still no sleep last night. well, no restful sleep. had just enough of it to manufacture chaotic, stressful dreams. between the stuffy room, the blanket being too hot on, my not being able to fall asleep without a blanket on, the squeaky bed (i really have to soap the joins this weekend) and the pressure of knowing that no matter what, i have to deal with the alarm’s bleeping at 5:30 i just can’t seem to get any rest.
luckily, my evening home was good. other than a sore ankle, i got everything i had planned accomplished. i even stopped at the farm market and bought myself a bunch of dahlias. flowers really are a mood-lifter. the nice man at the awesome indian restaurant knows me by name when i call in my order now. christopher phoned three times to check in — although, i think he was just making sure i hadn’t eaten all the butter chicken so he could have leftovers. i scanned the entire holga-35mm experimental roll (which you can see most of by clicking the photo above). i watched some episodes of firefly. i tried to find a spot somewhere elevated to watch the fireworks, but i underestimated the amount of people who had similar inclinations, so i just drove back home and went to bed.
sometimes, you just need to take a night off.

Why did you plan to get a sore ankle, and why didn’t you?? :p
i hoped to imply that the sore ankle was NOT part of the plan.
i guess that didn’t work.
Sprocket shots are great fun, and these are some of the most interesting that I’ve seen. Very cool.
But I’m confused – do you have access to a lab that will develop and make these prints for you? Or did you scan the negatives and then somehow invert them in Photoshop?
thanks, cooper!
i scan the negatives i get from the lab. actually, i asked for a contact sheet of this roll (not knowing how it would turn out with my scanner), but my local lab said they couldn’t do it because of the “irregular size” of the images. weird.
