I was told by a friend that I should start journaling my life again. I had a livejournal for years but pretty much abandoned it over two years ago. Since then, my adventures and mishaps have not been documented anywhere - and considering how these past 2+ years have been, that may be for the better.
But now I'm about embark on an adventure. In September I will be moving to London to obtain my MSc in Human Resource Management at the London School of Economics and Political Science. It's been a crazy, complicated process...the applications, the acceptances, the FAFSA, the scholarships, the student entry clearance...and the craziness and complicatedness is sure to continue for a while.
At the moment I'm in the UK, where I'll remain for another two weeks or so. Nik and I just returned from a week in Ireland which was absolutely incredible. The country was so beautiful and so....green. And blue. And I will attempt to document this both with words and photographs in a coming post. And if anyone reading this bugs me enough, I'll try to blog about random everyday things. Bruce, its probably all up to you...
I leave you with the photograph above. My new photography obsession is Through the Viewfinder, aka TTV...It's where you use a digital camera to take pictures through the viewfinder of a vintage camera (in my case, an Argoflex 75)...It gives the pretty black edges and the scratches that are on the lens and mirrors of the vintage piece. Mine may be a BIT too scratched up but I like the effects it gives. Apparently its acceptable in the TTV community to modify the photo a little - all I did was change the saturation and tone though.

That photograph is beautiful. I wish you were in Soho with me yesterday so you could have explained the process of this vintage camera this guy was using on the sidewalk. He would take the picture, then saturate the film in water on a piece of paper and it would look old and vintage. AND in West Bay Shore there was a vintage show where I proceeded to find a haunting graveyard in the backyard of this huge house. I even left with a skeleton key.
I expect less generalities in your upcoming post. I want details. It could be anything. What shoes you were wearing on a train, what you ate for lunch, or how you felt being in a castle. Don't forget to mention KoRn, I mean Jonathan Davis.
