SPRING BREAK <3

New York this week.

I will dive into my film-picture-taking head first.

Fisheye. Multiple exposures. Here I come.

and as for spring break...

New York <3

March 8th-14th (tentatively)

A week with Brian is long over due, even if he was just here last week...

I will add that I am very excited to use my new Lomos in NY. In a place like that with all the people and culture I have a lot more room and opportunity to make some great images. So I figure while Brian is off at work I can go off on my own (which I have yet to really do in that city) and explore, appreciate, and take it all in. The last trip up there I was too cold to bother getting my XT out and would just be looking down at the ground anyway while walking cause it was so windy. But not this next time! I'll be braving it. I haven't had to buy film really for a few years now it's going to be a pain spending that much money again so often. 

And don't get me started on how expensive polaroid film is. I have five polaroid cameras that I got at the thrift store not too long ago, but have yet to see if any of them work. *crosses fingers*! 

goal for the week was...

to stay awake during a movie.

It was a success!

Brian brought The Prestige and I haven't watched a movie in awhile that really made me think, to the point where I wanted to watch it again to fully understand and appreciate how detailed it was. It wasn't a big blockbuster because it actually had depth, but it was critically acclaimed, and rightfully so. I borrowed it from him on the promise I'd return it when I go back to NY... but I may accidentally forget it...

If you're a fan of: Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, Scarlett Johanson, Michael Cane, or David Bowie (YES David Bowie is in this) - then go rent it/buy it/come over and watch it with me - it's certainly worth it.

WIR (week in review)

This week Brian came to visit for a few days. With the limited time he was here I tried to show him a few highlights of Memphis...

Graceland (note "Addison" in the lower left, that's me! and "BR" in the upper right is Brian!)
