Stupid Swine Flu.......

So I'm stuck inside my apartment for a week. This is wholly unfair. I don't even eat pigs! In fact, I frequently comment on how intelligent and emotionally evolved pigs are. And yet this is how they repay me. Motherfuckers. Well if we learned anything from Charlotte's Web, it's that pigs are jerks. You knit them some nice messages with your web and in return they give you the goddamn Pig A.I.D.S. and then you die but not before the farmer comes in and kills all your spider children and awards the pig some sort of prize for training the sheep dog.....or something. (Full Disclosure: I never read Charlotte's Web, but I did see it at the video store once. Granted, I rented Red Dawn instead, but I think we can all agree it's the same basic story). Besides, you know who should have got this thing if there were any justice in this world?  

Tristan. I think it's obvious why.

Oh yeah, I took this photo a few nights ago by my house. Go Wolverines!

Update:  I forgot to mention, I do plan on spending this time productively. I'm growing a boss (read: not very boss) quarantine moustache! I'll let you know how it goes.

Walking Home.

After hanging out with my cousin Erin last month I ended up walking home from downtown, part of which involves a trek over the Cambie Street bridge. I happened to have my camera and tri-pod at the time so I figured I'd shoot a roll, including this rather adorably sullen one of Erin sitting outside my office. These were taken during the middle of Robson square getting it's Olympic face lift, hence all the scaffolding. I kind of like the one of the streetlight.

Parksville Sure Is A Fun Place......

Okay, that was a lie.

This past Thanksgiving I went to visit my mother's side of the family and that meant driving up-island to Butt-Fuck Nowhere just past Parksville. There isn't really a whole lot to do and if I'd been raised there I think I would have developed a pretty cool drug addiction. However there is a total lack of light pollution so I thought it would be an interesting opportunity to see what kind of shots I could get of stars. So once it got dark I grabbed my cousin Olivia and with her as my guide through the wilderness we endeavored to go get some shots. I'm not thrilled with the results but probably the most important thing I learned is just how quickly you start to see star tracks when holding the shutter. The world spins pretty fast I guess.

So This Is My Blog.........

I'm starting this blog as a way to more frequently update photos without having to re-arrange my website every time. Also, it's a good place to post photos that won't ever make it into any particular sets or otherwise see the light of day. Once I get into the swing of things, I'll most likely start to abuse the space and just post rants about stuff I like/don't really like at all.

I hope you like my stuff.
