thursday nonsense: cats on film
It’s gonna take a while to get the hang of my Pentax K1000. But I’m gonna try my ass off.

I’ve said before that my first SLR, once I got serious about shooting in 2008, was a Nikon F65 film SLR that my friend Michelle sent me, and I’ve talked about my film learning curve before — learned very little about the technicalities of photography, learned a shitload…
single artist cover albums!
drive-by truckers two-night stand at the cradle, originally uploaded by minervacat. This week at work I’m listening to a huge playlist on shuffle; songs rated four or five stars that I haven’t heard in three months. Today, Adam Sandler doing “Werewolves of London” kicked up, and it got me thinking. I love a good cover…

I did not take this photo because that’s my mom, small, riding in the little red wagon (her older brother Jack is her chauffeur). I stole this photo from my mom’s Facebook page.
