Rule #2 of Film Photography
Don’t just assume the film is completely rewound and then open the damn camera. I just finished my second roll of film today and told myself I was going to do it right this time damnit. I pressed that rewind button like a boss, rewound the film like a good photographer, hit some resistance, went “oh looks like it’s done!” and opened the back. In my defense, at least I was...

Making nothing out of something: The Glass Ceiling... →
correlationstonone: My wife slipped on some ice on Friday, 6 months into her pregnancy. It was right outside my front door. She was hurrying - rushing - to take a final for her MBA night class because my wife is an incredibly motivated person. The week before she slipped she got up at 4:00, took a train to New York,… Holy cow. Powerfully written, and something I felt really compelled to...

Updates from the Desk of Sarah
1) I finally picked up my first processed roll of film from Photoworks. As some of you may recall from before, I was a bit worried about the damage I had potentially done in my failed rewind attempt. It looks like I only lost the last five frames, which does suck, but is better than nothing. The rest seem to have come out fine. Excitement! I haven’t looked at them extensively yet, but I can...

cherutenu asked: Oh, you're so on re: your comment about the skating butt falling. Two questions:

1) Can you give me 24 hours? I have to go to bed in 30 minutes and I just got home (lame, work commute...LAME).

2) Can I substitute a falls video for the picture? Yes, I have one. Sadly, youtube stripped it's very relevant music track so I'll have to search it out so...

A Very San Francisco Weekend
This past Saturday I attended what is apparently a long-standing San Francisco tradition (which I was woefully unaware of until about two months ago) - the Post Yule Pyre. Essentially it went like this: a large group of people met conspicuously on a traffic median by the beach at 7pm carrying Christmas trees and eating hotdogs, and at 8pm the plan was to walk down to the beach and start a...

cherutenu asked: Wow. Your photography is gorgeous.

I work in San Francisco but commute from Sacramento at the moment. It'd be a dream to live there full-time (or be within BARTing distance, even, heh).

Looking forward to seeing more beautiful photography as it's posted.

Cheers,
Amber

“Hard-core porn, which is what Internet porn largely traffics in, is undoubtedly...”
– Hard Core - Magazine - The Atlantic Let’s wrap this up: 1) sex in long-term, monogamous relationships is boring, 2) sex is driven by male urges, and 3) good sex is dominated by the urges of the un-castrated male (which is to say, the one who’s not in a long-term relationship with a castrating...

Rule #1 of Film Photography
Don’t forget to press the damn rewind button.  Spent the whole trip playing with the Nikon, trying to figure out the best way to shoot those beautiful sunsets and beaches along the California coast and then, in my excitement to have finished my first ever roll, began to try to rewind the film without first pressing the appropriate button. After stupidly assuming the camera was just...
