A RECENT HISTORY IN IMAGE SEQUENCE

I’ve been really lazy about photography these past few weeks. I feel much more engineery than artsy. Didn’t take my camera with me on the 4th last week, didn’t take any good (OMG WTF) BBQ pictures, and generally have been artistically depleted lately. I’ve been meaning to go downtown but haven’t had the time to go yet.

In the meantime, I’ve decided to sell some of my equipment and mix up my lens lineup. I sold my 17-40L and am looking to sell a bunch of other shit out of my bag. I plan on using the money to help finance a faster wide. Maybe a prime so I’ll be a less lazy photographer. I also plan on upgrading from my trusty Rebel to something more lucrative, but I wanna wait until Canon announces some 5D successor before deciding.

Anyway, here’s a picture I took today on the train of my buddy, Fred, after a long day’s work:

After my 30GB iPod died, I mourned my loss for a few weeks and eventually moved on to an 2GB iPod nano. Since then I’ve been content with shuffling through the 400-something of my favorite and most liked songs, but after opening my full music collection open fully for the first time in a long time, I realize that I so dearly miss being able to carry around my full music assemblage. I miss the random, oft missed song; the eclectic, mysterious B-side; the live version of that one song I kinda like. Is it time for me to put down the puny nano and step back up to an 80 GB big boy iPod?

5 songs on my iPod:

1. “5 Months, 2 Weeks, 2 Days” - Louis Prima
2. “My Adidas” - Run DMC
3. “Like Spinning Plates” (Live) - Radiohead
4. “Inertiatic E.S.P.” - The Mars Volta
5. “Casino Queen” - Wilco

In three easy steps, as demonstrated by Cindy

1. Press shutter.

2. Look at photo.

3. Show off photo.

I spend most of my days indoors these days, but I do have windows to look outside of at work and home.
