My parents got me some Efke 25 B&W film when they were in town--bulk roll, expired. First time using it--I like! Southern Cali is so bright in the summer, it's interesting to shoot such a slow film.
Every time I see this NOTSO graffiti tag, I wish it said NUTSO.
Ganges, Michigan
Olympus XA2
Ilford HP5
I've said it before and I will say it again, the Olympus XA2 is an amazing camera. The meter is nutso. I don't often attach it to my tripod, but on this particular occasion I did, and I am amazed at how sharp it was and that it got the exposure of the wood on the house so well.
Might not seem like a big deal that it nailed the exposure, but this was taken at NIGHT, I repeat, at NIGHT. And that little wonder still dialed it in. Probably a bit more exposure than I would've chosen, but still.
It's been about 5 years of #reallygoodfridays, and even though this one was on a Tuesday, I'll totally miss these dinners.
In other news, I know that I'm totally behind when it comes to posting my last 2 weeks in NYC, but the past month or so has been um, a tiny bit nutso, so I'm going to chip away at getting up to speed. :)

I know it's not technically fall for a few more weeks, but something happens in my head when we flip the calendar from August to September. It could be 95 degrees outside and I'll still be thinking, "It's fall! Yay!" My head is filled with images of multi-colored leaves, getting the fireplace going, pulling out my comfy sweaters and boots, hiking, Halloween, mums, going a little nutso with pumpkins...
So what a treasure to find this yesterday ... the autumn colors coming out on this leaf and its shadow forming a heart, another reminder of what is on the way, what I love.
'cause i'm still so hood, hollywood could never change me. shout out to all my haters, sorry that you couldn't phase me.

"BYE BYE DADDY!'
An Owl's tale.....I finally got a chance to spend some quality time with my local Great Horned owl family. This year they had 4 owlets and all have successfully fledged and are flying. I found 5 members of the family on a very cloudy and stormy evening. The light was mostly non existent..... but these guys were going nutso! The story is that Dad had just dropped down to catch a mouse. He flew up to the tree branch and passed it to mom.....she is holding the mouse in each photo. One owlet was on the same branch as mom....the other was on a branch behind and above them. Well, that baby got so excited seeing dad bring some food home. that it flew off its branch and straight into dad!! Talons out, he hit dad square in the chest, knockings him out of the tree! while dad was falling and regaining his balance in flight, junior also fell out of the tree. Here is a small set of images showing the sequence. I cannot not believe that I got to witness this crazy moment! (No owls were harmed and both managed to fly before hitting the ground) Please view full series
Anna did the paint job : ) It was my idea to match my shirt. Nutso.
It's back to school tonight and I would have loved to have just gone like this.

Stumbled on the 2020 Mummer's Parade in Philly. The picture went nutso during the Game of Thrones troupe.

By the time I upload this photo, more than 3249 people will have seen it.
It's always been my hope that one day, through my art, I would be able to beat the stigma of mental illness, one person at a time.
I guess this is a good start. View the complete set here

Since May is mind your health month**
here are some statistics:
Severe mental illnesses are biologically-based brain diseases that profoundly disrupt a person's ability to think, feel & relate to others or to their environment (National Alliance of the Mentally Ill).
5.4 million (2.7%) of adults in the U.S. population have a severe and persistent mental illness (Center for Mental Health Services).
11.4 million (5.7%) of adults in the U.S. population have a serious mental illness (Center for Mental Health Services).
There are 48.2 million people (24.1%) in the U.S. with any diagnosable (via DSM-III-R) mental disorder in a one-year period (Center for Mental Health Services).
Severe mental illnesses are more common than cancer, diabetes, or heart disease (National Alliance of the Mentally Ill).
1 in every 5 families are affected by severe mental illness in their lifetime (National Alliance of the Mentally Ill).
Nearly 50% of those seeking mental health care rely on self-payment to pay for the costs of treatment (American Journal of Psychiatry, September 1994).
A conservative estimate is that a total of 12% or 7.5 million youths have mental, behavioral, or developmental disorders, yet only 1/5 of them receive treatment (National Alliance of the Mentally Ill).
The #1 reason for hospital admissions nationwide is psychiatric disorder (National Alliance of the Mentally Ill).
Those dealing with mental illness have been blamed & stigmatized for their disorders because their disorders were so misunderstood (National Alliance of the Mentally Ill).
Inform yourself.
Ignorance is far from bliss...
** thank you very much E. (u know who you are ;-)
Cover shot for the May travel issue :)
a bit late in posting this (and still need to post WestCoaster cover shots from March and April), but this month has just been nutso for me. Only 11 days til graduation and then I'm home free!!
Can you believe the planes really do fly that low? Apparently it's one of the most difficult airports to fly into (for pilots). You have to be a fairly experienced, skilled pilot to be allowed to fly into San Diego.

