Bend it Like Beckham

So today I finally caught Bend it Like Beckham with my friend Gunita. Definitely a cool little flick since I like soccer chicks, girls with British accents, insights into other cultures, some pop culture (OK, I am a Beckham fan) and a good film… Plus Keira Knightley (pictured on the right, above) is pretty hot, although I think I read that she’s like 17 – ouch!

It was another deceptively beautiful but chilly day in the city, so I wandered around a bit looking for something to photograph and went back to doing company and personal taxes some more…

Vegged out and watched Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas for the first time, and it was OK. I did like how they depicted different aspects of acid trips – fairly accurate I’d say…

ch-ch-ch-changes

I love change, and there’s a ton of it going on… the high monkey monk is forsaking his monkhood and I’ve decided to try and be open to a long term relationship. I think I am going to give up alcohol for a brief period, and go hear more live music. What’s driving this? nothing and everything… i have to change myself or else I will become stagnant and bored. And to help drive my own creativity, pushing my own limits is necessary. And my friend Kora reminded me of my perpetually-pending trip to Madagascar…

I just read an interesting interview with James Nachtwey, a photojournalist who’s work I really admire. He has covered genocide, wars, and so it felt timely to read up more on him. I think I’ll check out War Photographer too if it’s playing in the city, since I feel like I would like to do work like that if I had the opportunity.

Macro fun

So it was such a beautiful day out and I wasn’t feeling too hot, so I went to In-N-Out for my hangover and afterwards went to read in the park. There were some flowers and I had my macro lens on the camera, so I played around with it a little bit and this is what I got…

New servers and pix!

So the servers have been moved over so photos again on the blog. Last night was weird since the war started, and it was a bit surreal. Today there are protesters on the street, and if I wasn’t such a lazy ass, I’d be out there myself.

War sucks…

So it just kinda sunk in as I read about protesters (go!) getting arrested downtown here in SF. We’re going to go to war and that sucks ass. I liked what some of them are chanting: “Support our troops, bring them home.”

fuck…

I’m naked

Today I sold my D30 and 24-85 lens, my first forays into both digital SLRs and the world of autofocus. Luckily since it’s raining outside and I’m about to head out, I won’t have to carry my camera with me.

For my 31 project, I had to pop off a quick shot since the buyers came right over.

Tonight I am free and bare without my DSLR…
