That’s how it sounds. And it’s my first new guitar in over 16 years. It’s an American Standard Telecaster — they’ve gone back to the brass bridge, but no palm-shredding ashtray bullshit. There were roughly 26 of these in the Guitar Center, Boston location and I asked to play every damned one. The same song. For 2 hours. This is the pick of the litter. 3-tone Sunburst. If Bryan Adams had an extra $100 he wouldn’t have settled for the crappy black one back when I was 14.
About 6 months ago, I crap-canned the whole idea of multiple sites — one for dis-congruous ramblings, one for semi-serious photography, and one for personal photoblogging — in favor of a single blog that contained all of these things. Well, that was a stupid idea. I have since relaunched my portfolio site and last night I relaunched my photoblog, flimflam. Hopefully, this compels me to shoot more. But it probably won’t. If you’re interested: Calebs Creek | flimflam. Cheers. UPDATE: Two things, really. 1.) I used the word “launch” in this post like people were actually excited and waiting for this to happen. 2.) My screenshot shows that the last web search I did was “pruning rhododendrons.” Garden dork.
It’s back, but now at a new sub-domain: http://portfolio.calebscreek.com. I intend to re-post-process (is that a word?), re-edit, and generally re-invent most of what’s there over coming weeks/months. Oh yeah, and I intend to shoot a lot more than I have over the course of the last year or so …
I am not sure how this happened, but I never processed any of the images from last summer’s trip to Mendocino (my wife’s home county in California.) Looking through them, I can’t remember making well over half of these images, but several are worth working on. I need to clean my hard drive more often, I guess. This image was made near MacKerricher State Park a bit after sunset and the rest of the family had gone back to camp. I don’t know who drew the heart in the sand, but I remember being terribly uninspired at that moment, and the design was the most interesting thing around. I just wanted to stand there and soak it in rather than bother with being creative. The light dropped off [...]
So, I think I have settled on a way to post the photographs from the old site, using a few blog plugins and hosting the images at Picasa. Not exactly “portfolio” quality, but it gets the job done. Checkout the “Extras” menu to the right, where you’ll find two links: “Photo Galleries“, which is comprised of more formal images, and “Snapshots“, which would be voyeuristic to look at if you don’t know me.
