this day consisted of testing some old 35mm film i found in my minolta and a very delicious dinner party
This shoot brought to you by Dubstep.
Because that's what we were dancing to in the kitchen.
and on the patio.
and in the hallway.
and on the roof.
If i'd had some twizzlers, it would've been perfect, but alas, we had to make do with having a good ol' time strutting our stuff to folks like Flux Pavillion and Nero.
There was a short break while we watched Key & Peele skits, but it was mainly a dubstep afternoon.
Or, more accurately, a Dubstep and Photos We Were Really Happy With afternoon.
Because we were really happy, because we were the two of us definitely in that state of Flow where she's anticipating the direction I'm about to give, I'm anticipating the moves she's about to make, where we are both on the same page the entire time.
"wanna go on the roof?"
"fuck yes."
"how's this jumper look?"
"ZOINKS."
"I'm thirsty."
"I already poured you a glass of water."
Simpatico, man. Like one of those days where you expect traffic and it's clear sailing instead, all the way from home to destination. Like putting on that pair of jeans you've spent weeks breaking in.
Like hitting that backhand on the court after spending weeks fielding balls from the weird ball shooting machine thing.
Ehem.
It doesn't need to be said, but I sure do like saying it: good times.
This one worked out nicely. I didn't want to crop the lotus on the right off, so I left a bit more black. But it would have shown up anyway, as you can see. This is another benefit of using a long lens like the 300mm end of the zoom, getting the background to be completely out of focus, while getting the reflection of the sun off the water.
a shot for a project i'm doing on gentrification and its effects on latinos:
