The body for this rat rod truck was rescued from a lake bottom in New York! A cool ride. The № 5 was repainted, and presumably the truck was part of some sort of fleet back in its day.

Where
Working all day and then getting Chinese takeout and a movie with my mom :)
Why
I bought this skirt early last year in super sale at Old Navy, but haven't ever worn it because I then went through a phase where I decided I hated denim skirts. I actually saw someone with a really awesome outfit on and I realized, Hey, I have that skirt! So here is my grey denim pencil skirt revival. I actually really did like the way the outfit turned out though. It was casual, but at the same time cute and put together enough for work.
On a more personal note, besides dressing nice, what makes you feel better when you're down? My mom and I used to fight all the time, but ever since college we've gotten SO much closer, hence the Chinese food and movie night, which definitely does make those not-so-awesome days much better :)

5.Desire
As an initial disclaimer for this piece, the heart that I used is an animal heart that I got from a biological classroom supply company. It was part of some sort of a classroom dissection kit, and I wanted to use it to really communicate this concept effectively.
For this prompt I not only defined desire, but also illustrated the ramifications of desire. In actuality desire has a very open definition, and when looking through the definitions given for desire in the dictionary, I felt that they were so rigid that they were almost untrue. Desire really has no rigid definition, it's not entirely a verb or a noun, nor is it purely an emotion or an object. Desire is so complex that it cannot be labeled in one way. So for this prompt I have created a book with photos to illustrate a less rigid, yet still defined definition of the basic similarities of most examples of desire, and the ramifications of desire. I chose to specifically concentrate more on the emotional aspects of desire, viewed in a slightly humanized way. My book is designed to also illustrate the ramifications of each aspect of desire, while the poem defines it. I also chose to make the cover text reflective and almost reminiscent of a mirror to depict how personal definitions of desire reflect upon the individual.
Specifically the first page is intended to illustrate how desire will consume you, and the very serious results of this. I felt the heart was fitting because in both a very trite and a more serious symbology, it depicts giving up your life, which is the emotional aftermath of when desire consumes and creates "reaping feelings" as I said. I felt this part of my definition had the most serious ramifications, so therefore the photo used to illustrate it needed to be equally serious to depict and communicate this accurately. The second page is intended to depict how desire leaves us with humanized ideas of actuality, and the conclusion of this is that we are left somewhat isolated with a distorted vision of events. The third page is intended to follow this same concept in that desire makes us break apart our visions of events to create objective pasts. It is actually proven by many scientific experiments that our memory is mostly made up of small series that we continue to tell ourselves, and I feel that desire is a factor that changes how we choose to remember things. The result of this is a distorted view of the past, which can constantly change us. The fourth page is intended to depict how desire is really just a series of lies that we create, which will leave aspects of our lives empty. This creates an empty and isolated life, which is depicted by the symbolism of blood for life, used in a scene that represents isolation. I also feel that it depicts the rituals that a vapid lifestyle creates. For my last page I wanted to define what desire is confined by, which is the "cage" humanity lives in. This metaphorical cage is defined by both social aspects and mortality, which are essentially most of what also creates and confines desire. This creates the reality that whether we embrace or resent desire we are all bound by the same fragility. So to depict this I wanted to illustrate it somewhat literally, while also alluding back to my concept on the first page.

Industar-61 L/D, the FED-5's standard lens. The L stands for lanthane, glass coating of the lens. Lanthane is apparent a radioactive element, but its level is very low and harmless for humans, when measured with a radiation meter, the actual radiation given off by these lens is less than the background radiation.
The FED-5 was known in the western community with Radioactive FED.
The D stands for "dalnomernaya", which means "rangefinder type".
This camera was a cosmetic re-design of the FED-4. Although there was very little change to the overall camera it looks much better than its' predecessor. The meter is very well integrated into the top deck with the rewind knob now in the center of the meter dial.
A few variations exists, the export model and the 1980 Moscow Games.

I made Allison come with me as i did another stranger search, and after being very picky we finally (well i) chose her. We introduced ourselves, gave her my card (got one from moo !!, so good) took her photo. i was also excited to be using my new 85 1.4 (manual focus), but i realized later that i mistakenly bumped the f-stop to 2.8 (ouch), but that's not so much of a big deal.
my worst regret with this encounter is that neither i nor Allison remembered to ask for her name, i've waited for almost 3 weeks for her to contact me as a name on the face would be splendid. but that didn't work out too well, so i guess i'll learn from this !

Cookie :) Not the sharpest picture in my book, but the best one from the session and I didn't have any other shots. This takes a lot of practice I guess, but I don't think Iggy will mind that.

"The Authentic Guide to Russian and Soviet Cameras" by Jean Loup Princelle says:
"Like their counterparts at KMZ a few years earlier, the R&D engineers at Arsenal tried to break the mold and escape from the "original model". Si, still based on the Kiev-4, but with a revised top shutter speed of 1/1000s., a lever wind, an enlarged viewfinder with frame lines, Arsenal introduced to the Soviet press sometime around 1965 a new camera that benefitted from a modern concept: Kiev-5."

I have been toying with myself about posting this picture all week. I don't usually take many shots of people for various reasons.. here is one.
Flinders Street station, with the other flickrpeeps, waiting for some to catch up.
This guy caught my eye, I didn't think I caught his. I quickly snapped...no probs.
A few minutes later, he came over, and said that I had to give him $5 for the picture I just took of him. I told him I didn't have $5, and things started to get slightly ugly.
He then told me to give him the film, when I told him it was digital he got more pissed, and I deleted the photo - well one of them in front of him..
He went on and on, telling me to give him $5 - to get money off my friends and give it to him.
I just started to move away and he started abusing me, with all kinds of insults - telling me he would smash my camera in my face...Until we met with the others and pretty much crossed the road.
Did I do the wrong thing?
Should I have uploaded at all?
Should I have left the original photo?
