These Days

I Came Here To Say I'm Going Away

2008-11-30T21:39:00.004-05:00

We were walking towards our dad, while getting out of that school bus, and he just said “I love you,” and he reached out to us.

2008-11-30T21:35:00.006-05:00

A bunch of different film pictures I took while driving.

I could sleep many days and they wouldn't make a difference, without you

2008-11-30T21:33:00.007-05:00

These are some film pictures that I took at the beach a while back.

When you just don't seem to have as much to lose

new post down from this one

2008-11-17T23:20:00.005-05:00

It's the one dated Nov. 6, but I put it up today. Blogger decided to put my new post back in between the other ones from when I had uploaded those pictures.

is this a joke?!?!?!?! this was in greensboro's paper today, on a page called "celebrating greensboro's leaders in giving." my dad showed it to me and i just thought it had to be some dude working there who did it as a joke and somehow it got past everything, but i don't know, what if that is that woman's real name??? can you imagine? i mean i've never heard the name lotta before. there's no way anybody would take a name like that seriously if they first met her, i know i wouldnt.

I got to watch the sun come up at the beach a couple weeks ago after waking up from a "very deep sleep."

It's my dad's birthday today and he actually took all these pictures at the lake except for the last two. That's me jumping in the first one.

Those people are playing beer pong in the water on an floating beer pong table. I felt like I was in a video shoot or a movie or something.

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a really really long time, but these next posts are film pictures from the past couple months and I hope they may make up for it.

2008-07-16T21:06:00.011-04:00

That's a limo that is in two parts, a front cab thing with pretty much a trailer limo behind it.

There's this weird overlap in the way some of the pictures developed that's kind of neat.

Seems Like A Long, Long Time Since I've Been Above You, Seen And Loved You So

2008-07-14T20:31:00.005-04:00

These are from when I went to the beach back at the beginning of June, I had been taking pictures on that roll of film since then.

This was the biggest and closest rainbow I've ever seen. All of this sky in just one afternoon.

2008-06-25T20:48:00.019-04:00

These are from the motel pool at night, they turned out really neat and creepy which was different from what I was expecting.

For some reason David took 3 of Madeline's face in the water, I'm not sure why.

Ashlyn took this one of me.
Crushed by a wave.
I took all these pictures with a disposable underwater camera in two different pools, a mountain river, and the ocean. A lot of them kind of overlap from the other roll I have up here, but theyr'e kind of different because I could take pictures with this camera that I couldn't with the other.

Give To The Wind Thy Fears

2008-06-13T02:02:00.008-04:00

Taylor took this one.

I took these pictures around the days school was ending and in the week after graduation. Some of them from graduation and the mountains are too dark and others have the weird bright red line on the side, I don't know how that got there.

Tonight You Just Close Your Eyes And I Just Watch You, Slip Away

2008-06-13T00:31:00.010-04:00

All of these pictures were taken by David Gunn on our trip to the mountains. This was the first time using film and they turned out really good, I love so many of them.

I love this one of the dam.

I love this one of Taylor and Haley and the awesome other couple we shared our swimming hole with.

This one of the parking lot from our second floor motel room is really sweet and I feel like the one below kind of summarizes the trip better than any other one.

I love this one of Taylor.

Just modeling some euroshorts.

Allie, Haley, Taylor, David, Lee, Madeline, and me all together because of the self-timer.

I graduated from highschool last Sunday. I honestly can't believe it, I don't think I had prepared my mind for it yet. It will probably take another week or so to really hit me.

Stuart, David, Taylor, and me.
David and Allie both looking wonderful.

I took these pictures with my dad's digital camera at the motel pool on our mountain trip. There will be a bunch more from the whole thing when I get me and David's film developed.

Look at the face in the clouds, the mouth and the eyes sitting on top.

These are all from a roll of film that I've been taking pictures on for the past couple months.

SUCKS

2008-05-29T23:31:00.001-04:00

My digital camera just up and broke last week, so that's why I haven't posted anything new in a week.

We are all so awkward and out of place, except for the fact that I love ESPN.Lee took the rest of these pictures.Whoah dude! Nice one! This place is hilarious!Yes, embrace the alcohol in excess, drink even more than you ever wanted to at dinner.These are the polarized sunglasses I got from Taylor's car to go with the beer/sports/man theme of the restaurant, evidentially they're made for fishing. I look like a totally different person.

Tonight we saw this poor dead duck at the end of my street just off the road. It had been hit by a car, but was not dead yet and it's chest was still coming up and down as it continued to breathe. It was maybe the saddest thing I've ever had to watch.

The Birthday Boy!Day 1 of Lee's birthday weekend extravaganza, Friday.

So crazy, so high up. He is like a statue.

Lee took some of the next few ping pong pictures.

Day 2, Saturday. Bonfire day.

The thing was so crazy when it started, like at least 20 feet high or so.

Lee also took a bunch of these bonfire pictures.

David is a ghost appearing in the fire.

Hey Paul.

Day 3, Sunday. Grandma's cookout.

His new hat with his initials on it!

Hello Garland.
Goodbye Garland.
Later on, because eating a ton at a cookout isn't enough, we went to eat Japanese food.

Will!
The big 18-year-old. Happy Birthday buddy!

That gray round looking thing at the bottom of that hole is a possum. Will found it in the hole in the tree.

So David and Will climbed the tree.

And it's just boring if nothing else.
WHOAH, totally moving.

HERE WE GO. On to some good stuff. Beautiful colors, amazing designs, cool sewing. This is what I'm talking about.

Nice.

February Days

2008-03-01T00:55:00.003-05:00

Who could tire of the long shadows,
The long shadows of the trees on snow?
Sometimes I stand at the kitchen window
For a timeless time in a long daze
Before these reflected perpendiculars,
Noting how the light has changed,
How tender it is now in February
When the shadows are blue not black.

The crimson cyclamen has opened wide,
A bower of petals drunk on the light,
And in the snow-bright ordered house
I am drowsy as a turtle in winter,
Living on light and shadow
And their changes.
