    • to my family of cameras. i bought it off ebay for 99 cents, and i can't wait to get some 620 film and shoot some stuff. first of course, i have to learn how to work the darn thing. i was just so asthetically mesmerized with box cameras after watching
  • a lot like love
    • that i immediately got on ebay to look for one. i hope i can use it, but if not, it'll make for a cool decoration piece.

    my family and i are going to yosemite this weekend. this will be a fun but bittersweet trip. yosemite is one of my dad's favorite places in the whole world, and i am sad that he is unable to go with us. i still remember going up to yosemite falls on his shoulders and standing under them letting the mist fall on our faces. and the first and only time i went backpacking with him. i never thought we were going to stop walking. my dad can seriously walk forever. i think i'm going to test myself and see how much i can walk on this trip. it's going to be awesome, and of course i will be taking my 35mm pentax.

    Cinequest Film Festival is taking over Downtown San Jose as we speak, and last night I went to the California Theatre to check out Tenacious DTour , a documentary that followed the D on their world tour in support of The Pick of Destiny . A funny thing happened when my friend and I went to pick out seats. We ended up sitting right next to Kyle Gass and his girlfriend. for those of you who aren't familiar with who he is, he's the other guy in the band who's not Jack Black. We had our momentary silent freak out when we realized it was him, at which point I quietly leaned over and told him he was awesome. He quietly thanked me, and normalcy was restored until a few kids came over asking for autographs. He obliged but soon realized the mini pencil he was given to sign with wasn't going to work. Thanks to my new Andy Warhol Happy Bug Day tote bag, complete with handy organizational top compartment, i had easy access to my pen. I handed it over with great joy, and he was abl

    awaiting the arrival of the great pumpkin

    happy halloween everyone! tonight is the night that all of the little ones have been waiting for all year. i remember being going trick or treating as a kid and the smell of mixed candies and pillowcases, the stomach ache you'd get from consuming 1/2 your bagworth an hour after you'd get home, and protecting what was left of your stash from the hungry hands of those around you. I used to hide a lot of my candy, and then forget about it and find it a year later, gooey and stuck to a notebook in the back of my closet. Now that i am older, however, my halloween usually takes place at a party the weekend before the big day. This year, i once again ventured to Pasadena to celebrate with my friends Liz and Melanie. here is a short re-cap of the trip highlights - to combat my discomfort when flying, i had a few drinks, became very relaxed and accidently left my id on the plane. i needed a new one anyway. the picture on my old one was from, like, 8 years ago. -i re-aquainted myself wit
