Tap Ex and Light Painting

monica and i have been going to tapex in vallejo and bubble and crepe in pleasant hill to "study". well, she tries to study and i try to read about neil cowley's ninja techniques but we end up just goofing around and surfing the internet. recently, monica bought this drink that she ended up liking but i thought it tasted like armpit. yes... ARMPIT, but monica don't seem to think so.

i've also been trying to teach her more about the camera... again, i'm a HORRIBLE teacher. she's actually doing amazingly well. she really does have the eye. she just needs to properly work the camera so she can share what she sees.

on another note... i was waiting for a friend to come home so we can marinade some meats for this weekends' trip (this was tuesday). anywho, i ended up waiting for like over 30minutes because he got stuck in a meeting with a boss he claims to be "retardedly-slow". uhm, i'm paraphrasing here of course. i don't actually know what he said cause i was tired from a full day of work and just wanted to prep the meats and go home.

sitting at night in a car and playing with a camera don't look right at all and i got a couple of "what the hell is he doing?" stares from a couple of people walking by. of course, i'm not doing anything illegal so i continue. i've been wanting to play with super slow shutter speeds for a while now and what a better time to play while your waiting in a car for HELLA long? below are some shots that i was able to make. "hello".
