Yeay!

I just published my first book. Sure, it only took me two hours to lay out and I will probably be the only one to ever own one, but I think it's going to be a nice thing to have, if only for novelty reasons. How cool is that to have a whole hardcover book of your photos?

I am really into photography right now. Part of it is because it's spring and everything is beautiful, and part of it is because I am developing some actual skills. Meaning, what I am TRYING to photograph is actually coming to fruitation more and more often. For years and years that never happened. The photo I took never matched the image in my mind.

I have a million photos of blurry cats, blurry flowers, and blurry gi joe's being attacked by blurry monsters. Overexposed pics of the sun, underexposed pics of the moon... a hundred wasted rolls of film trail behind me like peanut shells at a circus.

Thank God for digital cameras. I can't imagine how people ever learned to take decent pictures back in the days before you could guiltlessly shoot 100 shots, delete them, and shoot a hundred more. Some things really rock about being alive right now. Digital Cameras, Instant Messaging, Self Publishing, Blogs, CD burners, cell phones, microwaves... funny I'd include microwaves, I have a catalog from 1975 because I thought it'd be cool to have one from when I was born and there are microwaves in there already... pens that have ink that dries instantly.. bic razors.. denim with stretch.. ahha.. but not too much stretch...

I know I am going nowhere here.

My sister is coming in 2 weeks to visit me! Yippeeeeee! We're going swimming,and to the zoo, and to sweet lorraine's for dinner, and who knows what else. My girlfriend is having her own 'girls night out' that night so it should be just me and my sister. Never know tho... I mean, I don't mind if someone joins us.. but it has to be someone who likes the zoo and swimming and eating at sweet lorraines!

WOW I am a ramblin' mother fucker...!
