i just got offered to shoot badland's trio, a locally known folk band, in jacksonville. i am incredibly excited and honored and racking my brain to come up with locations and concepts... i have also been really inspired by these people. they've inspired me to no ends with their beautiful pictures and have especially instilled the need to shoot more with my 35mm. this is definitely something i want to implement on the shoot with bandland's trio.

lately, it's been a time of self assessment and goal setting. i am determined to master my pentax asahi... last attempt i didn't even load the damn film right, so nothing even came out. not a single frame. definitely an amateur move, but fuck it. aren't we all beginners at one time or another? the other goal i am working towards is getting some of my prints up at the local shops and cafe's in orlando. i've learned how important it is for me to share my work, with no intentions of making a dime - but solely for the love of releasing my art out into the world.

i can freeze in the place that

gets me free from this taste that

i have in my heart

and we can curl in the water

snaked swirling like otters

even though i'm not

i am always where you are

a little acapella for a fine friday mornin.

i have fallen in love with the work of jeremy and karn weiss. please visit their site at day19.com.

tomorrow is my birthday.

i know this sounds a tad mellow dramatic but i am just not really feeling like i even care. i honestly just want it to be friday so that i can just enjoy the damn weekend. so if father time wants to send me a little fast forward button for my birthday i'd be truly appreciative.

here is another photo from the daniel lewis shoot. i took a few more outside in the lawn but this is my favorite one to share with the world wide web.

this photo makes me feel a little nostalgic, remembering days of long naps in tall grass, staring up at tree branches as they interlock like the fingers of lovers, and the longing. since birth i believe it existed inside me, some mysterious yearning, burning inside my chest for things beyond my understanding - adventure, true love, the future...

i'm rambling.
