the day i shot this, just minutes prior to taking this frame, i found three rolls of fuji velvia on the ground. i thought, given the nice blue sky and strong colours that day, that shooting some slide film would be a great idea. but i see in black and white, and this is closer to how i felt that day. the velvia is still in the fridge…

don’t forget to regularly maintain your tripod. like any other quality piece of equipment they need to be taken care of to be their best, so they can take care of you. i was reminded of this when my camera almost tumbled off my tripod when the quick release latch came completely off because a bolt was loose and finally ejected itself from the assembly. it could have been an expensive accident. luckily nobody was hurt in the ordeal, only a few heart palpitations. more photos coming soon.
until next time, friends…
had a bit of a tricky time holding the camera that day

i just wanted to draw attention to the beastie boys for a second. as you may have heard, adam yauch, a.k.a mca, passed away earlier today after a long battle with cancer. i am a big music fan and have been a following the beastie boys for almost 20 years, and the impact their music has had on me is nothing short of profound. their inane wit, musicianship, and rapping skills were second to none. so it is with great sadness that i wish his family my most sincere condolences; the world is worse for their loss.
you probably also know that mr. yauch was a practicing buddhist and an activist whose efforts were focused on tibetan sovereignty. here’s a clip of one of the many tibetan freedom concerts held in the us in the late 90s and early 2000s. please enjoy.
rest in peace.
just going through some old polaroids. there are some good ones in there.
