as is often the case, the white headphones crammed into my child-sized-ears are playing ryan adams. tonight, i’m enjoying “goodnight, rose” from the ‘easy tiger‘ album.
Goodnight, Rose…we’re going to win…
Put your troubles behind you, and go on to bed.
Let go of the worry, there’s so much nobody understands…
so last thursday i sold my precious iMac to a photographer in Orange County who was setting up a new photostudio.
the process of selling the iMac took all of 5mins…i logged onto the Orange County Craigslist and the first listing was:
“WANT TO BUY: iMac 24″ 2.4GHz“.
Emailed the guy, we agreed on a price—$100USD less than I paid for it 1.5yrs ago—and setup a time for delivery.
on friday, I drove to his studio on my lunch break, dropped off the goods and he gave me the cash and…wait for it…$40 for gas money.
best. craigslist. buyer. ever.
once i was back in the jetta, i hit up the iPhone for the nearest BofA and quickly deposited more $20 bills than I had ever seen at one time.
also, in retrospect, the guy’s place could have been a porn studio and—as we speak—my precious iMac is being used to edit pictures only meant for mommies and daddies who love each other very much.
to temporarily replace the desktop, i picked up a new 13″ MacBook to use to shuttle between home and school and while i wait for new iMacs to be released this little notebook is my primary machine.
it’s a stunning piece of art that doubles as a computer.
here are a few beauty shots:
if you visit the Flickr page of the above image, you’ll see the all the notes for the gear on my desk.
also, this is what buster looks like when he’s trying to figure out why his owner is standing on an office chair, holding $2000 worth of photography equipment to take a picture of a desk.
you’re welcome, internet.
this is a shot of Smiegel the Cat that i took over the xmas holiday. the pretty girl can buy any sort of random pet outfit and Smiegel is more than happy to parade around in it for days.
i dig this shot b/c the angle & lighting remind me of Che Guevara and if any of our pets were to lead a revolution, it would definitely be Smiegel.
the moon was flirting with the clouds as the cold air blew across his face.
smoke was hanging effortlessly against the harsh porch light.
it was getting colder–-and she was right-–he should have brought his jacket.
but when he walked in, the air was warm and inviting as Mystery pulled up her chair.
“dont make fun,” he insisted…as she smiled back at him…completely in the moment.
the pretty girl lives in the historic part of town and in a 100 lifetimes i wouldnt be able to capture all that surrounds our waking life.

hiding behind the lens feels safe and this is my most recent attempt at being still…

so today was crazy stressful.
everyone on campus was pissed to have to be back to work after the holidays; i tried my best to swim out past the breakers.
tonight i’m relaxing and downloading hundreds of photos from my vacation and of course interacting with you, my little snowflakes.
tonight’s soundtrack is dj minty fresh beat’s jaydiohead mashup of Radiohead & Jay-Z. if you’ve been around 1LS since the early days, then you’ll remember how much i loved “the grey album”.
you can download the whole deal right about here.
