just one of this things. you're out, you're goofiing, it happens. yeah i realize there isn't much behind this shot, esp for other people who don't know the dude, but i still get a kick out of it regardless.

...been way too busy to shoot lately. did leave work on time yesterday and explored some of the southside, but i didn't get any inspiration to shoot. probably was in the wrong places, and being on my bike didn't help either. my bike that now has a flat tire because of that journey.. fucking roads down there suck. ugh...

shot an event last weekend at the shedd aquarium. was a fun little gig, got a few good shots, client happy, etc. it was odd, though, because i show up with my setup and them with theirs. i am on fast prime lens with no flash or else highly diffused/indirect flash. they are on their horrible, slow, zoom lenses and direct flash. for the dinner portion of the night, which was held in the aquarium, flash was not allowed. i was the only one even capable of shooting in there! haha. but whatever, to each their own i guess...

working tomorrow (sat). sucks. maybe i will shoot afterwards? if i can get my tire fixed. shooting a wedding in a few weeks. video not stills. hate them but it pays well. i think it will even be on tv. it's some weird thing, i don't know all the details yet. knot.com i think is behind it. they better pay me some more if it is broadcast, though!

found a leica on ebay for pretty cheap last night. i seriously spent a good few hours debating upon it. i had planned to invest in a nikon fm2 with a few nice prime lesnes (28 and 50/1.2), but thought perhaps instead of that go straight for the leica with the 50/2. would probably also have to cancel europe as it ended at ~US$950, but shit, i'd have an m3! reality set in. while it would be fun to own a leica, i don't think i'm at the point where i need one for any reason other than it being cool to have. anyway. don't bid on any old nikons in the next few weeks cause i want them!! :D

okay, back to work. lunch break over. hope all is well with everyone!


yes, graffit, i know.. don't even say it! :p

I just got an old shit-beat FM2 with a coupla lenses last week (found it in a drawer in my new office, go figure - I look forward to it being my first film camera. I would wait on the Leica, bro...that's one of those things that can wait a little while. I'd rather have Europe with a 20D (or FM2 - as =95101 pointed out, you can use the FM2 to thwart robbers and skeevy hookers - it's steel, baby).

indeed, it is, when used well.. though resize/un-sharp mask helps too.
