Its been a while

I have been uber swamped lately and this blog has yet to make it to the top of my list in things I need to get done. But I did have some time to upload and post to day so with out further delay.......PHOTOS!! Aight boy listen up up first we got may nigga scuba egg. strait from the deep blue he is rising up just like dat zombie jesus to say "yo..im scuba egg"   

Next we got a puppy peakin through a porthole. well a door, but that does not start with a P and that is uber lame. 

Last.....BIG WHEEL BITCH!

WAR SCARF

The top is a photograph of a scarf my girlfriend made. She makes a lot of scarves. I mean a lot. Our dishwasher is currently used to store yarn. We are thinking about selling on Etsy but we are not sure yet. The photograph is some trash on the side of the road I saw today.

I watched War Photographer today and I must say that is a great way to not only get very sad but feel like a shitty photographer. I def recommend it to any one that is into photography or documentaries. 

The first photograph My girlfriend took of our friend's pet H. Hog. She took it a few days ago. I am just now taking a look at it and realizing how much I like it. The one below it is me being a fucking loser taking photos of my self like Ninja from Die Antwoord. Petty much the lamest thing I could do.

 

The first photograph is of a church in the Lincoln Park area of Chicago. The second photograph is some thing I saw in the meat packing district of Chicago. It has be rather hard to keep up with the blog as of late. I have way to much going one. school, two jobs, volunteer photography, and im sure I have more stuff that makes me seem more important and way more busy than I actually am. I need a book on Mary Ellen Mark to write a paper on dat bitch. 

Wedding

I photographed a wedding today for my internship with Colin Lyons Photography. I was actually surprised with how much fun I had shooting. I think in this shot I actually got my bosses flash which is crazy to think about. I don't remember what the shutter speed was but thats like a very small fraction of a second to take a photograph at the exact same time. cray cray. 

Weird Day

My card got corrupted so not only was I not able to upload any photos on to the blog. I also lost everything that I shot. Luckily there was not anything to important but it just sucks that that happened. At any rate, do I have a funny story for you! So I needed to get a suit jacket today for the wedding I am photographing tomorrow. I decided to check TJ Maxx/filene's basement assuming It would be cheaper. So I walk in the store and I think to my self "well gosh! Why is it so humid in here?" Once I got to the bottom of the escalator I see a bunch of women running around in their underwear and every one was screaming. I don't mean like when there are a lot of people talking so you have to scream so people can hear you like at party or something. They were just screaming. not words...just screaming. Like at a Justin Bieber concert. Apparently there was a huge sale on wedding gowns and every time a girl found a dress she liked the whole staff had to scream at the top of their lungs. It was very surreal. I thought I was in a dream.

Oh here we are. So here is count em THREE photos for you. So lets do the run down. The top one are some shoes that an old lady was wearing at the train station. You would think a 13 year old boy. The middle photograph is a tree that I pass nearly every day and to be honest with you I would rather not see it as much. My life is becoming to stale. I should go rob a bank. And the last although pretty is a view I see ever day while crossing the Madison St. bridge to go to the train station. 

So I have been running nearly every day now. I sort of have a goal in mind to run a 5k. I guess that is a good goal I mean that is a pretty good distance. The thing is I used to run a 5k every weekend when I was in high school....now I am just an old fat man who can't fit into his old band tees. To bad I was never into Van Halen cuz then I could look like a middle age white man.

TWOFER

You get two today. or should I say TWODAY!!! hahaha im not funny...... at any rate. The top photograph is of the storm last night. I'm not sure if it hit where I live. The photograph just above is of the Woodstock square earlier today.  I can't say I am happy with these photos. They are not really anything special but I did run almost two miles today and I am not about to go out and take some photographs. I am so tired. 

oh boy

Boy it would suck to fall from there.

Hot peanutz?! Shuzam!!!

I wish this cat had lazer eyes. So I had a pretty nice weekend with the ol' Gee Eff. Drank maybe a little to much. prlly not going to do that for a while. Cats are so amazingly cool and weird at the same time and my allergies are starting to go away so I want to get one.

Man at the coffee shop.

This is becoming a "why I hate the metra" blog. So I almost missed the train so I had to pay the $3 sur charge on top of the $7.50 to get on the train. If that didn't suck enough the guy got all pissy. Im sorry I have to give you extra money. Why does he care any way, It is more money for him or at least his boss.

I feel like I will never become a famous photographer from this blog if I keep blogging about any thing and everything except the photograph I post. I feel like photographers are only famous among other photographers and thats like a band playing to the other bands that are playing that show and that my friends is lame. trust me i did it a lot

My eye ball hurts

This is today's sunset. I saw this while coming home from crystal lake. I got a new pair of running shoes. They make me look tall and if you have seen me in person being tall is something I could use some help with.

So my eye hurts real bad and I don't know why. I was thinking that if I had one eye I would get pretty tired of explaining why I always wear sunglasses, but then I thought it would be really funny to go to a job interview in sunglasses and say "pardon the sun glasses I have one eye." Or I could wait for the interviewer to ask why I was wearing sunglasses indoors and snap and be like "Uh cuz I have a hole in my face where my eye used to be" and then take off the sunglasses and stick my finger in the hole.

This man is on the same street every day selling the sun times and he looks like he is smoking a huge blunt in the photo.  I think more people need to realize how amazing twitter's role in the uprisings going on in the news currently. I mean thats pretty great. 

sun set

Just sort of a purdy view from earlier today. kinda sleepy so not going to write much

is this a cat in the hat

nope just on a window sill

more JOOSE

Now I am thirsty. Here is a photograph of something very yummy looking from a place called Jamaica Jamaica in Evanstan IL. 

I spent all day today working from home. It was a huge bitch but I am glad I am done so I wont have to do anything tomorrow after work! 

JOOOOSE!!

Here is a friend of mine and I love this photo because he has a cup of juice and his mouth totally looks like he is saying JOOSE!!! 

Man on steps

 

Here is a photograph of a man standing on the stairs leading to the clyborn metra stop. I stayed over a a friends house the other day and was unable to post. no need to worry I have two photos for ya gents. The lighting in this photograph is pretty. It was like a wind tunnel on this stairwell though. Not fun. I think it was Stieglitz that stood in a winter storm for a few hours waiting for the perfect shot. He kind of makes me feel like a wimp.

Cutest thing on earth!!!

Wow! Thats cute and I got to hold it. So apparently Lady Gaga wanted to be able to have all rights to photographs taken of her live.  Come on?!? really?!?! Dont you have enough money? you are like a pirate of intellectual property. Also I heard some photographer in I think Texas took a photograph for a young girl about 9 for her mom. Like a simple portrait. And then she went missing and was killed. So while she was missing the family used the photograph for news media and the photographer tried to sue because they did not have his permission to use the photograph... What a douche bag.

Zobster the mobster

Oh poop. It is hard to write things. I have no idea how journalist and writers do it. I mean come on be easy! I have a huge paper I need to write for my history of photography class. Let me tell you how much I do not want to do that. well. I guess I better get started on that
