I think a bird shartted on my car. My entire car is sprinkled with white bird poop. Here's how i think it played out:

The bird was flying over my car and had bad stomach aches but was trying to hold it in. Must be lactose intolerant and had some cheese. Anyways, it was definitely trying not to poop until it got home but all of a sudden, it sneezed causing a fart to come out. Little did it know that it wasnt just air that exited... as it flew over my car, it sprayed the air with white poo and decorated my car with sprinkles.....

A question was asked to a lot of the film photographers on flickr asking them to give their opinions on digital cameras and digital photographers and i thought id share my response on xanga too.

So i dont understand how someone who has a digital camera can ever efficiently improve as a photographer. let me explain: WIth a digital camera, you have an "infinite" amount of shots that you're allowed to take. On top of that, u can see ur results instantly and choose to re-shoot, delete, or even make it into a B&W before you but it onto ur computer or print a hard copy of it. Come on, with a digital camera, you cant 200 shots of the same thing and AT LEAST one of them has to be decent. How is that being creative, visionary, insightful or a good photographer. With film, we need to process our photos before we can see them, we need to be sure that it's what we want, we dont have a delete button, nor do we have the luxury to take a thousand shots and pick a handful of them and claim to be a skill photog.

I saw a wedding photographer just clicking away, almost 30 pics a minute. yeah, she's paid to get the shots and make the wedding into a beautiful memory, but there is NO skill in just shooting billions of shots and assuming that 10% of them will be good enough for the client to be satisfied. whatever happened to knowing the angles, finding the joy in the challenges that come from expressing urself through ur lens. i just dont understand how photography has evolved into glorified point and shoot.

for those who use digital, im not saying ur all bad, im just saying that there are a lot of "professionals" out there that are getting away with charging people hundreds of dollars for accidental shots.  and for the record, yes, i would love to get a digital some day, but honestly, i would not be the photographer that i am if it wasnt for learning and growing with a film camera.  P.S.  i still have no idea what im doing, i just love taking photos.  i just dont respect photographers who confuse accidental angles, lighting, and cameras settings as talent.

Worst first couple days of school EVER!  most epic fail!

First day: My car starts to overheat (AGAIN) on the way to school so i have to pull over and i miss my first class of the year.  Luckily, the professor was cool and said " what are you, a freshman? who cares, its the first day of school. Just make sure u read for next wednesday" 

SO, i go to the book store to buy these books so im not the first idiot to not know whats going on in class.  I need to get four books, one more expensive than the next so i can only buy two.  I didnt have my syllabus with me so i just grab any two hoping that at least of the books are what i need for next wednesday.... fail.... its the really expensive on that i need

Second day: Car once again has issues and i have to stop again.  I missed my first class this morning too... 

I get done with class and start driving home, car's over heating AGAIN, but this time, its really hot REALLY fast!  i tell myself, "its ok, keep going, just get home, just get home!"  I'm JUST about to turn into my driveway and it dies......... i hate my car so much...... i had to push it into my inclined driveway.....

I go onto my computer and get an email from m advisor "adam, two of the 4 classes that you're taking will not count for your major, u need to drop from them and find 3 more classes."  i think, "what?  drop 2 and add 3?"  FAIL!!!!!!!!

i'm so tired....................
