Boom!...Headshot!

Early mothers day dinner with my mother.

Nicole was pretty excited to go to a restaurant we hadn't been to before (guided by Food Network). Then we went to the BFA closing reception at my college. Nicole was pretty excited about that too.

Stuff.

...because a sign is much cheaper than actually fixing anything. This is my tax money hard at work.

Also, I left my camera at home tonight when we went to go look for morels. Of course, we find something crazy and only have a cellphone camera.

Happy Cinco De Mayo! I hope everyone is having as much fun as she is!

I try not to be too much of an equiptment nerd, but I realized today that I never posted anything about the camera I've been shooting almost all of my film shots with. Here's my Olympus OM-1n...my current favorite camera. It has tons of scratches, missing paint, brassing, and dust in the lens, but since it's so beat up externally it was really cheap. I bough it on impulse and immediately experienced buyers remorse...until I started using it. It's so small, light, easy and fun to use, I wish film was free like digital so I could shoot it every day.

Here are some more shots I took with it of stores in New York.

Blue In Green and Acne
A.P.C. Surplus
Supreme
Anthropologie

Nicole and I collect photobooth pictures of us being weird in various places.

I really can't verbalize how amazing Chinese breakfast is (specifically the type of soup buns pictured above). Real deal, authentic cooks making steaming food magic.

So yeah, breakfast with my family before leaving the city and spending the rest of the day on the highway. I saw things like this and this.

Today I saw my pregnant sister for the first time since she started growing something inside of her.

We went to the 18th floor of a super fancy hotel in Manhattan to see my cousin get married.

The nigh ended at Gray's Papaya for us. Other people kept the party going at other places.

After driving all night/morning, I somehow managed to wake up at my grandmother's house in Queens. Her shower cap is way cooler than yours.

Chinese breakfast is by far the best food ever invented, and since I can't get it anywhere where I live, it's often the first thing I do whenever I'm in the city.

There are a lot of people in New York. Living and dead. So many people that in order to get parking anywhere, you pretty much have to cheat.

We spent the rest of the day shopping and walking around all over Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Pizza at the end of the night.

There are eight hours worth of highway between Cleveland and New York. In that nether region, there are lots of truck stops and places like this.

Apparently truckers are very conscious of precisely how much they weigh.

I got 1,560 shots worth of expired film today with another 1,200 on the way (anyone want any expired film?). In the process, I got to journey into the heart of an awesome second hand store. Check out this stereo. Everything still works, I even got to listen to the 8 track. Anyone need to make a call?

Victor and Eric were in town for dinner tonight.

The carnivorous plant terrarium Nicole got for her birthday is starting to sprout.
