…umm…these are so awesomely peculiar that I can’t even handle it. I’ve been looking at brancusi7’s flickrstream for 30 minutes+ now, and I can’t stop staring. I have this strange attraction to weird, always have… and I cannot seem to shake it. I hope someone else enjoys these oddballion photo-manipulations as much as I do…

…this was a quote under his profile- “My works were designed to amuse, annoy, bewilder, mystify and inspire reflection.” Indeed. They definitely make me giggle and/or shudder.

tons more where that came from here. :)

Emma Kidd (Double Exposure+Cross Processing= <3 <3 <3)

…I’ve shared my complete & utter love for lomography and toy cameras before, through my posts on diana camera photos & the always super awe-inspiring double exposures. But one other style of old school film developing that I can’t get enough of is cross processing. It involves processing your film in chemicals for a totally different type of film. I love the mystery and experimentation aspect of this procedure. There is a sort of magic that takes place, especially with the colors and there is also an intensely major anticipation you don’t get with just using digital all the time. I often play around and add the cross processing affect to my digital photos because I just love the atmosphere it gives them so much…I know, I know…cheater..

…I’m leaving on July 10 for a 10 day vacation to visit family & friends and BEACHES, and CANNOT wait!! I am bringing along my diana camera and hope to get some cool shots. I have oodles of black & white film but must pick up some color so I can get some cross processing coolness done. I cannot wait already and I haven’t even taken the photos yet! :)

…Do any of you ever play around with old school cameras? I love having digital too, but it’s fun to mix it up!! :D

The CatMan



Bela: L'Homme Chat from Paul Trillo on Vimeo.


...This very short documentary (6 mins) which showcases an extremely eccentric street performer from France that brings along his very affectionate house cats and uses them as part of his act, as he earns a living for his family. His kitties are SO SWEET, and they don't seem to mind too much, except a few cranky moments. If I was a cat I would probably be cranky too, and would much rather be bird watching or snoozing. It is for the most part a happy little video, that for a moment turns strange as he gets accused for mistreating and even drugging his cats, which I doubt. He seems to really love and care for them, as far as I can tell. What do you think??

egomania

…Is hardcore narcissism amusing or downright annoying? I can’t decide.

…Lately I have felt both ways in regards to people’s insane self obsession. I’m sure people can only guess I am talking about Facebook. I have an absolute love/hate relationship with it. I really do like using it for keeping in touch with “real” friends, family, and even cool peeps I’ve met online. …and I like sharing cute, funny, important videos, photos & information.  …But the whole taking a trillion gazillion photos of yourself and updating your status updates in regards to every bit & emotion of your day is soooo tiring, and to me it’s just such a cry out for attention, especially those constant “poor me, my life sucks” or bragging about life constantly updates.  I just don’t get people that do this. I am guessing they need  validation from other people to feel good about themselves. Does anyone feel this way?! I hope I didn’t offend anyone. I am not saying posting photos of yourself is bad or divulging your thoughts is bad. I just think people go off the deep end with it.

People should stop being SO into themselves, it’s rather embarrassing.

…eee…I just love seeing this pose. I’ve only ever seen dogs do it, but was pleasantly surprised to find some kitties that pull this amphibious sprawl as well. From my experience it seems the dogs I know that like to splat like a frog are in fact cooling themselves off on a sweltering day. I seen a few froggy splats this morning at the doggy daycare I work at, due to the heat, which urged me to search for other cuties pulling the same maneuver.

Enjoy… ;)
