Okay, four days have gone by and I need to update. I know, I'm trying to be better at this than what I was. We'll see what happens.

Okay, much to talk about and I have very little time as I need to get back to writing. Writing what you might ask...well I am now the newest writer for Current Photographer. You can check them out here at currentphotographer.com. I already feel bad though. I have two more tip blogs already in the system (I write a weekly blog for them about what I call "Street Photography"), but now, as my new blog has to be in by my deadline tomorrow (never knew that I would work on at a website that was so much like a newspaper...kinda funny) and I really have no idea what I'm going to write about, yet. It is kinda funny though because I've already been called the "Anthony Bourdain" of photography based on some of the previews of blogs that I have shown people...I'm a little nervous about that.

Oh well, in other news. I finally went back to the Lawrence Arts Center yesterday because they told me that they had the 4x5 enlarger fixed. Guess what....THEY DID!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy shit I was shocked. So finally I was able to go through and print off some of my 4x5 film that has just been waiting and waiting and waiting for almost three weeks now to be printed. And I am so pleased with the results. So without further wait, I shall go through and share some of my new photographs with you...And mind you, these photos were taken with a handmade 4x5 camera that I made myself, half drunk in my dad's sheet metal shop. First the camera and then a new photo or two.


My beautiful and quickly becoming famous 4x5 pinhole camera...


one of my favorites that came out of yesterday's darkroom session.


another one of my favorites. It fucking better be...took me almost 20 minutes to develop the damn thing, but it came out beautiful.

And that is all for the preview for now. Check out the blog to see more, or tell your local gallery to do an exhibition of my work.

Outside of that...I am going to go be submitting my screenplay that I wrote two years ago to a contest for screenwriters finally. I am not a screenwriter, nor have I ever planed on being one. I wrote this for a screenwriting class that I took for an English Credit, and my teacher liked it so much that I was one of the very few who actually got an A in the class and he highly suggested that I go through and enter it into a couple of contest to see what happens...so that is my plan...I hope that it doesn't get laughed out of the contest, but one never knows.

And that is it for now. I'll talk to you all in a couple of days. I guess I'll just have to go through and try and write some more to meet my deadline tomorrow.
