nick came out to visit portland after years of talking about it. one of the first things we did was head to mt hood and shoot guns in the snow. I really hope I did a good job of showing him how we do in Portland.

lil emily. ememily. etc emily.

I'm really glad we got emily back. it felt like forever that she was in this strange alternate universe, a desolate black hole. but now she's all normal and fun again. and with a coonskin hat.

miguel

miguel has this beautiful bike. it's pretty awesome. I think I wanna buy it from him when he decides to sell it.

i forgot photography.

sorry about that. I'll do my best to remedy the situation. portland in the winter. from my porch. there's snow, but you have to look for it.

the broken mamiya, part two.

in seattle, I hung out with natalia, a wonderful friend who I have known since I was 17. which was 14 years ago. which is a really, really, really long time. we went out for drinks in the daytime and talked about mental health. very rewarding. I'm pretty in love with that first picture, even though it would have been nice to see it without the light leaks.

the broken mamiya, part one.

so, my $12 SLR, that I love, that has served me so well, has gained some being broken to it. Some of these look alright, even with the massive light leaks, mostly I wish these pictures would have came out alright. oh well. it is what it is. vic and I went to seattle. vic's vw caddy got us there awesomely, followed by fucked up flowers, and talia's arm while driving.

f/s: one gently used belt buckle

this shit's going on ebay. a vast improvement, even if it doesn't actually help keep pants up anymore.

THIS IS WHAT FIGHTING FOR YOUR FREEDOM LOOKS LIKE

james shooting the shit out of some shit.

arwen

I've mentioned arwen's awesomeness and gun lovingness many times, (like here: ARWEN) and the only thing I really have to add this time is that she's a scorpio, and we bro-d down about that, and her skylark, while a really debatable mode of long distance travel, did a fine job of getting us to simon's and back. she's still rad, she's still tougher than you, and there we are.

meggan

meggan's pretty rad. I don't know much about her, something about redneckery in her past, but never having shot a gun before, she works at a cafe, she wears doilies, which I don't even know if that's how you spell that. but she seems pretty awesome. so that's cool. I would question her sense of direction, especially when drunk, but my friend elias once walked four miles in the wrong direction while wasted, and he's lived in portland for like 7 years. it happens. anyway, if I wasn't lazy, I'd make an animated gif of the first two pictures. also, she looks sort of scart with that tec, no?

not with gun

I like this picture of mica. she wasn't shooting anything, but it's still pretty rad.

victor

so, I only got a couple good shots of vic shooting, mostly because he didn't yell or walk at targets or shoot with the gun sideways as much as everyone else. but I really like the one of him here with the tec, and I think he and mica ended up making a really weird/awesome picture together.
