So I got a few old cameras this weekend at our mini storage because when people don't pay for a super long time we take their shit. I took them in for my photo professor to check out, and two of them were pretty useless old Polaroids that I dont' really want. The other one is a kick ass 4x5 field camera (the same one he uses) with a pretty new Nikkor 135mm f/5.6 lens on it. Today was good.
Yeah and its nice out so we bought beerage. We've got a parking garage downstairs and the back portion of it is completely open so we chill out there. Ive got lawn chairs set up as well. Gotta be comfy ya know? Come one come all to the party on beaver street! tehehehe

My Boss sent this email to me...He's been out of town for a while, I'm presuming in Guam.
PROOF THAT THE WORLD HAS STRANGE WAYS OF....!
In Lebanon , men are legally allowed to have sex with animals, but the animals must be female. Having sexual relations with a male animal is punishable by death.
(Like THAT makes sense.)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In Bahrain , a male doctor may legally examine a woman's genitals, but is prohibited from looking directly at them during the examination.. He may only see their reflection in a mirror.
(Do they look different reversed?)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Muslims are banned from looking at the genitals of a corpse. This also applies to undertakers. The sex organs of the deceased must be covered with a brick or piece of wood at all times.
(A brick?)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation.
(Much worse than 'going blind !')
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
There are men in Guam whose full-time job is to travel the countryside and deflower young virgins, who pay them for the privilege of having sex for the first time.
Reason: under Guam law, it is expressly forbidden for virgins to marry.
(Let's just think for a minute; is there any job anywhere else in the world that even comes close to this?)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In Hong Kong , a betrayed wife is legally allowed to kill her adulterous husband, but may only do so with her bare hands.
The husband's illicit lover, on the other hand, may be killed in any manner desired.
(Ah! Justice!)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool , England - but only in tropical fish stores.
(But of course!)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In Cali , Colombia , a woman may only have sex with her husband, and the first time this happens, her mother must be in the room to witness the act.
(Makes one shudder at the thought.)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
In Santa Cruz , Bolivia , it is illegal for a man to have sex with a woman and her daughter at the same time.
(I presume this was a big enough problem that they had to pass this law?)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In Maryland , it is illegal to sell condoms from vending machines with one exception: Prophylactics may be dispensed from a vending machine only in places where alcoholic beverages are sold for consumption on the premises.
(Is this a great country or what?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.
(Who volunteers for these tests?)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The ant can lift 50 times its own weight, can pull 30 times its own weight and always falls over on its right side when intoxicated.
(From drinking little bottles of?)
(Did our government pay for this research??)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Butterflies taste with their feet.
(Ah, geez.)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.
(I know some people like that.)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Starfish don't have brains.
(I know some people like that, too.)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
And, the best for last?
Turtles can breathe through their butts.
(And I thought I had bad breath in the morning!)

I'm not too familiar with field cameras, but it says Graflex on it. My photo professor has one, and he said he prefers it over the Toyos we have at school. But he also did some modifications with the shutter (taking it out entirely) that I need to have him show me how to do. It came with a Nikkor 135mm f/5.6 lens though, which is pretty sick!

stoked on Lena 
stoked on school, the people i've been meeting, the music i've been making, the stuff i've been learning. i have yet to go to class and have it feel like "class"... and after spending three and a half years at NMU, it's a breath of fresh air. my midterm for my Survery of the Music Industry course is to design a CD cover, with the option of including a disc of our work... i'm trying to put together a 160-minute, two-disc, two-case, box-set house mix with Lena that includes two original songs and a 10-page booklet for each case. that's my midterm... i never thought i'd be doing anything like that for school, stoked! we'll see how it turns out...

Haha, that's so awesome. I can't jump for shit. How someone can flip on flat ground with no bouncing mechanism is beyond me.
Which reminds me, kids are getting a trampoline tomorrow!!!

6 miles each way isn't that far, but it felt like 60 to my out of shape ass.
hopefully i can keep it up til the snow flies next fall!

Haha, I don't remember posting that hand last night =/
I rode my bike to and from work every day last summer (about 10km round trip) and i fucking loved it! So nice to get some exercise, fresh air, and the sun on your face. Not to mention the path i rode on constantly had babes doing the jogging thing which was nice to watch

I'd ride my bike to work if it wasn't like 35k or so one way. I have recently fired the ninja 250 back up though so hellooooooo 40 mpg commuter.

it is awesome to start the day with some good exercise. i had forgotten how nice it was!
unfortunately it was a bit too chilly in ut for sexy joggers this morning, and i use a side street without a lot of foot traffic to dodge the cars, but there is a huge, awesome park near my house where they are always out on the bike/jogging track. i somehow find a way to "have" to go through there no matter where i'm going
Congrats on the paper drew, especially if finishing it helped get rid of some of that school related stress!

Ash is by far the shibbiest, most amazing person ever! I mean like in terms of how hard she rocks, we're talking diamonds and then some. Look up cool in the dictionary, and you'll find her picture.
thanks for the care package, just as i was loosing all hope in the world and humanity she comes along and throws a monkey wrench in the gears and i've got to reconsider my frustrations.
super huge smile on my face today mega stoke!

It has some old-school curtain shutter in the back, and a newer lens. My professor has a gutted out one where he just uses the shutter in the lens, and he showed me how to do everything today.
Or maybe I will just do some sweet multi-day exposures. Now I just need to figure out if I want to do pain-in-the-ass 4x5, or get a kick-ass 120mm setup like he has. The back for that is $400, so I am strongly leaning toward 4x5. Camera surgery commences as soon as I finish this paper, given I don't feel like going out for drinks immediately tonight.

Alright, possibly the best news I have gotten in a long while. The teacher that I have for business communications class that I hate with a passion has been diagnosed with the Flu.
So I got to thinking, who the hell gets the ordinary, run of the mill flu when it is nearly May? And then it hit me, the bitch has Swine Flu. Neither she nor anyone else but me, and now PH, knows it yet, but the time has come for her to face the facts.
Anyone know where to buy surgical masks?

OH those old shutters in the back. Yeah, use the shutters in the lens, that's how every other 4x5 is designed to work.
Assuming you know what you're doing and why you're photographing whatever you're photographing, just shoot 4x5. It's expensive as fuck in every possible aspect, from buying film to processing to scanning, but is worth it if you've got a reason.

My girl came up clean on her STD panel... which is awesome because I haven't been nearly as responsible as I should have been with condoms. And because she doesn't have HIV. And she loved the present I made her. On a Not Stoked note, I have two exams today and tomorrow and know nothing about either of them.
