...so... amanda and scott are off....

...my good friends Amanda and Scott left for Oregon earlier today... they will be driving a dodge van across the country for two weeks... i wish i could go with them...

they are both artists... and i know scott from engineering... but... apparently as it turns out... neither one of us ended up using what we spend four years of our lives because our true calling is somehwhere else...

he is an awesome painter... and an ace guitarist... no wonder we got along so well... they will be missed... but i am sure i will be able to go out and visit them soon enough...

the story behind the photograph... well... i spent days planning this out... we had a costume at hand too... when i was setting up lights last night... one of the local security people came up and said... we coudlnt have the van on the grass, understandable, and we couldnt take photographs without a permit...fuckin retarded... we live here... anyway... pissed i started packing up... then decided... we should do a photo anyways... cause i think we have every right too... went along to do some serious strobist stuff... light painting with a sb800... came out pretty well i thought...

all for now... class start tomorrow... i am still setting up my studio... going NUTsssssss
