It was good to have a little inspiration back. I have posted several shots over the past couple of week, and while I found some of them to be good, unfortunately, I found many of my efforts to be labored. Don't get me wrong, a few of my shots were fun and inspired, but I felt like I was trying too hard. This image came out with the greatest of ease, and I am very happy with it. I have been really inspired by many of my flickr friends, and this showcases some of my recent influences.

Great Weekend

Last week Mom gave me her 35mm SLR. It is a Sears KSX, and when you look through the viewfinder you see all kinds of dirt and gunk. When developed, though, the pictures come out shockingly clear and vibrant. I got a couple of lenses and a flash with it as well. I love the set very much. It was very nice of her.

I also got to see My Brightest Diamond and Rasputina at the Dame last weekend. It was a magnificent show, yet horribly hot. The A/C had broken at 3p.m. that day, and the place was absolutely packed. It was well worth suffering the heat to experience a performance by some of the most talented people alive today. The show will go down as one of my favorite experiences ever.
