Spring has sprung

Finally spring is upon us. The last two days I've managed to spend most of mine time in shorts, and shirts of the sleeveless variety. That, plus copious amounts of skateboarding has made me one happy fellow. Although I do miss Boston a little bit, Portland has been doing a pretty good job lately reminding me why I've been here the past almost six years. I'm hoping to finish a roll in my camera today so I have some new content to put up. Until I get those developed here are some shots from a month or two ago. I saw this church being demolished one day on the way to the skatepark. On the way there the steeple was still standing and part of the main building was wrecked, it looked really cool. But that day skating was the priority, so we pulled over on the way home and I got these. Unfortuately the steeple had been torn down while I was skating, and I didn't get a chance to take a picture of it. I'm still pretty happy with these. Enjoy.

Last week I had the privilage to visit Boston, and see an old friend that I hadn't seen since 2002. Boston proved to be a really cool town. I really liked all of the old brick buildings, and all the little bits of history lying around. Like seeing where the Boston Tea Party happened, or Paul Revere's house. I kind of wish I would've taken more pictures while I was there, but oh well. I was too busy having a really, really fun time. I also think I'm starting to get the hang of shooting movement better, so maybe some more skating pictures or stuff like that will start showing up here. But who knows, maybe I'll keep sticking with stuff that doesn't move. For now, here are these. Enjoy.

These pictures were from a show at my friend Blaine's house that I played like a week ago. It was a really fun show. A ton of kids were skating at the school across the street, and the show itself was so wild I ended up breaking my bass. Basically the day ruled and was punk as fuck, and I'm glad I got some pictures from it.

Finally, I can bring a little color back to the blog with the roll I just got developed yesterday. If you remember from a few posts ago I was psyched on how I got pictures posted the same day I took them. Well I did that by walking to drop off film and finishing up the roll on the way. These pictures were from the walk back up to my house after dropping off that roll and getting some new film. Also, how cool is it that the tree grew around the telephone wire, and now there is just a log hanging on the wire?

Squirrel, duck, and some other stuff

So the weather has finally begun to feel like what Portland normally feels like in the winter. It's not super cold out, but it's not warm, and the forecast shows nothing but rain. At least if I can't skate there should be a bunch of puddles I can take pictures of. That duck up there, was one of six or seven stuffed animals that Cody and I won out of a crane machine, at the nickle arcade on Halsey one day. The one of the side view mirror was a total accident. I was fucking around with the camera while I was sitting at a red light, it accidentally snapped a photo, and much to my surprise the shot turned out ok. The other pictures are just from the backyard because I'm lazy like that. I should have some new color shots to put up here in the next couple of days.

Today marks the first time that I went out and took pictures earlier in the day, and then they made it to the blog later that evening. I had about a half roll left in the camera so I finished up the film on the way to Walgreens to drop of that roll, and pick up some new film. So these are some things that I thought were pretty cool on the walk from my house to the store.

SUNDAY, Sunday, sunday....

I think this has been the longest gap in posts since I got this blog going. Oh well, I guess that's what happens when I don't have a scanner handy all the time. I do have some older pictures I can throw up though. These are from the side of the house from a few months ago. I'm sure the roses will end up back on here in different forms. They look pretty cool and are a few steps from my door so they're pretty convenient to take pictures of.
