...more photos...
I have been thinking for a while how that for an art site, by blog doesn't have lots of pictures. mav called me on it yesterday, so here we go. More photos. More pictures of my stuff, even if it is half finished. I have two in progress robots, and another two robots that are just piles of fabric. My main problem is that I don't have a digital camera (work does though and I borrow it all the time - hence the photo above). I know in this day and age, but I could never get around to getting one. I love my camera, and the Holga is amazing. I love proper film, but the digital takes great things as well.
My excuse for the Holga is that I got some pictures printed and they were crap. I know that I can do a better job, but I just need to go down and print them at ABC No Rio. I haven't been in a dark room for like ten years and I am a little nervous (maybe a lot). But it has been on my mind! I am trying to remember how it goes, printing.
Plus I have to get supplies and I am more than poor right now, so I am saving up for paper and the like. I want to print over full frame, so I need to file out a negative holder. See how many excuses I have! Baby steps and everything, but I will do it. I look at the envelope of negatives everyday. I promise I will make an effort to get all my supplies so I don't have anything else standing in my way (besides myself of course).
The photo above was taken with a digital photo. There is this amazing building on Thirteenth Street and this wild flowing plant grows all over it. Its like a secret building, I feel like one day you'll have to crawl under to get to the door, like the prince in sleeping beauty. Very magical.
**Hey aiko did you get a job?**

oh yeah!! i love this picture ... thanks for sharing!
i was really not into a digital camera whatsoever. i am stricking a film kind of gal, have been and always will be. but then i started p2p with arc and needed one so i took the plunge. it was really worth it. i didn't spend too much and although now my camera is already in need of replacement {which i knew would happen!} i'm still happy that i have it. i find myself now bringing 2 or 3 cameras on trips or even for a weekend somewhere to get film, polaroids and/or digital. it's all there... each thing fits a different need.
oh i have babbled. it's late and i should be working... wanting to go home from this long biz trip. anyway, be well!! mav

This is in the middle of the city? Amazing. I haven't been to New York since I was a kid. I'd love to see it again with adult eyes.

Hi Wendy,
What a beautiful photograph!! It's so strange to think that in the middle of a concrete jungle, there is this very lush, beautiful garden. Goes to show that you can find beauty everywhere!
