bored on a saturday

2006.09.28

i went w/ greg saturday on a portfolio-building model shoot to help out. set up lights, reflectors, assist the models and whatnot. i didn’t plan on spending much time behind the camera, i hanged out and learned.

greg undoubtedly got some great shots (linked once he processes them.) when i wasn’t busy holding reflectors, moving fans, lights, or drinking coffee, i saw only one shot/perspective that was missed. i asked for the camera and took one picture.

trick or treat

2006.09.26

i dressed up as john wayne gacy for halloween one year. amanda dressed up as velma from scooby doo. we walked around the zoo for their haunted zoo thing collecting candy.

kids ran up to me for candy and wanted their picture taken. 20 something parents had no clue. older adults gave me dirty looks.

tmbo reminds me of the strangest things.

shopping

2006.09.25

shirt and pants for a wedding.

buying things that i like? not a problem.
finding something that kinda matches what i like while trying to save money? sucks. some people live for the bargain hunt. i hate it.

image hosted from my router's control panel

dd-wrt sp2 is out. i upgraded. web-management interface didn’t work for me. if your router is like mine, you will have to hard-reset after the firmware upgrade. docs don’t indicate it but that’s what i had to do (yet)
