Miles Fell in the Mud and Turned 23.

Yesterday was Miles' twenty-third birthday. We did birthday things and hung around, went on a long walk, bought records and checked out tattoo shops. We had a super fancy dinner and proceeded to get wasted. Alot of good people came out for the festivities, we hung out in the park and I took a "nap". I am hungover and have to go to work soon, so, pictures! All photos taken with the Canon Rebel. Hollar!

Expired! Expired! Read All About It!

Expired film is a bitch. Sometimes it shows you magical colors. Sometimes it makes your hot and sexy friends look like grandparents. Sometimes it doesnt matter because its still a polaroid and you love it. So, if expired film is so difficult, why do I use it? Its cheaper and its a gamble. Duh.

I feel like I haven't posted in forever, and the truth is, not alot has been happening. I had a small camera tragedy, and I've had some San Francisco blues the past week or two. Yesterday I finally made a break into the social circle I'm apart of and we BBQ'ed. It was an early celebration with our Petaluma lovers for Miles' upcoming birthday. We ate a lot of grilled things, threw darts, took photos, and drank beers. All in all it was a delicious BBQ. I took some digital photos with the Canon Rebel and some polaorids with expired film. I miss feeling good enough to photo, draw, and go out. I need to get happy.

I am experimenting with light and exposure.
It's delicious.
Miles helped me with most of these. He is handsome.

Sleepy and Quiet and Foggy and Cold.

I fell off my bike on Friday and since then, haven't had much use of my right hand. As I am a right handed lady, this has left me quite motionless in the creativity department. I've been spending too much time pawning over Whale Watching trips and the grand opening of the California Academy of Science building in Golden Gate. I'm a total nerd. I thought I would post some pretty photos I took prior to injuring this blasphemous hand of mine, enjoy.

Picture 1&2: My friends have a gorgeous house.
Picture 2: I have a shark tattoo thats hard to photograph.
Picture 3: Kathleen the Queen as a Monkey Man. Photoshopped.

Always an Inspiration...

Circus Circus

What happens when our faces come off? What if we are gorilla boys and fire eaters and catapault heroes? What if we awoke each morning in a colorful tent covered in firecrackers and musk? What if we went to work taming tigers and decorating ostritch feathers? We carry on our business as waitors, clerks, commuters, and tellers, but when we get home we step through doors and crawl under beds to become who we are; in our imaginations, in our dreams, in our nightmares.
