Expired Film

Okay, fine. I didn't exactly take a roll of expired film. I took a roll of aged film. Aged how? Sun-aged. I left a roll of film out in direct sunlight for a month. If I don't say so myself, the results were wonderful See for yourself:

As always, you can go to my flickr for more pictures. Happy belated Fourth of July!

Life is Good

I know I don't normally write things like that. I know I'm not the most optimistic person. I know that you're probably surprised to see what the title of this post is. My life has been good lately. School is out, I've been spending time with friends, and I'm in a play with college students. I'm enjoying each day. I just baked some delicious creme brulee. I've been shooting film again. Normally, I live in the future. There's always something I want that I can't have, and I trick myself into believing I'll get it "later". I'm trying to live each day as it comes.
And I got this:

I've been busy lately in many ways. I've been doing a lot of photography lately,too, and I've realized something: photos are easier that words. You know how they say that a picture is worth a thousand words? I think that's why. It's the same reason why I haven't been blogging lately. I've been doing a lot on Flickr, and it's a great experience and a huge self-challenge. Here it is:http://www.flickr.com/photos/geckoempire/. I'm not trying to have a self-pity party, but I don't get much feedback on it. If you have any, and you don't have a flickr account, you can comment here or e-mail me. Merci.
