~cuphook is one of my favorite artists on DA. You can just lurk around his gallery for hours... no exaggeration.

If you have the time, open each individual picture and just stare at it for a good 30 seconds at the least. Or... more than the 2 seconds most people spend while looking at a photo. Let yourself get into it and feel everything it has to offer... each one is so full of heavy atmospheres and feelings, I can't get enough.

Definitely worth a

hahaha I know, I was just in San Diego. This trip is kind of random.
My grandmother is 80. Fun fact.

I end up double exposing or blurring or warping or distorting everything anyway, so you probably won't be able to tell from my pictures I was ever in San Fransisco. Unless I find some sweet building like [link] but that doesn't happen too often.

...Fine, so I do take my touristy photos sometimes. Not that they're DA-worthy or anything. They just chill in my private stash untouched as an embryo. (Unless the embryo is being aborted. That would be like me rediscovering an old photo and going hey, this is actually pretty cool! And then it's born and sleeps in the cradle of my DA gallery. Yep. My gallery is a bunch of newly born infants.) Nah but really, I just felt like making some absurd metaphor for the sake of it.




In other newssss, I the webs series is finished!





I'm sooo happy with how these turned out!






Thanks everyone for your persistent support, especially on webs.4!

THANK YOU SO MUCH `bypass2020!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, you have my eternal thanks... you made my week... no, my month.

And by such an incredible artist such as yourself it's more than an honor!!!

I was just eating rice cakes and almond butter when I logged in this morning and saw 576 activity messages, I was like "UH...!"
I didn't know what else to say!!

<sup>Holaaa =]

I'm going away to Canada for about 10 days! Some small town in Quebec. There will be yoga and meditation and breathing exercises and all that cool stuff, it should be amazing!

I go every summer, I'll be pretty out in the woods with no cell phone coverage.. there are two computers there but there are generally long lines to get on them and I don't really want to be on a lot when I'm there. Maybe a few quick check-ins.

Got the camera gear of course! I'm bringing the digital, the film chinon, and Trish (the holga).
I probably won't be taking a whole lot of photos but it's all very necessary equipment anyhow.</sup>

away






There are so many times when I feel like I'm submerged in thoughts and tiny things that accumulate in my head. I start to feel hot and thirsty and overwhelmed like time collapsed a single second and it's all happening righthererightnow. But then I hear the leaves rustling around me like waves, and I feel a wind brush past me like a soft white sheet, and I breathe the scent of quintessential peace and presence and the comfort it brings. And in this open field things start to expand again.... And now is just... now.

Alright, I seriously laughed out loud when I read the comments so far on this and realized everyone was saying different numbers... and =JillAuville and *bwiti were like oh, just upload them all. So, I did.

Thanks for your comments as always!

I still might do this every now and then, it does help.

Here are the DA thumbs:

Oh, who needs titles all the time.

________________________________________

I have a bunch of pictures I never really posted anywhere or did anything with. I'm curious to hear what you think of them, which ones you like.

1. [link]

2. [link]

3. [link]

4. [link]

5. [link]

I'm going to ask about 5 for now. If you don't think there's anything you like at all in this selection I like hearing that too, and I will take no offense... I basically just need some opinions, I'm terrible at judging my own work.

I might do this every now and then. I hope you don't mind.

Thanks so much!

So I flew into San Diego, CA last night at around... actually, I don't remember. I wasn't feeling so great and I didn't have much water on the plane so I was totally out of it. But I woke up this morning all confused (in an exciting way... you know, when you wake up and don't know where you are for 5 seconds) in the bottom bunk of a hostel room. I've never been to a hostel before, so this will probably take a few days to get used to.

I'm so happy to be in the city though! I'm taking tons of photos so I'll have loads to upload when I get back home some time next week. I might put up a few while I'm here, I'll see what I feel like doing.

Sorry if my responses are way delayed, I'll check my inbox thoroughly later. I hope everyone's having a great start to the summer!

I don't really ever try to pertain to a certain style with my pictures, and I feel like I have so much variety it's hard to make out a distinct style. (Not that that's necessarily a good or bad thing.)








So I'm curious... if you think I have an underlying style, how would you explain it?








^{(This question could be related to either my concepts or my images themselves.)}

I just got back my first holga roll! ...And my second one. I probably went through those a little too fast.

I love love love every single shot, I'll probably end up uploading most of them. Only thing is they're all in black and white, which still looks gorgeous, but I feel like I would enjoy it a lot more if it was in color... there's so much more you can do with color, you know? The photo store in town here runs out of it quickly so I'll have to catch it right when it comes in. It is really interesting shooting in b/w though, first b/w film I've ever shot in. And with a holga it looks even better!

I hope you all enjoy these upcoming shots! I'd love to hear what you think =]]]






From the first roll:



P.S. My holga's name is Trish.

OH SCORE.

I just got a Holga 120N in the mail today!!!</i>

Thanks everyone for telling me I should get one and then reminding me repeatedly after I kept forgetting to order it. Now that it's finally here in my hands I feel as overjoyed as a kangaroo on crack.

I'll pick up some film from the photo store tomorrow and play around with mah first roll!

Given that it's my first roll, however, it probably means nothing will come out. But you really never know.

"Screenshots Of Dreams" is a new series I'm currently working on. It's pretty similar to Shards Of Dreams, but instead of using the digital pinhole, this time I'm using a polaroid (or at least starting off the series with a Polaroid), and more importantly there is a more specific concept...

_________________

__SCREENSHOTS OF DREAMS__
It's based around the idea of a futuristic machine that records your dreams as you sleep. With the DR (Dream Recorder --- yeah, very original product name), you can watch all of the dreams you've ever recorded which are saved on its massive hard drive (which has virtually infinite capacity for files... hundreds of terabytes will be affordable and easy to fit into a decent-sized machine by then), probably upload them to DreamTube (oh that would be a fun one!), and of course take screenshots!

_________________

So, look out for some upcoming screenshots from my DR.

(Note: I don't know how long this series will be, if I'll only shoot in Polaroid, or how frequent my additions will be. I'm really getting into this concept though so I'd love to continue it, I hope you enjoy it too!)

Probably one of my all-time favorite pieces of writing.
