Finally I will have more elbow room, as we are finally making the transition from apartment to house.  I am so happy, I peed my pants and didn't care. No more noisy busy for me.  I am crossing the bridge to solace, sanity and quiet. 

Hello St. Johns, where have you been hiding.

I really miss snapping graffiti lately.  the weather has been a real miss as far as matching up with the schedule thing, but I still managed to grab snap of this spiffy sticker.  irony at it's best.

Not really, but my hair is really messy right now,  and this guy did rock it at least like the king!

Hibbidy Jibbidy BOO!!  This building is one of those buildings that you feel within your inner being is haunted to the core.  I still like it though!

Note to self don't feed the beastie after midnight.

Most of the gremlins have left my holga and only one remains, & that one can stay.

The weather today was overcast and uncertain as it is much of the time here.  None the less I was able to shoot a good roll of film.  Here are a couple of street photos from portland.

The first sunny day in several weeks finally besieged Portland today. 

I grabbed my camera and got to work shooting a roll of film in with my friend Holga. 

Although unrefined, Holga isn't some crazed grubby Nordic floozy from the viking times that some would expect, but after today I think it does have a gremlin inside its busty innards.

From unintentional double exposures, mystery shots, & lens cap mishaps the first 3/4's of the roll was almost a complete waste of time as I found out when I retrieved the film from the corner store.

Judging from the time line the film presented it wasn't until I visited the local junk shop that things smoothed over.

As it seems what was written on the sign in the  junk shop window now makes complete sense upon viewing it in a photograph - In-House Repair - - - - - of Karma.  

Thanks sagely junkman!
