Visually, it's an easy transition, c'mon. It's a leaf with bits missing, chewed by some industrious caterpillar somewhere down the line, but as a result it looks a bit like a broken window. Stained glass, probably.
Thing I'd like to talk about is my new hard drive. I have a new hard drive, a 1TB monolith that has the heft of a concrete block. Every time I pull or save data to this beast (like when I withdraw photos from its metal maw to publish here), a light on the bottom flashes, giving a distinct callback to the Cylons from Battlestar Galactica. In addition, it makes noises. Industrious noises. Any time I pluck a nugget of data, it vibrates momentarily, and you can feel it vibrate through the glass-top desk. It's a mean, angry hard drive, and it always sounds like it's chewing rocks or grunting in distate. I guess that's what you get when you get a full terabyte's worth of storage. Hungry anger.
This week's theme is broken
I had this style of image in mind when I saw the theme, but putting my limited photoshop skills into practice was "challenging". Not overly happy with the end result, but I have a new technique to practice. It's what I wanted to use this project for though, to push myself in areas that I wouldn't normally go.
I ruined my reflection glass :'( but small sacrifices must be made!
Wondering how to take highspeed photos? The technique used for this kind of images is described in lesson 3 (freeze the motion with your flash) of my highspeed photography 101.
In Lektion 3 (Einfrieren von Bewegung mit dem Blitz) erklaere ich, wie man solche Highspeed Bilder erstellt.

(My modem is broken on my desktop, so that's why there has been a lack of photos lately. I finally broke down and uploaded them to my MacBook)
In the past two weeks, I've made many trips to Burger King to get the Simpsons toys. Sometimes I'd get a meal, sometimes I'd just get a drink. You can see all the Simpsons toys I've acquired in this photo.
Sometimes I feel that this amazing country is in really two different ones…. divided “BROKEN” I half by politics and extreme point of views. I know someday this will be fixed.

"Broken/old but still loved"
Broken bottles at the WinCo store recycling, I thought it would make for a nice abstract photo opportunity.
DE1014 (LK09ENR) after working route 117.
This bus suffered a flat tyre when working the 117 so everyone was turfed off! Passengers had to wait 20 minutes for DE1002.
Second roll with my first Oktomat to find out, if it really is broken. Well, so much for that. I had it exchanged for a new one. Lomography Oktomat, Lomography X-Pro 200, cross-processed

1 . Record covers created as original work by visual artists.
2 . Record or sound-producing objects (multiples / editions / sculptures).
3 . Books and publications that contain a record or recorded-media object.
4 . Records or recorded media that have sound by visual artists.

Adorno, René Block, Jean Dubuffet, Milan Knizak, László Moholy-Nagy, Christiane Seiffert, and Hans Rudolf Zeller, as well as a flexi disc of the Arditti Quartet performing Milan Knizak’s 'Broken Music'.

'In 1963-64 I used to play records both too slowly and too fast and thus changed the quality of the music, thereby, creating new compositions. In 1965 I started to destroy records: scratch them, punch holes in them, break them. By playing them over and over again (which destroyed the needle and often the record player too) an entirely new music was created - unexpected, nerve-racking and aggressive. Compositions lasting one second or almost infinitely long (as when the needle got stuck in a deep groove and played the same phrase over and over). I developed this system further. I began sticking tape on top of records, painting over them, burning them, cutting them up and gluing different parts of records back together, etc. to achieve the widest possible variety of sounds. A glued joint created a rhythmic element separating contrasting melodic phrases... Since music that results from playing ruined gramophone records cannot be transcribed to notes or to another language (or if so, only with great difficulty), the records themselves may be considered as notations at the same time.'

I truly am a broken record.
The amount of times I have apologized for my absence on Flickr is disgustingly large, considering my failure to rectify this in any way.
And here I am, yet again, apologizing. (Sorry)
School has been simply insane, draining me mentally of the will to do anything past doing homework, eating, and (barely) sleeping. And now, with the advent of finals, this rigid routine of (st)dying has become all the more necessary.
Yet.
Somehow, I manage to not study and not use my camera at all. Not. Good. *sigh* I guess I'll study now... because... well... I don't know what I'd do with myself if I didn't.
Like always, I promise to come on here more often. And like always, I suppose there's no guarantee of this.
But I suppose, really, there's not a guarantee of anything.
"I´m feeling, broken and cracked sometimes, don´t know how I could ever fix myself... So I´m hugging my inner senses... Taking care and trying to protect myself from falling apart..."
