do I use it or no?
well it looks like another weekend in Chi town for me- I migrate there so often it's ridiculous. Got me a little sweetness down there now- his name is Mike, and he's a total golden boy. My first blond. very fun loving and surfer-ish. And a complete drunkard, so naturally we're a great pair. I'm not so into James- he's quite negative and critical, two...

the prism stuff is technically cool,
but what do they say?
and what is the why?
don't stop working if you don't know though.
i often don't know why i'm shooting things and
all of a sudden everything fits..
also, mmm squares.

Hi. I took a look at your photos and I really like the ash tray,the photos of the stringed instrument that were for the symphony, and some of the nudes were very interesting. I like the neck photo in the nudes particularly. Good luck with your works.
Okay, so I have had probably the MOST humbling moment tonight:
Dick Cheney was at this Gyros restaurant today, and of course I had to cover it. I knew about this in advance, and I tried to dress as conservatively as possible (or at least as conservatively as you can with pink hair and an ear tattoo) to blend in. Only 2 other photographers were...

Ever work a 60 hour workweek and been paid for 45?
Ever feel like your chosen profession, a degreed profession combined with a second degree and previous work experience, gets looked down on like you are a Denny's waitress?
Ever have so much work piled on you you feel like your head might explode and you start shaking and twitching like an itchy bear cub?...

Get thee to a bed. Or at least a good couch.
Holy crap- classic ayem weekend, folks. I went to Chicago Sunday night with a couple of friends, and, you guessed it, things got crazy. I finally got home Monday night after going to and from Milwaukee twice no less; my friend Mando is the pukin'est guy I know, my other friend Em got stranded down there (hence the 2 trips) and basically everyone I went...

Well, I survived my trip. In fooling around on this trip, I am disappointed to report that the crop factor on the digital camera is more of a problem than I thought. My 24mm lens, at 36mm equivalent, isn't wide enough to do anything remotely like what I'm used to doing with a wide. I'm not sure the lens I would need is out there for Nikon. It may be too soon to give up film.
Thanks for inviting me to the gallery night. Maybe we should hang out sometime. I live on the east side about 1 block from The Estate. I should also show you some sculptures one of these days.

OMG my new job is rugged like Schwartzenegger in his early days. My new motto? "suck it up; rub some dirt on it"

Thanks! I feel like a big shot now with inside connections an' shit. I guess I better start rummaging through my box to collect the negatives in question. This part might not be so fun. Since I used to do everything through a retail photo developer, my organization system was basically sprawling piles of 4x6 print envelopes...
My last toy for a while just arrived: a 24mm/f1.8 lens, made by Sigma. The fact that such a fast, wide lens exists for so cheap kind of blows my mind. And it seems to compare favorably to similar Canon L lenses in tests that cost about 5 times as much. Unfortunately, with the crop factor, it's more like a much less impressive 36 for digital. I look forward to the day when full-frame sensors come down into a reasonable price range - that crop factor business blows.

Specs-wise, this is probably the fastest and cheapest, and the cheapest retailer::

http://www.digitalfotoclub.com/sc/from-pricegrabber.asp?id=964589911&rf=pg&dfdate=10_06_2004
I just bought my sigma from this retailer. Saved $50 and no problems. They'll save you $100 on that zoom.
Holy crap! They've got the grey market Nikkor for almost the same price:
http://www.digitalfotoclub.com/sc/from-pricegrabber.asp?id=645523054&rf=pg&dfdate=10_06_2004
That's insane. The retail on that is $1400.

So the Kenosha art fair was a lot of fun. I sold 2 pieces, and traded one for this really cool print. artman and needie were charming as usual, and I hung out with more super cool sg peeps as well. This was my first outdoor show; I need to invest in a tent but the weather weather was bee-yoo-tee-ful for Wisconsin falltime- it still...

Okay, so plan B is this: pictures shot through a prism, only of Riverside park, where there are tons of tangled tree branches and wildflowers right beside slabs of graffiti choked concrete. A nice juxtaposition that will look even weirder and more confusing oncew visually split by the prism. Cool?

Sorry so absent, peeps, so here is the xtra chunky big n' hefty journal entry I promised. So I went out to San Diego to see this boy I had been involved with on and off for several years. He actually did a good job of pissing me off on and off for several years, but for some inexplicable reason every time I would tell...

Yes, watching animals is indeed amazing. They don't hold back those natural instinctive actions as much as we do living in weird made up worlds.........
anyhow imagining you there with the cow poop made me smile, I hope you are well.
Love, Lil

So here are the awaited Donkey Punch pictures. (see pics folder) This was a bondage show I shot at Mantra Lounge in the Mil, as a favor to DJ Crisgo Disco, who spun for free at my gallery opening. It was a helluva party, as you will see, and I only regret that I have no pictures of myself, and that I don't have the...

nice photos! i love motion and shakiness
Edit: I mean the motion in the Donkey Punch pictures, # 1 and 12.
Also, I like the Abstract pictures # 8 - 15. They really are like paintings with the oversaturated colors.
