Hmm, all of those look nice, I'll have to think about it. I'm really broke and the old man has some business worries so hes telling me hes not giving me any money for awhile and I don't want to ask. We'll see.

Don't get one without a flash. Utterly useless.

You should see these pictures. I've never seen an individual so sweaty.

Any cheaper and they don't have memory cards that you can carry extra of (like film). You have to upload to your computer before you can take more pictures (or get processing).

He's wearing this green button down shirt and it's covered with patches -- like you might expect to see army patches there -- but instead the patches are rainbows and moons and hearts that say "best friends" and stuff. It's pretty hilarious.

Yeah, I wouldn't bother without a flash. Believe it or not, I know alot about photography - I had taken a black and white class when I was really young a Mass Art and my instructor liked my photos so much he had the director of the photo dept look at them and he thought I should persue a career in photojournalism but of course, no ambition.

Believe it or not, I'm walking on air.

Never thought I could feel so free.

Queenie:
I've thought a lot about photojournalism but you have to have balls of steel to thrust yourself into situations to get those pulitzer pictures. I do not have balls of steel.

Its a hobby I wish I spent more time at - I have lots of camera gear, I have just about every roll film format.

Cheap Hi-8 camcorders too. Really cheap.

But I studied photography as a hobby. I took a master printing class with Steichen's printer. That was hard.

I will always love my polaroids.
(Mon Sep 17, 2001 - 3:50:30 pm)

Queenie:
If only I could base a career around taking polaroids.

You can in Williamsburg Brooklyn.

You waste a lot of film in that job. It does have a certain romantic appeal.

Printing is the real skill. Anyone can set up tripod and snap a few at each f stop.

Relatively.

The talented and gifted lady just called. Sidney tested in the 99% percentile with the first grade material. So they said she can start first grade tomorrow! YAY!

I have no idea where she got them brains from.

Yeah well who prints with chemicals anymore anyway. This guy was just a truly amazing printer, I forget his name. He used one of my negatives to print for the whole semester - he liked the composition and it was really contrasty. It came out amazing and he gave it to me in the end 11 x 17 black and white print printed by Steichen's printer. Pretty impressive. God, now where the hell is it.
(Mon Sep 17, 2001 - 3:59:52 pm)

Queenie:
I've always been interested in those old methods of printing - the really deadly toxic ones - but I'm wary of the toxic stuff.

Cool, photo geek.

I wish I could frame it and hang it but its of this girl that was my best friend. The picture was taken in Ireland and shes british - shes standing in front of a cascade of ivy so its weird for me to hang it because I really don't want to look at her everyday for sure.

Decoy:
"Was?"
(Mon Sep 17, 2001 - 4:02:47 pm)

bela:
Yeah, was - shes not my friend anymore. She turned out to be insane.

Decoy:
You gotta screen them for a while before you invest emotionally. You can't be too careful.
(Mon Sep 17, 2001 - 4:06:15 pm)

Chewing Wax:
insane eh?
(Mon Sep 17, 2001 - 4:06:29 pm)

bela:
Yeah, she was sort of nuts. Her sister was totally insane and shes a doctor now. She was the most compassionless person ever. Those two were such bitches. They would be so sweet and british to your face but the second you turned around they would cut you up. And they thought they were so beautiful. My friend would tell me I had cowy brown eyes. Big cowy eyes. Isn't that mean?
(Mon Sep 17, 2001 - 4:09:38 pm)

Decoy:
Big and, perhaps, dumb.

I hear.
