Sometimes
Nikkormat FTN 35mm f/2.8 Tri-X 400
Sometimes you are walking by an alley and see someone running down it. Sometimes you don't have time to make sure all of your camera settings a perfect. Sometimes you take a risk and take the shot. Sometimes it turns out great. Sometimes it doesn't. But sometimes it turns out just alright and this was one of those times.

I See Red

I have posted before about the power of red, this instance is no different. It will always catch my eye, stimulate my imagination and provoke me in the most primitive ways. I always see red.

I know it doesn't seem like it, but I really try to limit how many photos I take of my dog. A lot of the time it is just her and I out there and dammit I hate shooting landscapes!

"Recycling"
Nikkormat FTN 35mm f/2.8 Tri-X 400
It turns out cigarettes can kill you
Cause when you didn't come back
Every time that I thought of you
I smoked a whole pack
I was up to about seventeen packs a day
I was refueling two
About every hour or so
I drank a bottle of white mule
I wasn't thinking about turquoise
I wasn't thinking about gold
I wasn't thinking about thinking
Or about getting old
Got to be so I didn't care
If I was leaving or loving
Oh, what I was
And what I was becoming
I don't want to in your arms
I just want to die
Don't want to die in you arms
I just want to die
And like a marionette doll
Oh, manned by a fool
I went into the chicken shed
Started looking for tools
Well I worked for a month
Build some sky and some clouds
And I built some myself some angels
With trumpets so loud
Well they played hallelujah
And I knew I was done
I walked through a golden gate with pearl inlays
Saw a never setting sun
Well I knew I was dead
I couldn't do no more harm
Well I built myself a heaven
Where you died in my arms
Well you died in my arms when I died
Well you died in my arms when I died
Well you died in my arms when I died
You died in my arms when I died

Every once in a while I stumble upon a place that fills me with wonder. As I drove past this abandoned nursery I noticed how much life still remained. It seemed hilariously ironic that a place that was built to control life was slowly being devoured by lifes unwillingness to play its keepers rules of angles and geometry. It gave me a sense of contentment knowing that no matter how hard we try to contain the beast that is life, it will always be there, with or with out us. It is a great reminder that life rents us. Our beautiful recyclable beings will be reclaimed by the next.
