pdxsf day five and six

here's what camping looks like!

pdxsf day three

I somehow barely took any pictures in sf, and the ones I did take were shit. again, 86ing the canon after this, I'm just not in a place to learn how a new thing works. ol' reliable-ish mamiya just got a pay raise increase. ANYWAY. alex martin, one of the raddest ladies I know, took me on a whirl wind adventure where we: ate breakfast, texted in nature, drove a car, and ate at in-n-out, all while having deep conversation about life and love and sex and mental health. it was really one of the most beautiful days ever, and exactly how I wish every day of my life was. I wish I had brought some e-6, and my mamiya, cause her hair and her incredibly beautiful eyes were meant for it, and I also wish she lived near me, so we could replay days like this all the damn time.

also during this day, dean helped me get my tire fixed, I hung out with siesta dave, I caught up with veronica, and I went to the bar with all of the people above and more. zero documentation. too busy loving life?

pdxsf day two

because of our late start on thursday, we barely stopped on friday, and when we did, it was usually for gas, but I did get a couple of gems

pdxsf day one

we got a little of a late start, due to the first of two tire problems on the trip, but the fact that we made it to this spot, to take these pictures, means that our timing was perfect. nature, plus justin smoking some tobacco. cause people do that. out of glass pipes. while in nature.

first river trip of 2011:

my first river trip involved an amazing motorcycle ride, buds, babes, perfect weather, and the river. what more could you ask for? first roll shot with the 50mm lens for the canon, and I think I'm gonna go back to the 28mm for the next roll, I like it a lot better.

matt smith

matt smith is one of the most interesting guys I know. from sailing around the world to being obsessed with legos, to being really subtly great with jokes, to being hella smart, matt's one of those dudes that not a lot of people know about, which is a bummer for you fools that are missing out. maybe it's because he hangs out with loud mouths like me, that drown out the way funnier shit that matt says. actually, that's probably it. anyway, matt's rad. stoked that I know the dude.

the drunken late night how are we not getting a noise complaint party

I took a couple of pictures from the late night party in the room, but I think this one is the best. blown out. brodeo with that little half smile that indicates he's wasted. allen laughing so hard that he's almost gonna fall over, while jake looks like he's got his shit together, even though he's using that wall to not fall down. it was a great party, and it was strange being the soberest one in the room. also, I'm pretty sure this party ended with brodeo sleeping in a parking garage, but it's honestly a mystery to everyone where he went.

fuck knuckles and surf turd?

okay, I'm pretty sure that was supposed to say SURF and TURF, but that TURF looks like TURD. also, I wish ciao would have gotten in a fight that night, as his plan to double punch someone and yell "you got fuck knuckled" would have been AWESOME to experience.

pizza party!

i love the the concierge had us pegged as hipsters and told us to order pizza from the hippy pizza place with natural ingredients because, as it turns out, we are hipsters, and it was hella good pizza. ashley, lynda, elliot, and bret.

siesta

where else would I get a picture of the man named naptime? I met david years ago, and he impressed me (and everyone, really) with his ability to take naps any damn place he pleases. he's also a really smart cat, who's very insightful, and generally soft spoken, but who has told me on numerous occasions that I'm an idiot. and usually he was pretty right. stoked that we got to hang out at the rally, wish we got to hang out more often.

longo and ciao

two of my favorite people. I wish jessica could have rallied more, but it was hella great to see her. ciao killed it all weekend, and got drunker that I've ever seen him. so that was a win.

homies

on the bmx is adam who, after this trip we took to the local skate park, has become one of my favorite new people. the dude is mega rad, and I'm super stoked for emily (pic 2, reading the bible) that she gets to hang out with him all the time. good people. then there's some dead thing, and the view from their driveway. fun day, though I was really embarrassed to be so sore from doing a couple of bunny hops.

gems

four more pics from that trip to kelly point park, none of which help determine who was actually on the trip with us. emily's bike, miguel's helmet, miguel and his bike, and some trees.

the oregon coast

our thrifting trip led to the oregon coast. chelsea was THRILLED and not at all bothered by the freezing water.

breakfast of champions

mal, chels, and I went thrifting. with a stop off at hungry tiger first.

that time we went to kelly point park...

so, it's been a while. I think wang was also there? and I wanna say... somebody else? maybe not, but I thought there was five of us? anyway, miguel, emily, wang, somebody maybe, and I went on a ride, on a nice day. it was really pretty. and we went to kelly point park. yup.

meanwhile, back in hawaii...

it apparently took me a long time to finish up one of these rolls of film. I blame it on the fact that it was with my voigtlander, which is a hell of a nice camera, but as it doesn't have a fine manual focus, I didn't shoot nearly as much with it. at any rate, amy, one of my fine and wonderful hosts in honolulu, at the beginning of the roll, all washed out.

angel!

angel is by far my favorite tattoo artist ever, and just hella rad all around. here she is being bundled up, and shooting a gun! yay portland vacation!
