Day One Hundred Forty Two


Day One Hundred Forty Two - "A Tale of Two (and one half) Cities"

On the left is Minneapolis/St. Paul at nine oclock. Right is Anchorage well past midnight.

Normal?

It's all relative. 

Day One Hundred Forty One


Day One Forty One - "City Museum"

Awesome night of exploring caves, skate parks, beatnik shops, ten-story slides, rocket ships, buses, human-sized hamster wheels, and The Bale Out secondhand clothing store, which contributed the sweet threads for this shot.

All of this is housed in a warehouse building in downtown St. Louis.. all of this on a college visiting weekend.

While they picked up the bill, that is not even the sweetest part...


Day One Hundred Forty


Day One Hundred Forty - "The Professor Is In"

Meet Brannon. Professor-emeritus at the college of bad ass chair-in-the-street poses.

On the campus of Principia College in Elsah, Illinois where the days are full of classes, sun, humidity, Frisbee, and... spring. Green trees, grass, and the smell of thunderstorms wafting through the air.

I could get used to this. 

Day One Hundred Thirty Six


Day One Hundred Thirty Six - "Traffic Stop"

Lots of exposure breakdancing in the street.. its supprisingly busy at twelve thirty at night. Its just too bad a cop couldn't have taken this picture, and stopped traffic for us.

Shooting in the street is a strange.. almost addicting thing. Surrounded by lights of all types, cars, sounds, and asphalt makes for purely spontanious action and imagery. Such limited time in a restricted space often leads to the most creative expression.. seen above and here  


Day One Hundred Thirty Five


Day One Hundred Thirty Five - "Hipstamatic"

Shoot from the hip.

It just doesn't get dark anymore. Its that time of year. This is just shy of midnight.. the hours of light are approaching 16.. which makes shooting in the "dark" tough.

Day One Hundred Thirty Four


Day One Hundred Thirty Four - "College Tales"

Nope. Not yet. But why think of the future when you can remember the past. Yes the slides suck.. but who doesn't have a few good memories of elementary school.

Day One Hundred Thirty Three

Day One Hundred Thirty Three - "Bump"


Who doesn't like a good game of basketball with the guys?

Nope, not quite professional, but that hoop was about five feet off the ground so we can at least jump..

Day One Hundred Thirty Two - "Smells Like Patagonia"

A letter. From Patagonia.

Yes I could have contacted her in seconds over facebook... a letters worth builds as it travels longer distances, appreciating like money in a bank.

Email is typed, then sent at the speed of light to its destination. A letter is handwritten (no way) ... but just think of what goes into that: years of learning to write, the energy that goes into making paper and pen and envelope, then the transportation which carries it home.

All the way from Chile? Knowing their mail system, I'm doubly fortunate.


I have to apologize, blogger was down yesterday, severly hampering my ability to publish.. do not fear though, this photo was captured on day 132, which is what this project is all about. 


Thank you all so much for keeping up! As always.. stay tuned!

Day One Hundred Thirty One - {+13} Days of Summer

Summer is nice. Especially when 13 extra days are added on. For all those of you who are stuck in school.. with finals... well, try not to drool on your keyboard. For those of you who are learning, teaching, working, know that summer isn't a place or time.. it is a state of mind. Someplace easily reached, no matter the situation. 

Day One Hundred Thirty


Day One Hundred Thirty - "Young Money Democrat"

Yup. Mr. Mitchel is an up and coming rap star.. you can see him and his band Aft3r in live performance here 

I have to apologize for yesterdays photograph: It was my highschool graduation, and with four hundred and eighty graduates security was tight. I was able to smuggle my iphone in, but the DSLR proved to be too much. But with graduation brings hugs, cards, gifts.. namely lenses.

Keep your eyes peeled!

Day One Hundred Twenty Seven

Day One Hundred Twenty Seven  "Left out in the Rain"

Only if you have no respect for something like this Pentax. 35mm Film cameras might be dated, but they are far from out of style.

Those of you who are.. well I hope you can appreciate things of the past. Sure those schmancy digital photogs make sweet images, just don't forget where this all came from..

As Grandparents always say: "Be sure to visit!"

Day One Hundred Twenty Six


Day One Hundred Twenty Six - "Studebaker Surfing"

While yes, I am aware this is not anything close to the classic car.. my point is understood. These were classic cars, but they were driven off the bluff at Kincaid Park at the now infamous 'beach with all the old cars an junk'

There is good spelunking to be had, and there would have been better bonfires had it not been for a certian person who advised against it.

...

The wind.

Day One Hundred Twenty Five


Day One Hundred Twenty Five - "All of the Lights"

Just like that. Four years of symphonic. Here and gone. These guys are family. Or whatever spending hundreds of hours together get you. I say family.

This is one of the few things I'll miss about high school. And that is huge because you won't find miss and high school in any other high school speak.

"You'll miss it only when its gone"

It's an privilege to play music with close friends everyday. Something to appreciate once it has past.

And now that it has past.. you all will be seeing a lot more Kick Snare Hat! 

Day One Hundred Twenty Four


Day One Hundred Twenty Four - "Bros Be Honkin'"

This is not quite what was knockin' up around in my noggin, but it'll have to do. I have AP tests in the morning and it is time to dream of times where there aren't essays to be written every day.
