02.03.06 //: glory & consequence :// "...why do most great photographs look so uncontrived? why do photographers bother with deception since it too often requires the hardest work of all? perhaps some amount of deception is necessary if a piece is to be regarded as art? perhaps only pictures that look as if they have been easily made can convincingly suggest to us that beauty in this world is commonplace. - aperture m'zine (2005)"
my most recent prized acquisition - a used nikon n-90 (f-90x). =) slightly beat up, and probably a fossil in respects to current SLR film & digital models. nevertheless, heard good things about it despite its age when inquiring, so hope to get good use out of it. need to do research on lenses now, since i'm admittedly ignorant as to which would be best for my use (or even within my price range).
have been trying to get some planning for a spring trip (or trips) underway. saw pretty decent fares for miami, hawaii, london, amsterdam, and various places in latin america. ...fuel for the imagination, right? guess it's getting borderline greedy at this point, but wouldn't mind squeezing in a trip or two... or three... or four, before whatever the next engagement is. haha
lots of good music blogs out there, but charivarious does it for me best; rare cuts & full length jazz, trip-hop, hiphop, funk & soul albums. practically orgasmic. =P
