Hard Luck in a Red Kimono


Hard Luck in a Red Kimono

For my final series in my Medium Format class I chose to do somewhat of a photo documentary on the kids I work with. I've never felt so attached to a series of photos before. It's strange.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Is it possible to be friends with someone you don't have any respect for? This question has been bugging me a lot lately. I feel like, as a Christian, I struggle with knowing that I need to love the people around me but can I feel love for someone whose life disgusts me, who I don't trust, whose personal integrity is a joke? I mean, how can I be FORCED to respect someone. I don't know.

"Respect is an assumption of good faith and competence in another person or in the whole of oneself. Depth of integrity, trust, complementary moral values, and skill are necessary components."-wikipedia


Romans 12:10
"Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves."

"A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know"


"Judgment rarely marked her work; only an eagle's eye for composition and for the perfect moment – as well as her sympathy for people she likely saw, oddly given her background, as fellow outsiders."

"July 1971, Arbus committed suicide in Greenwich Village at the age of 48 by ingesting a large quantity of barbiturates and then slashing her wrists. Rumor held that she photographed her suicide, but no photos were discovered."

Put it on my tab, good sir!

iTunes: "The Only Living Boy in New York" by Simon and Garfunkel

It's good to know that all that money I spent at Cassil's Coffee in an attempt to see and/or talk to hot coffee boy, resulted in nothing except a significant decrease in my bank account. If he still worked there (a little bird told me that he quit this past week) then maybe it would have been worth it, but noooooo. Nadda. Oh but I shall dream of that wonderful head of hair ::sigh::...

Bruce Campbell vs Jack Bauer

I dare propose this ever important, life-changing question:

Jack Bauer and Bruce Campbell; who would be able to save us in the ever imminent zombie apocalypse?

People, I present to you the facts:

Jack Bauer:
-HE FREAKIN' SHOT SOME GUY'S WIFE IN THE LEG, RAN INTO A ROOM FILLED WITH NERVE GAS, AND HIJACKED A PLANE TO SAVE AMERICA!! That's pretty hardcore! Not to mention any man who can defeat terrorists that many times is clearly capable of defending us against a horde of undead.

Bruce Campbell
-The man cut off his own hand and replaced it with a chainsaw....whoa. That...is....awesome. Need I mention he defeated an ARMY OF DARKNESS?! Who could ask for more?

Circumstances under which I would eat a baby

1. It was a baby CHOCOLATE bar or if the baby was made of chocolate
2. Jesus or Bruce Campbell told me to do it

Facebook Smiles

At some point I became addicted to facebook. I don't even know how it happened. I spend way too much time on it.....it's like a drug. Facebook has these cool new applications that you can add, one of which being HONESTY BOX. It's this nice little box that you put on your "profile" in which people post anonymous comments about you. To be completely honest, I only put it on there because in order to comment on OTHER people (in THEIR honesty box) you have to have the application yourself.

I never really liked the idea of being critiqued in secret or laying out a door mat that says "Annonymously tell me things that you hate about me!". I always meant to remove the application but I forgot. By chance, I checked it today.

This is what I found:
(From a boy)
"This'll sound really weird. I barely knew you at all in high school. A mutual friend said something about you wanting me to ask you to a dance or something like that. I said no, but ended up regretting it because the few interactions I had with you I realized that you were cute and funny. This'll torture you I'm sure, hah hah. But really, this is actually creepy of me, because I haven't even spoken to you since high school."

The nice thing about HONESTY BOX is that you can respond to that person. Here is what I said:
"Creepy? Nah! One time Linzy, Tamila, and I drove to some guy's house to grab grass from it because Linzy was obsessed with him. Now THAT'S creepy. Good times...good times.

Thanks for the compliment."

I have a vague idea of who it is just because only FRIENDS who have the Honesty Box application can comment and I'm pretty sure I know who it was. I am flattered and it makes me smile.
