Merry Chistmas . . . just remember why
I don't think that this phones camera is up to par. hopefully the pic turned out right side up, but the quality is still suspect.
I threw about 2/3 of them out. eliel took the Beatles and Black Sabbath, and I saved the Jethro Tull, Peter Gabriel and Bob Marley. I grabbed my only cassette player, I've had it for 22 years ever since walking through Kmart and spontaneously buying it. Popping in 'So', I hit play and waited through the pops, the hiss, the left and right channels fading in and out- til I noticed that the sound was not producing and one of the spindles wasn't turning. this is the tape owners nightmare, I knew exactly what to expect when I hit the eject button. spagetti string of tape wound up into the spindles. I was not as concerned as I might have been before cds. but I wanted it to work. I wanted to hear that old sound. so on to cds or to take a peek behind the aged plastic into the cogs wheels and frail rubberbanbs?
On the 5th was our first trip to Dland of the year...
12th, I made this mosaic at Madera WT. (insert link later, which means maybe never)
16th, a car hit a fire hydrant. Jen and I went to Red Robin, then she got a haircut. I had to go to the bathroom badly...
20th we met at BajaFresh.
22nd I tested the photo studio lighting setup.
23rd, there was a drug deal going on across the street.
24th, Jen and I went to ElTorito. I took shots of Eliel's haircut and Jen's braces.
On the 26th, I met with Janel and Shea at the Moorpark Library to do a photoshoot for an upcoming assignment. I shot about 800 shots, using 450 of them for a movie that I compiled here.
On the 30th we took a hike and camped on the top of Mt. Pinos in the snow. Matt B. and his Dad, James C., Nathan B., Pryce, trebor, Eliel, and I were up there, the blog is here.
Jaden seemed like he needed attention and some one on one, so we went to the park. I realized how out of shape he his (partially his diet), but mostly from inactivity throughout the day.
