too! they have helped me become a better artist myself and for that i am exceedingly grateful.

please visit there work, if you get the chance.