This Belted Kingfisher decided not to migrate this year. For his efforts, he gets to bath in our balmy -18 degree winter weather.
His name is Bob.
I sure do hope people will not start to believe that I'm a nutso. I mean, I don't really talk to or make friends with tomatoes or other fruits or vegetables. Really.
*wispers something in Bob's ear*
Ow and it appears I am going to be needing one of those flickr pro accounts, since you can apparently only store 200 photo's on the non pro account? At least, that's what Bob told me.
Anyway, I'm going to be commenting on your photos later on, since I am now going to make a surprise housecall (just like Dr. Harry, hihi!). See you later!
my mom was really sick all weekend so I took the day off work to take her to the doctor on Monday and hung out with her for the day in case she needed anything. brought Brock with me so while she napped I took him on a 2 hour walk. there is a neat little trail through the woods near her house that I've taken the dogs to lots of times in the past & knew it would make a great spot for photos. the sun was supposed to come out but it did only briefly. :P
we saw a ton of squirrels right at the start of the walk, at one of my parent's neighbors' houses who feeds them, so Brock was in crazy mode (extremely reactive [of course we had to run into 5 freaking dogs too] & totally unfocused, not thinking, getting tangled, not listening..) most of the walk. he was a little too nutso & was really stressing me out until I realized why (the squirrel incident), and when we got out of the woods and back into neighborhoods he settled & we had a great last half hour together.
got several REALLY gorgeous photos that were BLURRY, and am pretty bummed about it. will have to go back another sunny-ish day & retry when Brock is CALMER and maybe with help. the focusing with this lens is so difficult, but when you get "The" shot, it is so worth it.
shot with the Helios-40, at f/2.8 (annoyed that flickr added sharpening...looks better very LARGE)
made explore Feb 6th, highest position #392
This guys was so nice a chill. I drove past the guy and saw his nails as he was parking. I stopped inthe middle of the road and backed up to try and take a picture of him. He was very friendly. He said he had been growing these for about 8 years. Check out the large version of this photo. He has Skull and Cross Bones airbrushed on the nails. To top it all the location of this photo was Beverly Hills, CA. 90210!
Definately not something you see everyday.
PHOTO OF THE DAY!
365-78
The hereios are showing off their tinfoil hats...so of course I needed a bow tie to match!
Since everyone around here (and by here I mean Winnipeg not Flikr) is staring to worry about overland flooding due to the high volume of snow, bitching about the windchill, snowfall and well anything else related to winter it seemed like a good idea to rub salt in the wounds...but hey...I'm like that...because I honestly don't care...for now. All it means is that I get more time to play in my snowshoes and skis! ;p
And now I have a second sign...one that can fit in my purse...and be pulled out for those bits of random fun I love to have!
Sorry guys, another headshot. I know, I know. I'm tired of seeing my face too. But I had no inspiration today. And ze parents are watching my every move so couldn't really do anything more... uh. Creative.
Anyways! Thank you for your supportive comments yesterday! I was pretty nervous, but it turned out to be fun and quite interesting. I didn't get shot! The other artists liked my pictures, and analysed some of them. Which I love because I feel I can learn so much from it. Everyone looks differently at a photo, pays more attention to certain things, and finding out what other people make of my shots is utterly interesting for me. They pointed out some little habits I have I didn't realise I had. =) And their comments really gave me a lot to think about. So it was nice! \o/
Other than that, I also got married yesterday. In a shopping mall, under a white umbrella held by a Chinese artist. You guys think I'm a nutso, right? It's a true story, some students were begging people to 'marry' for one day for a project. I of course looked too curious to get away freely, so hey, I married my friend for a day and gave him a nice pink ring. Which made him a little angry. Hihi.
