Get Yer Kicks
Monday, November 26, 2007  I love fall. I love the colors of the leaves, I love the crisp breeze. I love fianally being able to wear jeans and sweaters after a summer of sundresses. And I especially love my new sneakers. They're bright as gingko leaves and comfy as an old hoodie. This photo is surprisingly popular on flickr -- who knows why. Shots that I think exquisitely beautiful get thirty-four hits and others are inexplicably faved and commented on for reasons unknown. People seem to like this one. Perhaps it's the vibrant fallen leaves. Maybe it's the clown-like quality of the shoes. Or it could just be that everyone is ready for fall. It's taken long enough for it to come this year.

By Withdrawal Saturday, May 19, 2007 Today is day three without my camera. I had to send it off to the Canon Service Center in New Jersey to have a little underexposure problem fixed. I feel absolutely lost without it, but at least my back hasn't been hurting from lugging it around. Tonight I've been posting old scanned college photos to flickr, mostly ones I scanned a while ago and then never cleaned up. Man, I look young in those photos. So fresh faced. Baby-like. Teeny tiny. It's weird to think I went off to college seventeen years ago. Which means, of course, my twenty year high school reunion is right around the corner. Insane. I didn't even go to the ten year reunion. I would have gone if any of my friends had, but they all live on the west coast and no one wanted to shell out that much travellin' money to go to a stupid reunion. Can't say I blame them. Jeez, I want my camera back. And I really wish I could fall asleep before 2 AM. Labels: camera, photography posted at 11:19 PM . link to this post . .

0 Comments:Face It Wednesday, May 02, 2007  So I ended up getting a Lensbaby. Surprise, surprise. I've taken lots of sublimely blurry pictures recently. Actually, I've taken lots of pictures, period. I'm doing this thing called "365 Days" in which I take a self portrait every day for a year and upload it to the 365 Days Flickr group. I'm up to day 130. One hundred thirty days of me and (miraculously) I haven't missed a single one yet. I have, however, become absolutely sick of my face. Seriously. I don't always do a portrait, since the concept can be stretched to other body parts. When I'm really lazy I simply take a picture of my hand petting my cat or which socks I wore that day (although I might have to cool it with the socks because the foot fetishists are enjoying that waaay too much.) But back to my face. I really didn't think I would get so freaking sick it. I mean, I see it every day in the mirror. Doesn't bother me so much there.  And I've always been keen on taking self portraits. After all, I'm my most readily available human model and I don't usually complain about endless re-takes. It's just really hard to come up with something different every day. And sometimes my hair looks like crap. And sometimes I don't feel like putting on lip gloss, but if I don't I look like a zombie because my lips are naturally the color of death (oh how goth.) And then there's my newly crooked nose. Stupid doorknob, why-oh-why did you have to get in my way? Sigh. I'm back to exercising and today I did the video that alternates aerobics with strength training  . I used three pound weights and now my legs hurt so bad. Muscles I didn't even know I had are singing in pain. I hope I'm able to walk with out a noticeable limp tomorrow. My greatest wish is that this time I will actually lose some weight before I injure myself. Maybe if I tone up I can take a picture of my entire body for a 365 portrait. What a novel idea. I have 235 days left to shape up.Labels: exercise, lensbaby, photography posted at 10:57 PM . link to this post . .

0 Comments:Indecision Friday, April 13, 2007  I've been trying to figure out what to get with my birthday money. It's not enough to drop on a really good lens , but it's just the right amount to get something fun. I was vacillating between the Lensbaby 3G or the Fujifilm Finepix F31fd . I love my old F10 and it has served me well, but the lens is scratched. I don't use a point and shoot too much anyway, now that Kyle got me the XTi , but it's a good thing to have when I don't feel like lugging the Canon around. On the other hand, I love the look of the Lensbaby. I rented a Lensbaby 2.0 for two weeks and I got some good shots with it, but it's hard to focus. I heard the Lensbaby 3G is easier to handle and also easier on the hands. Focusing the 2.0 gave me major hand cramps. So after much consideration I think I'm going to go with the Lensbaby. Perhaps. I'm sure my Photostream will soon give you a clue as to which way I went.Labels: birthday, camera, lensbaby, photography posted at 3:06 PM . link to this post . .

0 Comments:Making Nice Thursday, February 01, 2007  Yes, I'm obsessed with my rotten dog and my new camera. I got this shirt at Target. It's part of their "Urban Rocker" collection. I also got her a matching puffy black hoddie that says "SECURITY" on the back, but -- alas -- it's too small. It must go back.I signed up for a class, a photography class, that starts next Tuesday. It's at Cooper Union. I don't know if the class will be any good; perhaps I'm too advanced an amateur to learn anything new there, but I figure it will be fun to say "I'm taking a class at Cooper Union." Also, it's good for me to get out of the house. Mingle with other people. You know, be social. My only fear is that I will have a rerun of my Machine Knitting course where the most annoying, energy-suck of a woman attached herself to me for the duration of the class. You know what I mean, one of those people who interrupts the teacher mid-sentence with inane comments, the one who walks in late and expects class to start over from the beginning, the one who tells me way too many graphic details about her sex life while putting her finger in my Whole Foods soup just to taste. The one who got a little "Fatal Attraction" on me when I started avoiding her by going to McDonald's for lunch. Somehow, these are the people I tend to attract -- I don't know why. Years ago I took an "Artist's Way" class wherein a paunchy, very-married guy confided he wanted to have sex with me. This is what I get for walking through Washington Square Park with a stranger during lunch hour. How do my half-hearted attempts to better myself and integrate with my fellow man always end in conversation-stifling catastrophe? There is no easy answer to this question. Maybe there is no answer at all. This time, however, I will try my best to meet some normal people. Perhaps the Goddess of Slight Acquaintances will smile benevolently down upon me. I sure hope so.
