Weekend in San Diego.

Playing: "Missin' You (Remix)" - Trey Songz ft. Drake

I went home to San Diego this past weekend and decided that I really needed to start putting some of my other cameras to use, so I only brought my Diana Mini & my Polaroid ONE600. I think the film is stuck in my Mini (uh-oh), but I did get some shots with my Polaroid during a night out with my girl friends. We had dinner at Hash House A Go Go in Hillcrest and then went to The Tractor Room, also in Hillcrest, and The Brew House at Eastlake (really random place for a brew house, by the way) for drinks and such. It was a lot of fun. We don't get to go out together much, but when we do, there's never a dull moment! I have truly beautiful, amazing friends. (:

52 Weeks project, week 36.

Playing: "Superhuman" (cover) - Andrew Garcia & Kat Badar

Queen Alice Mod ring from the Acid Alice collection by Tarina Tarantino.
After work, I decided to drive down to Disneyland to hit up Disney Vault 28 in Downtown Disney. I was hoping they'd have some good Alice in Wonderland products since the new Tim Burton version of the movie is coming out next month. And of course, they did! I didn't know that Tarina Tarantino did an Alice in Wonderland collection, but was super excited when I saw this ring in the display case. I had to get it. I love that she used the illustrations by Sir John Tenniel! (Because Lewis Carroll's illustrations scare me.)
I'm so excited for this movie to come out. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is probably my favorite book. It's maybe the only book I've ever read multiple times in its entirety. (And yet, I don't own a copy of it.) Anddd, I'm a huge Johnny Depp fan. Planning on going to see the movie in 3D at the El Capitan with some of the kids in my cohort. [: Can't wait.
And the guy who sold me the ring told me that the cast will be at the Hollywood & Highland Center tomorrow for a free concert featuring songs/artists on the soundtrack. I don't know if I'll brave the crowds for that, though. Maybe I'll just stream it from MySpace.

52 Weeks project, week 35.

Playing: "Love at a Distance" - Ryan Bandong

Sweetwater Park, Chula Vista, CA.
I'm making some progress on this project! Less than 20 more weeks/photos to go! I'd rather be practicing on other people though...

Excited!

Playing: "Eh Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)" - Lady GaGa

Three girls in my cohort asked me about doing portrait shoots for them tonight! I'm very excited and extremely flattered that they would ask! I can't wait to scout some places to shoot in Los Angeles and set up these photo shoots!

And if these go well, maybe I can justify (to myself) buying the Sony HVL-F58AM flash for my camera and doing more shoots. Maybe I can turn this into a summer job when I'm not working as a school counselor? Summer = wedding season, after all. [;

Polaroid vs. digital.

Taken with my Polaroid ONE600.

Taken with my Sony Alpha 300.
I'm still trying to figure out my feelings towards digital cameras & film cameras. I still want a point-and-shoot, for the sake of having a camera to carry in my purse at all times again. On the other hand, there's just nothing like a fun film camera. I wonder if I should invest in a flash for my dSLR as well. The possibilities are endless. (:

52 Weeks project, week 34.

Playing: "I'll Meet You There" - Owl City

You could be anywhere;I'll meet you there.
I've been doing this self-portrait project, 52 Weeks, since October of 2008. You're supposed to take one self-portrait each week for a year, but, obviously, I'm a ~~little~~ lot bit behind. I'm slowly working towards finishing it. Other photos from this project can be viewed here.

My favorite love definitions.

This one is my iPhone wallpaper. (:
