about a week ago trevor and jane invited me to do a motley crue video with them in downtown la. we got to hang out all day and act like idiots...a very good time if i do say so myself. ive been getting a lot of work done on both sides of my ribs so i can have as much done by the time i go to jamaica at the beginning of may. i am REALLY excited. my cousin is getting married and my family got me a plane ticket ALL expenses paid. woooohooo!! im going to take a bajillion pictures and soak in some new ocean time. when i was a little girl, my biggest dream in life was to play the steel drums haha. im going to rage on one when i get the chance :) when i get back i have a little roadtrip to SF planned with jess. i am really excited to see taylor because i havent seen him in a long time. home brewed beer and veggie picnic in the park with a few good cameras. makes me smile to think about it. ill hopefully be able to meet up with matty for a spot of tea as well.
i got a new diana F+ camera in the mail yesterday. i am very excited to start taking some photos with it. the thrift store hooked me up with an old polaroid camera and a ninoka nk-700 for a grand total of 3 dollars so im pretty stoked about that as well. ive been experimenting with some different types of film in different cameras as well as mixing up the development processes. im pretty excited about some of the results. i really think that riding my bike around to take photos is my favorite thing to do now.
i had an audition the other day and brought ambre along with me in the hopes that at least one of us could get the job. the guy throwing the audition was a really rad person i met at the motley crue shoot. too bad it was the most obnoxious thing ever!! i had to pretend that a white swivel chair was a car and i was washing it....while trying to look super hot. they had music blaring and about 10 people were all watching. :) yeah. good times. they invited us to hang out after and watch more of the auditions so we hung out for a bit and then left. i just got a call and i got the job! wooo! this should be interesting...i got to hang out with brittany and ambre the night before that and then after the audition a few of us all went out to a cancer benefit show. i had SO much fun and got to spend some time with ryan who i havent seen for a while. good times. f
i need to finish the hunter s thompson painting and move on to something new. ive got some ideas rolling around.
here are a few photos i got developed the other day. they arent edited. larger versions are available on my myspace.
this video blew my fucking mind. its amazing.
this is an interesting elliot smith documentary that i really enjoyed watching...
this made me laugh. i want to have a root beer kegger and fuck with the po po :)
and last but not least...this made me smile.
ps...for those of you who havent seen robert and shana parkeharrison's work, go check it out. the premise for their photos is awesome. out of this world you might say ;) har har

I'm hyper-excited for your road trip up here! My new place is already starting to come together.
If you're driving, you should try to bring your bike; I'll more than likely have my new fixie by the time you're in town and we can ride :)
Two new batches of home-brew are in the works and I've got a killer sandwich shop right across the street that serves 25 different veg/vegan subs; so we're golden on picnic eats for dolores park. Not to mention the best sushi, indian, thai, crepes, etc are all in my neighborhood.
Also, I've got like 25 rolls of expired extachrome and fujichrome sensia slide. So, definitely don't forget your new cams and I'll actually dust off my LC-A, my holga and my bessa-r for some fun experimentations.
Glad to hear that you're staying sane in stinktown.
;)

Did you take the pictures with the Diana? They came out really cool. I have the Holga and I love it!
I look forward to checking your blog more often for more fun stuff!
