Mixing things up

Sun, 19 May 2013 07:51:00 -0400

Yesterday was to be a day of photographing. By 7:00am I had packed up 2 bags and was ready to roll. I sat for a few minutes thinking of what I might like to shoot. Then I sat for a few more minutes. The next thing I knew it was early evening and I had nothing. Banana and Bratwurst

Failed at photography yesterday, so I punted.

I’ve been smiling because of this for like 4 hours now.

Styx - 22 Years

It’s good to remember that Styx wasn’t always just Dennis DeYoung singing crappy pop ballads.

The 11-Month Pre-Announcement Period: The new Canikonyonicus X43Tid is going to be the last camera you will ever need. It redefines photography as we know it.

The Three-Month Pre-Order Period: Duplicate orders placed through Amazon and B&H.

I’ve never experienced any of this. Nope. None at all.

The new Nick Cave record came with a 45. Nice thing is that it has a “normal” sized hole; no adapter required.

“This is the room of the wolfmother wallpaper. The toadstool motel you once thought a mere folk tale, a corny, obsolete, rural invention. … What room is this? This is the room where the antler carved the pumpkin. This is the room where the gutter pipes drank the moonlight. This is the room where moss gradually silenced the treasure, rubies being the last to go. Transmissions from insect antennae were monitored in this room. It’s amazing how often their broadcasts referred to the stars.”
