Venice 01

cannot wait until submit>hotography>street...

cannot fucking wait.

i'm sure some will think i'm bitching.

whatever.

so ... last friday. actually, last thursday rang *londn ... we took a walk through venice. about a 30 minute drive for both of us.

my drive is nicer. pch.

through santa monica.

i won't comment on his.

i think this photo was a 2/3 of the way through the day.

two friends giggling.

matt thought they were baked.

i didn't think so.

but ... what do i know?

who else would put on pot-leaf-shaped sunglasses?

perhaps they were baked.

one frame.

and, for me, it's something which makes me smile.

side note: my air purifier made a fucking scary-ass sound. hmm....

anyway ... thought i'd submit something before i left for a while.

props to leica for receving, fixing and fedex'ing my beloved 35/1.4 ASPH ... in three days! that is friggin' service. trust me. i dealt with the assholes at nikon and ... the benevolent-yet-slower-than-what-i'd-like canon.

she's back on my mp.

and i love her.

and i look pretty hot in my pot sunglasses.

f/5.6 1/2, 1/500th on agfa apx 100. lab scan. adjust layers and contrast in ps cs. no ... not a digital image manip'd in cs.

when i picked up my film today there was a guy with 400 rolls of c-41 and hp5 ... i said, "fuck i hate it that they make me use digital."

smiling he says, "what's that? one of those little things you stick in your pocket?"

fucking exactly.

film rules.

if you think differently, i don't really care.
