There are three albums that, in my opinion, make the best use of samples. The first is most definitely the Beastie Boys’ Paul’s Boutique, which is basically one long sample. The second is De La Soul’s Three Feet High and Rising, but the other is surprisingly not a rap record. Whi... (original story)

Washington state is usually known for its trees and rocky beaches, but my favorite parts are in the desert. Did you even know that Washington had a desert? Heck yes it does! What’s even cooler is that before it was a desert, a huge glacier covered it. And one of the cool things about glaciers... (original story)

A few months ago, Smartz and I decided to keep a separate blog documenting our travels called Hey I’m Over Here. It’s a neat idea and I really enjoy writing for it. We’ve decided to move from a self-hosted site to a WordPress.com site. You can still access it via heyimoverhere.com... (original story)

I’ve not tried THAT many different kinds of film, but so far, I like FujiChrome Provia 100. My only complaint is that it’s a little grainy. For that, I can always switch to 100F FujiChrome is slide film. That means that it’s developed differently than regular negative film. Howev... (original story)

Smartz and I took a trip to Fort Casey two weekends ago. I brought along the Holga. I’m still trying to figure out which film I like best. So far the Kodak Porta 400 is the most realistic-looking, but I’m not totally sure that’s what I’m going for. This shot is of Deception... (original story)

For my second roll of film shot with the Holga, I stuck with Kodak Porta 400. Soon, I’ll be experimenting with other film (expired and slide… and expired slide!), but for now, I’m sticking with the easiest thing to shoot with. I’m having a blast, but need to take more pictu... (original story)

A couple of weeks ago, out of the blue, Smartz told me that she bought me a record. I was curious, but since I know she likes me not to guess, I just simmered. Well, last week, it arrived, having been shipped from Finland or something. I ripped open the box and oh my! It was the Spanish version of ... (original story)

This is Smartz and Juniper Pürrito. What are they doing? Though it may appear on first viewing that they are engaged in something together, they are actually doing two separate things. While Smartz is attempting to take Juniper for a walk, Juniper is attempting to not be taken on a walk. If ... (original story)
