Slovika in Film
Visiting Michaela’s family in Slovika was interesting. They couldn’t speak English and I can’t speak a word of Slovakian, so with out Michaela or her mom around, not much conversing went on. One thing her family could clearly see with out speaking to me is that I’m very much into photography and cameras. While I was there Michaela’s aunt and uncle each gave me one camera, both old film camera. I was extremely excited and very thankful and for anyone who’s been to my house, they know I like old cameras! The photos below were shot one of the two cameras, a Praktica Super TL 35mm.

LA in Photos
Andrew and I headed down to LA before Interbike in Vegas last month. We only had three days, but we made them count. We hit the beach, rode bikes, did some shopping and hung out with friends. LA is always a blast and I really need to go there more! I was on a “once a month” schedule last year and I loved it! Hopefully I’ll be back soon. Andrew Nuno, and I compiled our favorite photos from the weekend and put together a Photogallery on Defgrip. You can check that right here.

Summer Photos
I keep all my photos on my G5 at home, but some times, I forget to transfer folders over from my laptop… Today I was looking for some photos and came across a few different batches of pictures that I’ve never posted. These photos where taken over the summer in Seattle at Gasworks park with Chris Martindale, Josh Kechloian, Mike Leask and Steve Machuga. These guys are by far the best friends I’ve had and It’s always rad to get to hang out with all of them at once… I think Josh shot a bunch of these photos because I was filming Chris for a web video on MacNeil that I still haven’t edited… I need to get on it!! Oh… I didn’t color correct these photos… I get way to crazy and will spend hours messing with random photos like these, when I should be doing something better like working or sleeping…

Photo apps
I just downloaded this little app to edit photos called Photogene. It’s pretty dope, but I’m surprised there is no black and white option. It’s the first app I paid for. The photo with the “cool” border is from the app and the other is just straight from my phone. Isn’t it rad how discolored my monitor is. Haha

Soap Box
Today was a bit better than yesterday. After running around to the Apple store, an Apple reseller, the Rogers Wireless store, I ended up back at the Apple and was able to get a new replacement phone for $250. Thanks to Chris Young for that tip! The sales guy that was helping me had no idea about the replacement thing and if it wasn’t for Chris, I’d probably still have a smashed phone. I did break down and get a case for my phone though. I’ve never been into cases, but I’m pretty sure if I had one, I would not be on my second phone in under six weeks. I picked up an Incase slider in while. I’m psyched on it! It’s super sleek and doesn’t take away from the design of the phone.
Still trying to get the backed up Defgrip database from my host. I talked to them today about it and was able to find out the file size…. It was pretty big… but that’s all I really know… Hopefully I’ll have it tomorrow.
I went to this Red Bull Soap Box race last Saturday. It was a great turnout, but I think the crowd was a bit confused. There was not much cheering and everyone just kind of stood there… A bit weird. I guess that’s how that Flutog even it as well… Not sure if people are expecting more, but I kind of felt bad for the people that participated in the event. They spent all this time and money building these soap box cars and when they got to the bottom of the hill, they’d be super psyched, start cheering, then realize no one in the audicene was reacting, kid of look around then walk off the track… Kind of weird.
Here’s some photos shot with my Yashica and a few with my Minolta. I hadn’t shot with the Minolta for a bit, so it was fun to mess around with it again. I love the 28mm lens and shooting with it really makes me want to do more 35mm SLR stuff…
