Slides

I had a roll of slide film developed yesterday. It was the first roll of slides that I have ever shot. I really like the way they look, and maybe I’ll find a slide projector sometime. A lightbox and loupe would be nice for evaluating them as well.

For now though, I’ll just scan the ones I like.

Aragorn

‘Elendil!’ he cried. ‘I am Aragorn son of Arathorn, and am called Elessar, the Elfstone, Dúnadan, the heir of Isildur Elendil’s son of Gondor. Here is the Sword that was Broken and is forged again! Will you aid me or thwart me? Choose swiftly!’

These books are awesome.

Photo Portfolio

The photos section of this site is growing large and rather unweildy. Since I have no plans to trim it down, I have decided to make a portfolio of what I feel is my best work so that it may better stand out. Enjoy.

Sarah and Tom

I thought this was a nice picture of Sarah and Tom, and I wanted to share it.

Scanning

I can scan negatives at home now, so I’ve put up a few more of the medium format photographs I took with the old Kodak.

I Think I Ate Too Much

Ben and I were in Kansas City this weekend for the long-awaited Shindig, which was notable not only for the people we spent time with but also for the food we ate. Alex prepared an amazing three course dinner for Saturday night, starting with a salad, then a choice (or combination) of five(?) entrees, and a choice of desserts.

In the morning Alex made French toast, which was enough to hold everyone over until Dinner at Strouds, where we collectively ate three or four chickens and a large quantity of potatoes.

It will be a good idea to hold off on large meals for a few days, I think.

Shindig Tomorrow

I can’t wait. To say I am excited would be a huge understatement.

Professor Ross

I’m going to watch Ross teach in a few minutes. I am very excited.

Almost 24

I’ll be 24 tomorrow, but I don’t really have a whole lot to show for it. No house, no girl, no real job. I’m certainly not taking the short route to the American Dream.

My parents say I decided that I hated the world when I was still a baby, and that I always had to do things on my own, without help. They tell a story of when I was two and didn’t want to cross the street holding my parents’ hands. That after we crossed I ran back across the street to cross it by myself.

Was this just a foreshadowing of my life? I still feel a need to do things on my own. I dislike group projects in general and feel like if I want something done correctly I have to do it on my own. It’s hard for me to trust that someone else will do a good job.

What a bitter way to go through life.

Vigilant Six-20

My first medium format work.
