Overload

If you follow me on flickr, you may have noticed the recent upload of nearly 200 photos from my trip to China. I know it's a bit overwhelming so I'm going to begin posting them here in smaller groups tomorrow. Until then, feel free to flick through them yourself here.

Insomnia

Empty beds have become the hardest to sleep in.

This is a really old photo. I just realized I like it.

The Return

I've spent the last week or so (I got back to Portland on Tuesday night last week) doing pretty much nothing. I haven't been scheduled to work, I don't have school anymore, and there isn't much I really need to do (besides some chores that I have managed to avoid quite successfully. What I really want to do is go print in a darkroom. I want to spend my whole summer hidden away in there, learning through experience, teaching myself how to create what it is I actually want with my film. I wish I knew something about printing color film, I'd go do that in a heartbeat too. Since I don't though, I'm thinking I'll focus on perfecting my black and white printing. I have tons of photos from China, but I haven't gotten around to loading them onto flickr. I'll get to it soon, but right now I'm enjoying doing nothing and indulging myself in laziness. It's not something I always allow myself to do, especially not for this long.
