Stuck this weekend...
« on: June 11, 2007, 01:10:25 AM »
...but not at home! Nice not being in school, so I'm taking lots of road trips this summer. today went to a place called vulture mine outside of wickenburg (about 60 miles from phoenix). actually, i had planned on visiting a few 'middle of nowhere' mines, also, but i got very stuck trying to cross the very wide, very dry hassayampa river. fortunately i wasn't too far out. just had to hike about a quarter mile across the sand to a ranch (after covering my entire body with dirt trying to get out of the fix myself), and a really nice old rancher guy pulled me out with his tractor.  so i said to hell with that and headed to the accessible vulture mine. very sweet place. 7 dollar donation and you just wander around wherever you want (except the actual mines).  sweated it out for about three hours until i was hungry,  dirty and out of film. a few polaroids, expired 107 for the 195 and 87 for the square shooter, from the day... anyone else do anything fun?

Hmmm... I worked Saturday. But managed to squeeze off one or two on the Sunday. Sat on the kerb in the warm wind and watched the passing parade as the sun went down. The camera was just along for the ride. I really like this latest stuff of yours too Sean.

Attached is the one from from Sunday. Skj.

Sean, you are becoming rather fancy with these Poli's, you are....you too, Hong Kong, Fooy. Har har. What the heck is a kerb? Let the next round begin!!

I tried to shoot a bizarre session over the weekend with my little pal featuring her as a raven. I didn't get enough shots and will have to give it another round. I made wings out of cardboard and black construction paper...with paper feathers. I also made a black beak out of a birthday hat, painted, but is hardly noticed. I used the Great Wall + homemade lensy. I have to try again...

A lot of  great stuff here, that's got me itching to get out.

UPS guy just left off some color Polaroid film for me and
thank goodness the weekend is near and I'm not up to my eyes in house plan stuff so I can get out and waste some film!

viva la waste

Nice Sean!
I've been stuck in Wickenburg also!
Very cool ghost town around there. Would love to go back sometime.
