Susan Sontag

On photography:

America, that surreal country, is full of found objects. Our junk has become art. Our junk has become history.

this is one of the greatest things i have ever read. by susan sontag

learning

learning hurts the brain. just a little like when it comes to reading and reading. you know that kind of stuff. today i went over how to make a web site thingy, its getting more and more interesting by the day. i hope to have that up and running by the end of the semester.

nerdsville

I am the biggest nerd that i know. this week as gone extremely well for me...barnes and nobles called i got their transfer, the photo lab here accepted my application. and my status change from 2nd year to 3rd year and they added 6 more credits to my check list. so far thats great and im excited.

i was talking to the studio manager at school about how i want to build a 8x10 camera and 2 panorama cameras this semester. and all the stuff that i find interesting in the lab. along with fixing and modifying camera equipment and he laughed because the NERD in me came out.

i love being a photoGEEk

normal-ish

who really is normal, i feel very strongly that i am normal and everyone else around me is a little bit off the beaten path. i am polite and well mannered, i chew with my mouth closed and i take a shower every day. those are just the simplest of normal-ish.

for the past few days i have been trying to get school taken care of. moving classes around and thinking way to hard about what i should do next. the sad thing about this process is meeting with some of my class mates. they are all clearly really young. i feel like an old hag with all these young hip kids. has my time come and passed? or an i here as a mover. we;ll see. i want to move the world and take it my way, the normal-ish way.

coney island

today i went to class and realized that im old. well at least 4 years older then the kids i have around me. no fun.
so to make myself feel younger i ventured to coney island by myself. how independent is that.... well i walked around and took pictures, i was able to get images with hardly anyone in the shot. that was awesome. total landscapes.

there was a man in a group of people that was coxed to take out his member to show to his group of friends,. i heard everything that was going on but luckily was too far to see anything. thank god.

karmina and i made a new friend he;s from jersey, and does film. art friends woohoo. we make the best of friends. ideas ideas

clarity

i want to sit here and let the sun and sky talk to me all day long. i simple place.

jungle gyms

today i realized that im out of shape. i tried to do a pull up and fell off the bars. this older woman laughed.

and again im learning not to talk to strangers because they are scary.

sweetness

i miss the open sky
