My first rule of comic cons: Don’t spend more than you make… but within the first hour of the Stumptown Comics Fest, I had already accrued 15 books. My table was slow today, but at least I got to work my way through some great comics. I mean, some really fucking great comics… so much so that I’d feel bad if I didn’t share them with you guys: Continue reading →
I’m digging these shots, but still bummed that I’m still getting underdeveloped film in my process. Granted, it’s a bit moody…

Last week was our 2nd annual Climber’s Prom at Mission Cliffs. As with last year’s photos, I stuck with Lomo’s 800 ISO color negative film. A few of these shots are from my Diana F+, but most of my favorites were shot on my GR-1 (which is great with color and low light). I’m posting a few of my favorite shots here (more on Flickr) or a quick Lightt video here.

It’s been a while since I’ve shared some black and white film shots, so here’s the first batch I’ve taken since my zine came out. The shot above is kind of cool because it’s my friend Lauren, aka The Chalkstress, thumbing through American Analog for the first time. Not only does she appear in this issue, drawing chalk on the sidewalk, she seems to know so many other folks inside. Each time I see her she has more to say about the photos. I’m touched she likes the issue so much.

I knew from the beginning that I’d like each copy of American Analog to come wrapped in a strip of 35mm film, but it took some time to figure out where to get that much. Originally, I had the idea I’d somehow transfer my logo onto each strip of film myself, but time and cost was too prohibitive. As my search continued, I discovered a thriving 35mm movie market on eBay. I wasn’t looking to destroy full length movies, but I figured movie trailers were fair game.

I opened the Vine app yesterday to take a peek around and wasn’t too shocked to see no new posts from any of my friends in the last month or so. I was surprised, however, that there haven’t been any new “editor’s picks” in over a month. So when I (and probably most other users) open the app this will be the familiar image there waiting at the top of our feed.
This probably means one of two things:
1. The editors haven’t checked the app since March 20th.
or
2. This was the greatest Vine of all time… This is as great as it gets so we can all stop trying.
I never really saw much need for Vine myself since I’ve already been loving Lightt for so long. I love Lightt’s interface and I think they continue to rock this mobile-video space even when a new competitor came along. They are also pretty active on their own platform.
Last year some friends and I put together our own “prom night” at our local climbing gym. Climbing in our fancy outfits was totally fun, so I’m so excited to do it again. This year we are teaming up with Mission Cliffs to make the 2nd Annual Climber’s Prom even more of a night to remember.
We’ll have a cheesy photo area set up (complete with obligatory doric column and backdrop) so you can capture the magic of this night forever! Be sure to wear your fanciest poofy dress and duct tape tuxedo. Punch will be provided, as will quintessential prom memories.
Friday April 19th, 6-10pm at Mission Cliffs. Normal gym rates apply.
I snapped a shot and somebody on 6th street didn’t like it, so I deleted it… and, by accident, all the other photos I had taken over the last week. The combination of button presses for “formatting” is surprisingly similar to “deleting” on a Zumi. Thanks to some folks on Twitter I learned that I may be able to retrieve some of the shots through special data recovery software… these are some of the shots I saved.
