Freaks and Geeks is owning my life.

I bought a new 35mm camera today, I just completed my order for a super 8 camera, and tomorrow I'm placing an order for my very own 4x5 Toyo Field camera. I have had a crazy resurgance of black and white images....the contrast and grain and what the hell happened to my obsession with color? I still want a holga with a flash, a better printer, a new laptop, lights, endless supplies of film, and the energy and motivation to get off my ass and shoot non-stop. Crits happened all day thursday and friday. Mine went well, lots of good ideas thrown around. No one called me a racist and no one yelled so I can safetly say it all went much better than summer. Europe or Mexico? I'll see one or both soon. Maybe for visit or for a long, long stay.

I finally feel like I have a good group of friends set up in New York. Surprisingly (or maybe not) they are pretty much all from Florida...with a few other states here and there creeping in. I am enjoying NY in a way I never expected and all that snow I've been dreading/wishing for made a brief cameo last week when it snowed for all of 5 minutes. Then two days later it was 70 degrees. That drama I resolved to leave in 2006 is trying to creep back in but I'm not letting it. I miss my Kims. I need girl friends here.
