Freshen Up

After forever, I finally got a kick in the pants to smooth out my site. New favicon (and now I even know how to say the word "favicon"), new banner on this blog, customized it a bit more to match my site, and even tweaked my slideshow.

In completely unrelated news, the lomography has been going well. It's a great little camera to carry around, although I am still trying to get over the lack of spontaneity of it all. Lomography is all about being in the moment and catching accidents that happen every second of your life. However, this whole philosophy flies in the face of the fact that you have to seek and then drop your film off at a pro lab just to get them developed, because Walgreens doesn't process 120 film or 35mm film with funky sprocket holes. (I found the hard way that your pro lab won't do this either, unless you ask nicely.)

Anyway, I still prefer to carry around my 5DmII, but there is something about the wait and the thrill of getting your negatives back that's really nice.

People who don't quite understand this joy have probably been shaking their heads about how I just pay more to take crappier photos. In a way that's true. And I'm sure my husband is one of them.



... But how can you resist the super-scary surprise of Cookie Monster in a dark Castro window? I never noticed him until I got this scan back. Freaky! And extra freaky for me, who is terrified of muppets. And refined sugar.

Thanks for the personal public message today, folks. My brain is apparently on hiatus, and I'm sure we'll be back to the deep florid entries when(ever) it returns.
