So, I don't think I've come to terms with being a "photographer" yet... especially since all my work is digital these days. I miss film, I miss the darkroom, I miss actually making something, as opposed to sitting on my ass staring at a computer for hours. Film is dying and I don't want it to. Curse me for loving something that revolves around technological advancements. Bleh.
Heheh, I'm done, my rants are so short lived.
I think as a gift to myself I'll purchase some of the tools required to have my own dark room from the school (somehowi'lldoit) since they don't use ANY of that stuff!
...and the smell of fresh chemicals at 3am...

"Thank you for calling..."
"...your 24 hour Walgreens, this is Hershel in Photo speaking, how may I help you."
(you bet your sweet little hide there is a smile in my voice)
So, as of a few weeks ago I am officially the "Head Photo Specialist" (that means a dollar pay raise and a metric s*** ton of responsibility).
I am in the process of cleaning out and re-organizing the photo lab, the place is such a mess. Whilst in the midst of beakers, chemicals, expired paper, tubes, buckets and corroded something or others my manager informs me that the lab hasn't been thoroughly cleaned/organized since she was the HPS (I think that was around 4 or more years ago). BUT! I am almost done, since I've been doing this sine the day they promoted me.

This semester has gone by way too fast... the only things I really remember are going to school, and going to work... I'm pretty behind in most classes... mmm, yeah. Just checked. I am. This summer will be such a relief! Not being required to do anything but work is gonna be one heck of a vacation! (that is what it seems like now anyway) I'm not sure how I'll take to fall classes... bleh... school... bleh. I am definitely one of those people that college was not meant for, but by God I'm gonna finish!

Just got a phone call from one of me boys, Mr. Morgan Victor Chesky, so I have totally lost my train of thought... if I had one to begin with.
It is nice to have good friends that no matter how long it has been since you last spoke, it seems as if you had just hung out yesterday.
The last time I did any sort of camping/backpacking was about three years ago with Morgan and two friends of ours... Big Bend National Park... it was a rather lax, I think it was only about 50 or so miles, in five or so days... hmm. I think I'm well past due for a week or more spent in the amazing outdoors. HAH! and now I can bring a flip'n camera!
Ok, back to doing what I should be doing... you can't tell me to go be productive (and have some goal in mind), cause I'll find something else to do (I can rarely make myself do what I should).
