I've been busy

I've been taking pictures like crazy. I just discovered TTV, and I love it. It's so much fun. That's what I love about photography:it's a very flexible medium.

What was I thinking?

I have no idea why I did this... I was about to develop my film. For some reason I opened up the tank! I can't even remember why I did it. I just wasn't thinking. The tank had both rolls of my Ilford Delta 400 in it. I did those rolls first because the have DXN coding. It is the only film I own that can be commercially scanned. I'm really bummed now:(

What I had for dinner...

I'm so proud of my husband. He finally learned how to cook delicious meals, thanks to our Palestinian friend. The ingredients are:

Meat (he's used chicken, beef and shrimp so far, but you could probably sub seitan)
carrots
green or red bell peppers
mushrooms
onions
squash
zucchini

Spices:
paprika
chili powder
curry powder
thyme
sea salt

Heat the pan up, and add vegetable oil. Add in the chopped ingredients and spice to flavor.

You can serve this over rice, but I prefer it with quinoa.

Enjoy!

A little ways up the road

A happier moment from earlier this week....

The waiting

So, today is the first day of summer classes. The financial aid office is beyond packed. When I first got down here I had almost 300 people ahead of me in line. Now, I only have about 30 people ahead of me. I still have to go and buy my textbooks from the bookstore AND read all the stuff out of the textbook by tomorrow. This is incredibly stressful and almost more trouble than what it's worth.



Part of the problem is the fact that I didn't take care of this weeks ago. That's my fault. I'm a habitual procrastinater. But the school does need to get some help in their financial aid department. I'm sure that over 80% of the students here are receiving aid. Why can't they get some more people in here to help? This is just insane.



Of course this is the day that my husband and I were supposed to quit smoking. I don't know if I can do it...I'm just under so much stress right now.



So, I guess I'll just try to calm down, and think about anything other than a cigarette.

I've been in love with Trunkt for a whole year. There are a number of extremely talented artists and artisans on the sites. One person who drew my attention was another Detroit photographer. You should check out his portfolio!
