What are your jeans doing today?

[-Z-]

have a good night / morning out there

edit: almost forgot this bad ass installation made entirely from phone chargers and power strips...

[ranonranonarat]

that installation is kickass. great pictures as well. seems like you have been shooting a lot of BnW these days. miss those non BnW shots when you were still shooting on your most basic setup with kit lens. haha. that was what? 1.5 years ago?

have you had any unfortunate shooting incidents in china yet? like you were chased by an angry mob or something.

[-Z-]

hahaha. Thanks Ranon! Yea I should bust out Aperture to do some color editing in the style i used to use back then...haven't touched it in about a year and a half. I honestly miss that setup back then...my 500D with 20mm f/2.8 is still my favorite combo that i've ever shot on.

yea, its been a bit of a black and white month here, must be all the fog / smog / what have you in the air. I've got a ton of color stuff from the summer palace sitting here I just haven't gotten around to posting it yet. its a bit more cheery!

SuFu's version of What Not to Wear:

seriously, it looks like something out of VICE's Do's and Don'ts.

[kansas]

i love seeing old dudes lookin' like that. keeping their version of "it" real.

Awesome stuff the last pages. I really liked the tempest shots by riff and (knowing that I operate on a totally different level) attempted to catch a lightning myself. Result:

x-post from FH WT.

So, I went to NC this weekend! Flew down, which was all fun and good, but then drove back up... 13 HOURS!!!! That sucked. Anyways, the 2 things that I wanted this whole entire trip (if you ever go down south these are the 2 things you MUST buy), boiled peanuts and beef jerky (the good kind, not the big name crap).

Anyways, to start it off I went to LGA and took 2 flights. 1 to Ohio then to charlotte Nc. I boarded the plane in style.

Took off..

And as we were landing in NC the clouds were humongous.

And the fact that my mom drove down there (took her 2 days... smh), she couldn't even pick me up at the airport on time, had to wait an extra hour so I bought possibly the best smoothie I have ever had from starbucks strawberry smoothie.

Well, unfortunately I lost a day and the sun set..

We did eat at this place though, and I ordered a kappa makki (spelling?)_and shumai

Then we walked around town

then it was time to go back to the place where we were staying. Next morning we woke up and went for an adventure but here is where we were staying.

[laxlife1234]

(10 chars)..

Actually, first we went looking at houses (don't ask why), but I won't be moving down there anytime soon. On the way we also stopped off and got a few things, no. Boiled peanuts happens later on, they weren't hot so I said no but we got some fresh fruit from there.

Finally we were on our way to our adventure.. On the way I thought this was pretty blue collar, don't know why but just did.

So where we went was some mountain place, IDR the name, but we started on this trail to a mini-stream/waterfall..?

Still going 15 minutes later...

Still going..

Hai spider.

Hai flowers

Still hiking...

Finally we made it! (wasn't this beautiful), but rest assured it was pretty nice.

then we started heading back

[laxlife1234]

(10 chars)...

Getting closer...

There we are!

Then we began drove to another trail which led to a huge waterfall!

Everyone was having fun!

Then as we were walking back our dogs met new friends.

As we were driving after we left we passed a place that sold boiled peanuts! FINALLY! So I obvioulsy bought them..

Then we went mining for gems!

[laxlife1234]

(10 Chars)...

what I got:

Day 2 done. We just drove back, then stopped off at a supermarket, got some food.. Then headed off to dinner.

We ate at this place, I got pizza which was OK, nothing compared to NYC pizza.

After that it was time to go home.

Day 3:

We headed to SC to look at houses down there as well (Unfortunately). Before we met with the realtor we visited this college. Probably THE hands down nicest college campus I have seen.

Ate at this place, and the waitress was probably one of the nicest/funniest girls I have ever met.

I ordered this (thought it looked good on my camera but turns out you can barely make out what I had).

It was just fancy french toast and bacon.

It was a nice little town

Then out of all the houses that we were shown (when we met the Realtor and was shown 5 houses), it was HUGE. May not look it, but damn the house was pretty damn big.

Then we stopped off at DQ - BUTTERFINGER BLIZZARD!!!!!!

[laxlife1234]

(10 chars)...

then my camera started to die - this was the last picture I was able to get. But we basically drove to clemson then to a huge lake, then back to the cabin (took about 2.5 hours to get back)..

Day 3 complete.

Day 4 began, at 5 a.m. When I first got up it was still dark. We had to drive back. 13 damn hours. It sucked.

But the benefit was the sunrise was absolutely amazing! Pictures don't look nearly as good as the sun was. I am just saying that the sun was HUGE when it first rose.

was listening to music the whole entire time.

Then about 6-7 hours into the trip we got held up for 30 min for no reason.. Literally the traffic was stopped not moving at all. I was pissed but finally when we started moving this is why we were stopped..

Then about another hour or so later we stopped to get lunch at the cadillac diner. I had nothing since I was just groggy tired and for some reason not hungry at all.

arrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Spotted a blimp

[laxlife1234]

(10 Chars)...

Then in PA (of all places) this place - amazing - had beef jerky. I went to the south to get beef jerky but I find in the north.. wtf. Another reason for me NOT to go down south again.

FINALLY I was in NY

Yay, and that ends my trip :-)

[ayo4yayo]

zeen the up close facial expressions of your bugs look humanish! You are an amazingly talented photog...you're one of the few that can actually get paid for your art! The facial and skin level details put the viewer in another world altogether-very compelling!

[zeen]

Thanks shub for the kind words. I'm still learning how to take beautiful pictures. I love the great outdoors. Plus taking pictures of bugs can be a great work out as you need to hike and also bend and squad just to get the nice shot. Giving my sams a rough time!

[Big Eyed Fish]
