I’m still working out a work flow, if you will, for dealing with & containing prints from the 330.
They’re all sticky when you first unpeel them, so no touchies! And that’s fine, but when you get on a roll (heh) shooting with it…what to do? I can’t pop them straight into my little notebook: they’ll stick to the pages (learned that lesson quickly). I’ve taken to carrying them for a few minutes to dry, but holding 3 and pulling more from the camera, it gets cumbersome. I’ll figure something out! (The cold clip you see is excellent, but only once the prints are dry.)

Left behind is such a shitty feeling.

And now that I’ve acknowledged it, it can just piss off.

I’ve never lived anywhere with stairs inside. I still don’t, really, but my building does have 100-year-old (oak?) staircases and my 8-year-old self drags her hand down the banister every time we go in or out. (:

I do this a lot, shoot a frame completely out of focus. Here because I like the colours in the Japanese Garden so well.

Later, Sunday morning, November.
Nerdily excited about the 2 rolls from Portland, I walked around my neighbourhood (and apartment) and blew through a roll of Kodak’s BW400CN. (:

It’s always tricky for filmmakers who have earned their reputations in fantasy and horror to go respectable without losing the disreputable vigor that made their work worth paying attention to in the first place.

Peter Jackson’s ‘Lovely Bones’ - Not His Typical Ghost Story, Terrance Rafferty, NYTimes

While I take Mr Rafferty’s implied point to be that fantasy and horror aren’t, by and large, “respectable” (and that he, Rafferty, doesn’t necessarily agree that they aren’t) by industry? cultural? standards, it’s a little irksome he’s using it as shorthand anyway.

My organization is a combination of muscle memory (it feels wrong to not have iPod upper right) and color-matching (like the way ESPN Fantasy Football’s split background matches the app on either side…). (:

(The yellow border around Centipede makes me a little crazy.)

“I think something I joke about with Adam is his, and You Look Nice Today’s fanbase, is largely composed of a particular kind of person who really cares about fonts.”

— Jesse Thorn, on the type of people who need a little help dressing like a grownup. As someone who cares about both fonts and looking dapper, I’m pretty excited about Put This On.

Sweet.

Related: A Continuous Lean. It’s by boys for boys, but I love it anyway (and wish I could buy the Hamilton Oxfords for every boy I know).
