Check out this website

I've had a few of my Leonardo 4x5 pinhole photos published on this website.

Have a gander a some of the other photographers there.

hoo boy!

I was waiting for the bus yesterday, coming home from the lab. A somewhat attractive (in a punkish way,) young couple strolled up. They stopped and begin to kiss each other. They went at it quite enthusiastically. I turned away, since this is not something I particularly want to see in public. But I was kinda forced to look back when I realized that the girl is staring at me; looking me up and down, then directly in the eyes with an "I want you in my pants" look. She was checking me out, even as she had her tongue down her boyfriend's throat. This really gave me the creeps.

We went to see The Skin of Our Teeth last night. It was good fun.

Tomorrow is World Toy Camera Day. I guess I'll try to take a few shots for it. I hope there will be some sunlight.

ten/twentyfour is also coming up.

wow

It's been a year since I last had a cigarette. I thought about buying a pack and smoking it to celebrate. But then I figured that that wouldn't be a very good idea. Maybe it's time to take up pipe smoking.

My mom had to smack Heather the other day. She went shopping with me and let me buy that new bag, even though she had bought me one the day before. *rolls eyes*

Not much else going on. Just taking photos with the 4x5 pinhole. I even posted one of them on ALTphotos.

After searching Main St., part of Robson, a couple different army surplus stores, and two trips to the maul, I finally got my new bag. It's not perfect, but it's a good compromise between cost, quality and usability. I also think it looks hot.

Bag Shopping: Attempt Number One

I went bag shopping with Heather this afternoon. We checked out a few places on Main St. There were a couple second-hand bags at Lines that looked OK. But I decided I want something new. There was a nice bag at Eugene Choo. But I'm not nearly insecure enough to spend $250 on a bag.

Gorilla Surplus on Broadway was next. Unfortunately, that was a bust. I was a bit surprised, because army surplus places are usually pretty good for bags. That reminds me. I was wishing earlier that I could take the Samsonite gorilla shopping with me. Oh well.

We saw this bag at Mountain Equipment Co-op. It was quite nice, but didn't seem right for me.

If I'm in the mood, I'll try looking again tomorrow. I have a feeling that I'm going to have a hard time locating something that I will find satisfactory.

Looking ratty

I've decided it's time to get a new camera bag. My lomography bag is looking a bit too ratty. I love the design of it, but the construction wasn't so good. The strap is barely hanging on now. I don't know if their new canvas bag is made any better, and I don't want to risk $65 US sight unseen.

Regular camera bags are so boxy and ugly. I don't want a backpack either, since they're awkward to get into.

I might go check some army surplus stores. I might find something durable there. I've been using my old bag that I bought at an army surplus store in New West. But it's a bit too small for my needs. If anyone can suggest some other place to look, please let me know.

ugh.....

Note to self: Don't eat more than two kinds of meat in a single meal.

Now I know what the Memphis Blues feels like.
