Saw the Feist show at Smith College. She rocked… though her voice made me think she had seen better days that tour. Her opening act – Ingrid Michelson – did a version of radiohead’s creep that was phenomenal. There were children in the audience – so she changed the f- word line to “chicken.” Wish I had bootlegged it.

Journey, Cheap Trick, and Heart are coming to a local casino venue sometime this summer. I wanna go… but I will not be bringing rotten tomatoes.

Ben Kweller is still one of my musical idols. His signed guitar will find a home on my wall in the new apartment.

Officially passed my midpoint review. Got the letter detailing that today. I am officially able to register for summer classes. This makes me think perhaps I should take the summer off.

Been stocking up on Polaroid. Supplies are dwindling – and the prices on ebay are sharply rising. I could resell half of my stockpile… and have paid for the remainder and still recoup a profit. But how could I possibly let such a commodity go?

Dee Dee Desire told me that at her job they have beer Fridays… while she didn’t explain the details – I am sure that its wonderful. Made me realize that we need bong Tuesdays at my work… and I better stock up on cookie dough.

Be sure to sharpen your toothbrush into a shank before your in-laws come and visit… because you never know.

I got the idea to use an Xpan camera to shoot model-based images. Does my brain work in wide screen (4x12)? I will either love it – or hate it. I miss 6x6.

I am single handedly bringing back the varsity jacket as a male fashion statement… I just got two of them from ebay… two awesome ones… too bad it’s summer.

Sundays.

Photosandthelaw.com will soon be given a new look – thanks to =amandacoughlin. When it relaunches – I will probably be more excited about keeping it updated. It will also become the new home for my photography.

A friend of mine sent me a haiku that she made for me. It was so cute that I spent the next hour trying to come up with my own.

My first one was:

“Stranger things happened
between stranger people than
us two people now”
But… the last one I came up with was worth the prize:

What is love baby
Don’t hurt me don’t hurt me no
More. Dum Dum Dum Dum.

The trees have started to bud and bloom… I should dig out my infrared camera, now that there are things to shoot with it.

Selling a Hasselblad SWC kit, a Red Hasselblad 503cw kit, and a Leica M6 Historica (mint with leicavit) on ebay… if anyone is interested – drop me a line.

I need to come up with a series of images using alternative processes for my final project in “experimental photography.” Last night – with some inspiration from ~cmulcahy - the idea came to fruition:

Polaroid transfers of photographs of records from my record collection transferred to textured watercolor paper note cards.

The native images lack texture. The images of records lack sound. The textured paper lacks an image. The inside lacks a hand written message. The process is obsolete, just like the subject matter, and even the physical manifestation of the process is obsolete when compared to email or text messaging.

The perfect blend of form and content.

Look for these soon.

Glad I got to use one of my mannequins. *sarafina11 was truly a good sport. So was Rosie… even though she couldn’t keep her hair on during the transportation portion of our day.

Retired the bare mattress. Some things are cliché – even when you put a new twist on them.

Gave up diet coke. Trying to get rid of aspartame from my diet. I think I will have better luck trying to not eat meat. I am ridding myself of both… or at least trying.

You’re so chicken special… and I’m a creep.
