cats in the jungle, cats in the city

I just wanted to share this photo 'cause this neighborhood cat, Maxi, is a real cutie. She follows people for blocks and blocks and makes herself right at home with you. She can visit for hours or just for a minute. She had been laying in our living room for quite some time before we noticed her tag, "I wander, I always get home," and I had to snap a photo of it. I'll bet the owners were annoyed at getting so many "we found your cat" phone calls, so they got her this tag... funny stuff.

Oh, but as I was grabbing the photo to upload it here, I noticed it was not as crisp as I had hoped. I wish the writing were super-sharp, but it ain't. The one below is a little better, still not perfect, but I don't like the composition as much. Can't stand her little head hitting the edge of the frame like that...

time for a new camera

so i saved up some cash for a new camera. the only problem, i cant make up my mind. I either buy a new LEICA M6 or a CONTAX g2 with a CONTAX t3.

Making up for lost time.....

#1: i think im using this
#2: slightly whiter version, is it better
#3: 5 min. photoshop mock up of the dyptic piture to the one before
#4: my idea, julian's vision: God, it's good to have those photography genes in my man
So here is a picture I meant to post a while ago that was taken as a self portrait for my website for the about section. cuz my pictures are twisted like that, had to photoshop my eyes way bigger- always thought i had moderately big eyes but nothing like photoshopping a pic of yourself to make you self loathe. <3 *click on each pic to enlarge

Finally, I crawl out of the cave.

Well, here I am. I don't know why I am up so early, especially with my minor hangover but I decided to actually post- 2 days late albeit, but 4 months late in the big picture. So, I wanted to share some of the design of my website, through screen captures, cropped or not. Here is some of it. The main design is that most pages are galleries and when you put your mouse over a thumbnail on the left, the picture turns into a colored square (one page has red, one page has orange, etc) and once you click on this square, the larger picture appears to the right of the thumbnails. I would like the pictures to be larger, but in the end it works out okay. The website has actually been very close to completion ( i would say 80%) at least for it's introductory to the web for months now, but I have been in a serious fuckin funk. a funck, if you will. I have some changes to make to the layout but this is what it's looking like. I'm scared to ask for comments, bc if you dont like it it's a lot of work to change, but feel free...also, if you click on the pistures i posted above, it will bring them up slightly larger if u r interested

warm welcomes to artie & alex.
glad you are coming on.

i actually kinda like these

It has been pretty frustrating trying to capture action with an obvious lack of skill and/or proper equipment. First I thought that maybe my camera isn't fast enough to catch fast-moving objects and that perhaps I need a stronger/closer flash... but now I am thinking that I have a lot to learn. Anyway, I was surprised to see a few photos in a series of crappy ones that I actually kinda like...
