This roll reminded me that I need to start shooting cleaner. What's the point of taking a shot if I'm not going to pay attention to essential details like background and focus. Yeah, I'm getting the general aesthetic I want, but only at a thumbnail size.
For example, it would've been so easy to remove the books and other items on the shelf behind him. That would've improved the shot so much. Not to mention the fact that the focus is off.
I want
crisp
clean
simple
beautiful
shots!
Time to get on it.

We were each others adventures, education & loves.
"Separation is a hard truth to swallow.
When you see your friends, their smiling faces and hear their voices and laugh with them at jokes and memories it's hard to understand why people "choose" separation.
More or less we've chosen to move away from one another, leave Long Beach in search of adventures, education, love, something that we felt like isn't in our lives.
But, all those things were in our lives all along."

Take that, Germans
A German publication from the 1830's regarding Daguerre's advancements towards a fixed photographic image:
"The wish to capture evanescent reflections is not only impossible, as shown by thorough German investigation, but the mere desire alone, the will to do so, is blasphemy. God created man in His own image, and no man-made machine may fix the image of God."
In that case, I know a lot of blasphemers.
