escherrrr!!!!

procrasination's a bitch...

since lately i have been taking lackadaisical rides on my daytodaycyle (being pretty much done with school and being somewhat unemployed) i like to give myself goals that are easilly accomplished and fit into my routine well. yesterday since i was batch scanning for my project my goal for the day was "stay clean when handling negatives" so i washed regularly, took great care in lining up my negatives, wore those stupid cotton gloves, cleaned all the negative surfaces and got some killer scans. todays goal was "efficient workflow" which was going to be sizing aligning and cropping all my negatives into one layer set so i could easilly manipulate come tomorrow. unfortunately the narliness at my school decided to delete everything off all the computers in the lab leaving me a day late and a buck short as they say. tgif is my new least favorite term.

it'll be ok, just sets me back a couple days but this is probably just a sign to tell me to stop fucking around and get to work, which i kinda have been. here's some of the stuff i'm in process with:


katharine, boston


mother, new hampshire

mammatus clouds

when this little blog was incarnated, it was birthed from a little project called ryonjamesdotcom, yea its true i actually still do take pictures so check it out:

ryonjamesdotcom just got a new splash page AND new photos are UP!

and while speaking on webpages, check out EasyRGB. its a great service that lets you find color harmonies, color matching, and all around web design color help.

now that i have my desktop earth i find myself waiting for the sun to get to me just so i can test to see how accurate it is, but i ussually end up falling asleep by 4 in the morning.

i got some unfortunate news that my grandfather passed away yesterday. from working in the coal mines since he was a small child, to working in a paper mill all his life and retiring to become the biggest seatle seahawks fan on the puget sound, i'll miss him. for now i'll be in red hook enjoying some photographing and fishing.

if anyone needs to fly around europe, its on me
