orange = syracuse = sunday, the 28th.

yeah, mixed feelings about going back. need to find people w/ cars since this city girl doesnt know how to drive. drive me to the supermarket, to the flea market, to the movies, to random places. oh jane, let it be better than last year. ha!

listening to :helio sequence - blood bleeds.

looks like a bit too much blue overcast on this photo

i'm getting sick..

plus i noticed i gained 5 pounds since i've been home from syracuse. thanks to mama's cooking and my eating-out craze.

listening to: seachange - news from nowhere.

around the corner, originally uploaded by thejane.

old photo of the block around the corner from my house.

there's a guy that lives in the building in the middle of the photo who never walks on sidewalks.. only in the street. sometimes he walks backwards. he rummages through knick-knacks in people's trash. his place must be filled w/ ceramic poodles, liscence plates, etc. he's balding now.. but i remember when he had a full head of hair. he should be in his late 30s now. quite an interesting fellow.

so i keep reading the english manuals online for the kiev 4. i feel like i have an extreme case of ADD. i think i'm missing the take-up spool.. but there is one included but it's different from the manual's. plus the shutter butter is loooose. i dont think i'll figure it out till i get back to school and ask the camera guru of the photo dept.

sis is going to live in hong kong soon for a few years since she got hired. some drama at home w/ the worried parents and the tempermental attitudes. avoid jane avoid.

as much as i complain about my camp job, there are some kids that make it worth while. this little guy, max, is one of my favorite. he's not always there.. but dammit, he's one of the most sweetest 5 year olds.

this photo can be better.. it has so many flaws. it can be better.

wednesdays are tough. 2.5 hours of overtime. will i get paid for it? ha, i fucking hope so. 4 more days of this dreadful camp. 2.5 more days of easy internship.

i actually look forward to a dull day in the office at the internship after a day of head-spinning, screaming torture the counselors and sometimes the kids put me through. janey dear, you must stand your ground and boss them teen counselors around if they decide to congregate and giggle in the corner while you cry inside from the 15+ kids surrounding you, screaming "jane, jane!" it's these couple of classes in a day that make me turn sour. 2 out of 7 classes can ruin a day. ugh.

got bored and started fussing w/ a link bar. so exciting, i know.

i just stood 3 feet away from them, pretending to fidget w/ my camera but really was snapping away. they caught me, felt embarrassed, but flattered.

stay where you are, originally uploaded by thejane.

ooh. i so needed a night out w/ friends. good times.

sad.. i missed a Lee Frielander exhibit that was in a gallery in the same building of my internship. Didn't find out about it until a friend told me today at his MoMA show.. Searched around, and the exhibit ended last week. Must roam around my building.

so i'm picky, what can you do? be open minded, young one. i try darling, i do. it's just who i'm meant to be. so time is a-ticking. the sibs are getting way too old for their own good w/o any companions to grow old with. hormones are raging away, filling this young chica with nonsense worries of the future. maybe a nun or a monk? ha, dont kid yourself. you're going straight to hell, but nothing's wrong with that. oh no, i accept it and am excited about getting hell money, paper clothes, watches, cars, maids, and riches burned to me. hell isnt so bad.. it's the waiting that's the killer.

either i worry about my lack of romance, or i worry about my competition for my future as a photographer. these young'ins that prance around calling themselves photographers, throwing their art jargon along w/ their junk learned from psych 105 and philosophy 101, throwing their "i'm depressed" face onto the frame.. oh how they multiply in numbers each day. the people who have potential in other areas all jump on the bandwagon. how did i land in the wagon and why do i hate it so?

i'm so not prepared

bored.. i just felt like uploading something.. not necessarily a great shot.. but a nice shot of randomness w/ the girls.

mmm, need some motivation... and some time away from the weekly routine.
