this just in from an esteemed colleague of mine, athena, whom i’m sure you’ll be hearing about if you haven’t already. priceless email + i thought (with her permission) i’d share the pain we’ve all come across. some days are just harder then others.

“I’m in Thailand right now on my annual adventure. I met this Thai breakdance girl last night. I set up a meeting to photograph her. I was soooooo ssooo excited…stayed up all night thinking about it….”woke up” and scouted, planned, charged my batteries and bought her water….she was no show…I’m so sad…all my friends are laughing at me and my heart ache…I got stood up by a Thai girl and I will never she her again…she was so pretty and so talented…oh the photographic pain.”

if you need a push to keep going, here’s a nice take from edward norton appropriately titled innovators: you will feel the terror.

super 8 indeed – it’s been my favorite thing out there for months now + heightened even more so with my recent acquisition of the very canon camera my dad used when i was a kid. straight outta the 70′s. still had film in it + the batteries worked for a few minutes.

in conjunction with the pending new release (enough templates already) of my super custom site here’s a bit of rachel’s road trip in super 8 with hd by a canon mark II + a sony EX3.
