Well, wasn't I in a pissy mood on Friday?
I don't know what came over me except for my feelings about a certain "artist" who is becoming increasing more difficult to be around. I suppose I had just reached my limit of having to deal with this person's lack of confidence and the fact that every day is a performance. I suppose that, now that I have thought about it, what more can I expect from those in their early 20's. It's all about them and that is just part of the nature of that age. It would be best if I could remember this.
Anyway, after my Friday of discontent, I decided to get out there with my camera. There has been a most amazing fog here for the last five days or so and I have been trying to take every opportunity to get out there and photograph it. I have no expectations, I just wanted to shoot off rolls of film and see if anything good comes out of it. It's also a way to feel more creative. I am continuing to shoot off film until I run out of the rolls that friends have brought me from Japan (film costs 1/3 of what it does in Canada). All so far have been black & white. I'm gonna be broke from the developing costs but I am sure to get some interesting images.
Other than being the queen of the camera, I met friends over the weekend, went to my usual hangout, took some friends to this amazing Persian restaurant that I love to go to, and then, (I couldn't resist) I went to see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I must say that I really enjoyed it despite the fact that they had to pare down the story quite a bit. Can you imagine an eight-hour film covering the whole book? I could do it (after all, I can sit at my desk at work for that long) but children probably couldn't. (Hey, not a bad idea... kids not jumping around, talking and being generally obnoxious.)
My question after seeing this is "Were 14 year old boys that cute when I was that age?". The guy who played Ron Weasley looked like he had been spending time at the gym and they all got much taller. When I compare them to my nephew, who is 13, they look way different than him. (In case you are wondering, it is not in my nature to oggle little boys. I am simply making an observation...)
I must just be getting old...
Sadly, that was my weekend. I should probably shot more film than I did but if it is any consolation, I have been lugging my camera and tripod around for days and will continue until my film runs out. Then, I think it is time to take my camera in for a check up. It's about time and I want to ensure that it's ready to keep up the creative work for the next year.
I suppose that I had better finish this up. I will part saying that it's time for me to start thinking about resolutions. This year, I plan to be much more diligent at sticking with them.
