works and such
Christmas with my mom in digital
I made a gingerbread house and it turns out arts and crafts is not my forte anymore. While things were falling apart and the roof started sinking in zombie men came and attacked.
So for round two my mom and I tried to make a ginger tree, and with the instructions to make the icing snow-like, attempt a drippy affect……well um it didn’t work out in a mature fashion.
But in real life my mom’s Christmas tree was beautiful, skinny and crowded.
New cameras are great but even better are close friends who salvage old cameras for you. So I tried out some PX from the impossible project and this is what I got with a camera who sometimes forgets to eject the image….
Ooooh and gold frames :)
In September 2011, the weekend of Mexican Independence, a dear friend of mine invited me to a wedding. The wedding itself was a beautiful experience in the Space Needle, but most appreciated was the atmosphere and the company. It’s easy to forget that you can resemble home even in locations that are not specifically there, as long as there is love, mariachis, and an old friend that takes you there. I met some awesome and talented people there, but I appreciate most learning where I am now from being misplaced. Thank you Peter, I can’t begin to express what that time meant.
Memento Mori.
After walking through downtown as the riot began to peak, I made sure to get home and hid until my friend left and soon after called me to check out the streets. I walked a few blocks but was most amazed when only a couple of blocks from my place I found the entrails of downtown Vancouver leaking closer to home. Months later I’m still not even sure how to speak of the event, but I found something I posted on facebook the morning after that at least encapsulates how I felt then.
“i am appalled and disheartened. how are you to trust a community that will attack itself enacted almost as a means of entertainment. was nobody listening when our gift of public school systems tried to teach humanity and good morals? sure the ideal upbringing is rare but if you’ve got anger seek out a means that your self doesn’t affect the well-beings of your neighbours. we are not entitled to more than our human rights and last night an arrogance was shit on the face of what i would say is why we are fucking lucky to live in this country. if you have looted you have disappointed. if you have attacked you have hurt. if there is any say for reality i hope its going out and seeing how we can help today!”
I only took one shot that night on some 4×5…
