Look what I got in the mail *Ttv time finally*

Kodak Duaflexes.

You use these to do Ttv ('through the viewfinder' in case you aren't familiar) photos.

But first you gotta build one of these:

Use a macro lens to take a photo of the Duaflex's bubble eyepiece.

And get odd, sometimes surreal, results.

I've only had them a few hours, so these are only the first few shots I've done.

I am ridiculously excited to do more.

I'm not very good at this

Horse.

That weird place we always end up, in VA

The house.

Tonight in Long Island City:

I heart NY

Boat on the river.

I typed out what each is, because I think maybe the only reason I can tell what they are, is because I did them. Oh sweet insecurity.

Sooooo...

My LEDs are eh. My skills are eh. +This is harder than it looks.

Tonight was an hour and a half of work, 27 images, & only 2 that weren't God awful.

In over a year of doing these, this post contains the best I've produced.

*shame*

Heading upstate tomorrow.

If you're bored...

It's 'cause you're boring.

ps. my kodak duaflex is on the way.

i=obnoxiously excited!

This is

Every picture Tom takes of me (when I let him hold the camera).

*scroll past this nonsense for actual photos*

I just thought I'd share his brilliant talent, if only to make you appreciate my photos a touch more in contrast.

"Hey Meg, compared to that guy who sucks, you're AMAZING!".

Oh I know I'm amazing...compared to that guy who sucks.

And now we can all mock me for being nearly the same shade of white as my dress.

Let's all do that.

Or not.

(I don't even know who "we" is...)


Anywhooooo...

Here is Chinese Virgin Mary and Chinese Baby Jesus
(as seen in Chinatown.)

Poor baby Jesus and his mitten shaped hand. Bet he got a lot of flack for that.


Later...

We went to Washington Square Park. (which despite the appearance of the photos, was paaaaaaaaacked)

And while we sat on the new benches, listened to a group of street musician's play "On Broadway", and watched a guy ride a unicycle with a tourist on his shoulders,

I looked at Tom and said:

"We're really lucky we live here."

I'm obsessed

with this font lately.

Primarily because

my hand writing is ATROCIOUS.

I remember in junior high,

girls practicing

these big, fat, swirly, flirty letters...

until eventually they trained themselves to write like that all the time.

I never did.

Today While Leaving

Color Me Mine in Manhattan, Thomas spazzed and took us into Brooklyn.

We do not live in Brooklyn.

But while heading home on the Brooklyn Queens Expressway, I saw the tip of the top of a ferris wheel.

Me: OH MY GOD A CARNIVAL!

(I am easily excited and a loud mouth.)

It's been done a million times before:

but not by me.

Today was lovely.

I haven't been to a carnival in forever.

My feet hurt.

But it's always nice to finally take pictures you've intended to for forever.

I bought this book a few weeks ago...

But it's so bad, it deserved to be vandalized.

I'm not sure what that smudge on it is.

I had cheese fries for dinner tonight.

That may explain it.

(click to enlarge or I'll...um something threatening)

Last night for dinner I had strawberries.

Things are not going well.

The guy at the diner must think that I have no life.

He's pretty much right.

But hey,

At least I don't work in a diner, fatty.

I'm really pissy this week.
&
I'm sure my Mother will call me
and scold me for posting crappy drawings with curse words.

oh well.

Click around my blog.

there's lots of other less crappy crap elsewhere.

Postcards?

I don't know what these are.

Your guess is as good as mine.

(click to enlarge or coyotes will eat you in the night.)

These remind me of...a lot of things and people.

I'm moody this week.

This is evidence of it.

That and all the yelling at people. =)

These are a few photos I adore but no one else ever would because they weren't there with me.

They needed some 'graffiti'.
or something.

I'm impressed with how inarticulate I am today.

I want to live in a dollhouse.

Or a snow globe.

...

Ocean Grove, NJ.

About 1 mile by mile.

These

houses

are

incredible.

But this one is by far my favorite:

Dear Teenagers of New Jersey,

Your drawing of what appeared to be anatomically incorrect, male genitalia and declaration of "I AM A HOMOSEXUAL" in 6 foot tall letters across the beach, inspired me to draw in the sand as well!

But as you can see, I went a slightly different route:

(click to enlarge or I pout)

Thanks for the idea (or actually the nudge in the direction of an idea (kinda.))

Stay classy youth of NJ!

Love, Meg
