deja vu

so last night I totally had a type of deja vu.

I was shooting pix for the Kraft Kuts party at the Capella and at one point totally remembered being in the same situation. These things happen to me all the time. I guess there’s a lot of glitches in the Matrix but I need to figure out a way to post them before they happen so I can verify that I have actually experienced the deja vu before.

greedo

I think everyone my age knows who Greedo is, and he was one of my favorite characters who lived a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

While doing some QA on our new functionality I had to think of somewhat clever things to post to our development server and in one scenario, I was wondering if Greedo had made it to the wedding since I hadn’t seen him in any of the pix.

So of course I google greedo, and this page I found is fascinating…

I think my favorite thing is just to jack up the volume and hit reload to hear him speak… ah Greedo!

Discoveries…

So in my always changing career as a bodybuilding and fitness photographer, I finally feel like I am somewhat ‘legit’ at what I do.

In fact, I was photographing Andrea Trent (above) when I realized that I think she may become a fairly known athlete in the industry within a fairly short period of time. If in fact, I know anything about what I am doing as a physique photographer, then it’ll be interesting to see how her career evolves, and hopefully I’ll be able to help her out in the process.

kanashibari

Every once in a while I come across words that on an aesthetic or phoenitic level, are attractive. Sometimes, I don’t even know what they mean, and once I look them up they are either more or less interesting.

Schadenfreude was one of the last ones, but kanashibari is my new favorite. I almost want to experience it so I can have a real reason to use it, but for now, I’m content not to have. Here’s a bit more info on kanashibari.

pow!

Being slammed is thrilling in a way. I guess maybe I am addicted the rush of being shot down. Last night I was pretty vanquished pretty hard core…

I just went up to a girl and asked her how she was doing, and she replied “are you actually asking me that?” or something to that effect.

I should have been shocked into stammering silence, but instead, I calmly replied “yes” and smiled back at her to which she merely turned away and that was the end of that.

Kinda reminded me of this interesting little animation that I saw at an animation festival before.
