Happy Thanksgiving! I'm at my parents' house in north county San Diego, loving my new Canon 30d. Digital is so practical, instant. I can learn from my mistakes because I can see them in front of me.

This is Laurel on Fuji FP100c - shot by my Landcamera.

Strange image from a roll of 120 shot on my Diana. Light leaks after exposure imprinted the numbers on the film, I think.

"It's much more apparent when there's no one else in the house, and light is slowly fading and slipping behind the hill and the ringing in your ears rises up in a sudden wave.  You feel so still and like this could go on forever but it won't.  Soon you'll forget, soon you'll be talking and laughing or sleeping quietly in your dark room."

Strange angle ( I can't remember how I originally took it), but Erin just looks so pretty.

This shot is 35mm slide film that I converted to black and white. Our friends Rachel and Dave had a brunch party last month, and even though it was overcast that day, it was pretty bright - there was tons of great, diffused light coming through the windows.

Getty

EK and I visited LA/Long Beach a few weeks ago for Anch's birthday. We spent a ridiculously hot but awesome afternoon at the Getty - definitely one of my top 3 places in Los Angeles.

What a gorgeous little girl - Claire's niece. I photographed her a little bit last month when I was visiting Whittier with my Nikon (here) and my Mamiya, which is yet to be developed. The light was low and I was only using iso 200 but it turned out nicely considering. We'll see how the medium format looks in a few months I suppose.

The light's different up here.

Been up in the bay for about two months. Things are great but there's not a whole lot of certainty. That's okay, I think. I'm happy.

Koi again

On the way down to San Diego one afternoon a few months ago, I stopped at the Mission in San Juan Capistrano. I hadn't been there since.. ever? It's fairly small but what it lacks in size, it makes up for visually. The grounds are a beautiful patchwork of slightly crumbling fountains bursting with koi and lilies, sprawling green lawns ringed by the traditional Mission olive trees, crimson buds weighing down pomegranate boughs, vine-enveloped trellises, kumquat trees dripping with vibrant orange fruit. I wanted to live there.

I brought in my Diana F+ and a few rolls of 120 and had fun with all the color.

Welllll, I realize I haven't posted in forever. I'm terrible, I know.

This photo (plain ol 35mm on my Nikon) reminds me of Walnut Creek, up in the East Bay. My friend Claire was helping make french toast for my good friend Erin's birthday. Soon I'll be able to hang out with both girls on a regular basis; I'm moving to the bay area in a few weeks. Exciting! Nerve-wracking!
