.i got the runs

06.05.10 SAT

pretty sure i grossed out a lot of people with a title like that. I think my AP Lit teacher from high school would be proud that i came up with such an awesome hook. I have some explaining to do of course. Yesterday I went to the Starlight parade for the first time in the 16 years that I have lived here in Portland. The only reason I went out this year, battling through the sea of people, was to support a good friend (areyoulaughingtoo.blogspot.com) of mine who was running the starlight run that precedes the parade.

Finally God has given me an opportunity to take out my trusty soul snatcher/photo gun/smile catcher.
Twas a fun experience, stranger body rubbing aside. I had fully intended to post an entry that night, but was way too tired to do it…so here it is a day late.

My blog lives again. I hope to make an entry once a week though I make no promises. My blog seems pointless without pictures so if I don’t have pictures there will be no entry. If I do make an entry sans pictures you can call me out on my “promise” not to make an entry absent pictures. I will most likely laugh at you and say prove it. You will then point to my own blog, after which i will promptly delete this entry and say,

“I don’t know what your talking about. What do you mean it was here a minute ago?”

So this was our spot on 6th and Salmon or Salmon & 6th whatever is correct way of saying it.

Lisa’s Parents

 

So there were actually more funny costumes that were before these, but I totally spaced on the fact that I had a camera around my neck. I think I was just so mesmerized by the odd costumes that people wore.

 

Literally streaking by                                                            This chick is hot…oh wait….ima throw up now.

 

                                          Fast Food                                                            one fry short of a happy meal…

 

 

          YEY! we findz LISA & JESS                                                          They don’t look tired at all.

                                                   Wave of a champion

I saw M&L when i forgot i had my camera so here is wario instead                                Four miles and 7 minutes ago our forefathers…

 

                                            Synchronized Swimmers….my eyes are burning and its not from the chlorine.

Totally did not expect to see another president especially this “crook” (you’re welcome history buffs)

 

This happens often to my legos…head falls off                                  Droppin the kid off at the pool (get you’re mind out of the toilet)

 

A caged monkey kid                                                                                                   YEY LISA IZ TEH FINISH!!

 

A Special thanks to Lisa for signing up for the run so that I can get off my lazy bum and actually use my camera for something.

Also to Niki for accompanying me spot hunting even though we totally could have gotten there earlier and gotten a better spot…but oh well.

========================================================================================================

I don’t want to bump down this entry so I will mash my weekend into this giant one. I call these combo entries “spark-note” entries cuz I just summarize a bunch of things that happened into a….well…summary DUH!

 

 .babies in the shower
06.06.10

No I did not see babies in the shower…thats just gross. Oh that reminds me of this picture:

anyways….

J&C’s baby shower

Baby shower is a baby shower what is there to know? I have never been to a baby shower that actually had showers…when I say showers I mean precipitation. I’m not saying rain doesn’t fall when there is a baby shower going on, its just I have never been to one outdoors when it was literally raining. There is not much to say so here are a few shots i took. I totally did not take pictures of the couple. I dont know why….I guess I have always been a object oriented photographer (inanimate objects dont complain that they look too fat or blinked in the picture).

.dear diary

 

ha reminds me of dairy…as in dairy products.
so its been a while since i last pecked out an entry on this here blog.

The only reason i am writing now is to test out my windows live writer on windows 7.
If it works alright i can streamline my photo uploading, as this is still a photo blog.
Unfortunately i have not been able to take a whole lot of pictures as of late because i was being lazy.

I doubt anybody really cares about my lowly blog so it doesn’t really matter when i get around to posting pics.

For now i will be true to the title of my blog and post some random pictures i have taken since my absence.

j05h 16:9 <---------ha my new signature looks like a bible verse. Its actually a reference to an inside joke but let me look it up on biblegateway.com

“It also included all the towns and their villages that were set aside for the Ephraimites within the inheritance of the Manassites.”

LOL!

 

Hmm not bad. liking this template, works well for my landscape pics.

.dandruff 12.29.09

thats what it looked like. finally the first bits of snowfall this winter. hopefully there is more to come as i love taking snow pics. going out taking pictures when there is no one else stupid enough to do so, especially going out just to take pics.

hopefully this winter will be the return of my photo blog. i promise to only put interesting stuff up, as pictures of snow can get boring….”WHOO! more pictures of snow….MEH”

heres to a snowy winter, but not too snowy i still need to get to class ;)

 

 

 

.boom headshot! oh and zombies!

.so today was an unexpectedly sunny day. it was only unexpected if you didn't check the weather like me. today's beams of sunshine were not wasted, for today i was on another shoot. im pretty sure hannah has been looking at the forecast for weeks waiting for the elusive UFO in the sky we apparently call the "sun". here follows the products of said project.

So i pretty much edited and gave her the pictures same day, which is like a record for me.
-------------------------------------------------------------
After the shoot i went out with a friend to Powell’s to sell some textbooks. expecting a nice liesurly stroll to powell’s we were instead met by these folk.
(i wish i had brought my 50mm or 28mm instead of my 100 macro)

YEs thas a guy.

 

even Zombies need their fix.

This is pyramid head. no im not being mean, he is dressed as “pyramid head” a character from Silent Hill 1 or 2 (im thinkin 2)

needless to say i was a bit surprised, and in fear for my brain…for i like my brain in my head not being chewed on by the undead. today was a good day. DOH! i just remembered i need to submit some homework due tomorrow!
im audi 5000

.superman returns

 

ok so not really superman, just supranaMAN
i haven’t been on in awhile as i have been busy with school and have not time for this supposedly addicting hobby. The weather is getting colder and the leaves on the trees are turning. i look outside my window and realize i should be out there taking photos. alas call it “busyness” or just plain laziness, i had never picked up my trusty companion to capture the changing colors this season. So it was a lazy monday no work just about to start my homework when i get a call.

(the follow conversation actually happened, and in no way did i alter any part of the conversation…ok maybe a little)

JN: “Hey man you busy?”

ME: “no, not really wuz crackin?”

JN: “oh you know same deal. yo i wuz wonderin’ if u wantz to be like my personal paparazzi fo’ like me ‘n my girl ”

ME: “hex yea man, fo sho!”

so i dropz wat i wuz doin’…….ehm excuse me. it seems my street language has somehow crept into my normal paragraphs.
so i dropped what i was doing…. homework can wait. Finally the Canon gods looked down upon me and deemed it necessary for an outside force to urge me to pick up my 40d and shoot.

the following is the product of my impromptu photo shoot wid mah boy johan and his woman… who has a name i just wanted to anger all the feminist out there.

Johan | Dani

I claim this land in the name of Awesome.
