"first thing we'd climb a tree

and maybe then we'd talk

or sit silently

and listen to our thoughts,

with illusions of someday

casting a golden light.

no dress rehearsal,

this is our life.

that's when the hornet stung me

and I had a feverish dream

with revenge and doubt;

tonight we smoke them out."

"Ahead By a Century", The Tragically Hip

I take pictures of food and plants and my pets. I like old things and movies and the careful act of preservation. I'm trying to bring '30s slang back. I am a frustrated everything. That's pretty much the situation.

I take my photos with a Pentax Optio M50, a Nikon D40, and a trusty old Pentax K1000, stolen from my mother, which is held together largely with duct tape at this point.
