35mm

I lost my battery charger for my tiny Canon point and shoot (I finally found it yesterday), so I decided to take out the good ol' Nikon 35mm I got when I was 14. I don't touch it nearly as much as I should, because everytime I do so, I remember just how in love I am with it.

To celebrate the revival of my 35mm, I brought it along to the Serious Business concert on June 23 at the Hawthorne Burgerville. Yeah, you heard right.... I went to a concert at a fast food restaurant. And guess what? It was AWESOME!!!! And Serious Business are quickly becoming one of my favorite local Portland groups. You should totally check them out.

I've shot two rolls so far. The first roll, to m
y surprise, had been in my camera since last February/March, and so it was a little faded. I still like the results, as it almost seems fitting for the SB show. Old look/feel, yet completely modern.

Early 2008. St. Johns. The old casa:

Early 2008. Jordan Schnizter's koi pond fence. Work. I rebuilt/tied the fence together.
Serious Business concert and night to follow. Hawthorne Burgerville. Roots Brewery. SE 11th and Alder. June 23, 2009. **Serious Business is going to be huge one day. I want them to perform at my place once I move in (hopefully mid Julyish) as part of something I thought up today called: "Concerts in the Kitchen". Wouldn't that be rad?
Por Que No. Hawthorne. Margaritas with NJ, AM and GS. NJ was sparkly. June 27, 2009. **There are more photos to come once the roll is used up.

This probably will still not be enough to make me cool, buut when I was in high school me and a few friends thought it would be funny if we had a meal at burgerville. when finished we would quietly clean up our meals and then slowly and silently rearrange the restaurant seating area to accommodate a rather large dancing arena. We would then control the juke box and have dance offs where we would challenge the clientel and staff to 'beat-it' and us. It was Oregon City and late 1999...

On a side note, and speaking of Serious Business, Gregg- I bet you love those photos of you! I know I do!
