that nscad wearable art show was great. the clothes the music it was so chic in a oo-la-la kind of way. it was super crowded and b and i didn't have any space to take pictures for the show. also, people kept saying i was in their way. i should have told them i was the show photographer but instead i squated in the isle the whole time and would jump up to shoot when the models came out.
i walked with a limp today and had to walk down stairs one at a time and grasping the handrails.
something nice happened last night though.
i met someone who left me a cute note awhile ago in a book i was reading. it made me happy. i told him i kept the letter.
hopefully tomorrow will be filled to the brim. a photoshoot, sin city with j and maybe a concert with kathy

best say anything line: "if you start out depressed everything seems like a pleasant surprise."

the best parts of anna karenin:

"standing in chruch at the first service, Levin tried to revive his youthful recollections of intense religious emotion he had experienced between the ages of sixteen and seventeen. but he was immediatly convinced that it was out of his power to do so. he attempted to look on it all as a meaningless, empty custom, like the custom of paying calls, but he felt he could not do that either. like the majority of his contemporaries, levin found himself in the vaguest position in regard to religion. believe it he could not, and at the same time he had no firm conviction that it was all untrue. and so, unable either to believe in the significance of what he was doing or to regard it with indifference as an empty formality, all the time preparing for the sacrament he was conscious of a feeling of discomfort and shame at taking part in something he did not understand, which was therfore, an inner voice told him, deceitful and wrong of him"

"he knew she was there by the joy and the terror that seized his heart. she was standing there talking to a lady at the opposite end of the rink. there was apparently nothing particularly striking either in her dress or her attitude; but for levin it was as easy to find her in that crowd as to see a rose among nettles. she made everything bright. she was the smile that shed light on all around her.'can i really step on to the ice and go up to her?' he wondered. the spot where she stood seemed to him unapproachable holy ground and there was one moment when he nearly turned away, so filled with awe was he. he had to make an effort and reason with himsel that all sorts of people were moving about her and that he too might come there just to skate. he walked down, for a long while averting his eyes from her, as though she were the sun, but seeing her, as one sees the sun, without looking."

if there was ever a movie that made me want to move to the country, grow my own vegetables and never own a car, cellphone or palmpilot, it's Koyaaniqatsi. it's an hour and a half long documentary, no dialogue, only music and images and i think everyone should see this movie. (even if it makes you sleepy)

ko.yaa.nis.katsi (from the Hopi language), n. 1. crazy life. 2. life in turmoil. 3. life disintegrating. 4. life out of balance. 5. a state of life that calls for another way of living.

i like slow motion, fast motion and stop motion. 

"it was as if there was something abstract in his expression-it made him colourless. as if a living human face had become an embodiment of a principle, the image of an idea."

"how well she does everything! she reads not as if reading were the highest human activity, but as if it were the simplest possible thing, a thing which even animals could do. as if she were carrying water from a well or peeling potatoes."

-Dr. Zhivago

hey so i'm hardly ever on here anymore but i would like to say thank you to nicole and kathy for still checking up on me and kathy thanks for making links to everyone's web site...now i can actually visit other people's blogs.
there is nothing really new except for the fact the the end of the semester is actually coming up soon and i'm scared to death....i love photography more than i ever have and i have a bunch of ideas i'd like to pursue:
people in weird places, vintage glamour shots, harlem nocturne, pictures that are random and don't make sense, trading lives, before/after, tea parties, lives in a box, and little rooms.
i really wish i could use the photo lab all summer long...
jason went to mexico and instead of taking me i gave him my camera.
i'm excited to see some photos of mexican sunsets and lots of orange old people on vacation.
