New Season, New Photos

With the onset of the new school year, I anticipate to continue capturing images that will bring cheer to all. I must apologize for my laziness toward the end of summer, but part of the blame must be placed on my camera. Toward the very end of July, my little Canon decided to turn everything the sun touched pink. The majority of pictures taken outside were stricken with obscene amounts of Barbie's favorite hue, incidentally ruining many a great photo. However, with hopes of obtaining a newer, better picture-taker I will forge through the next few weeks snapping away under the great flourescent lights of the wonderful indoors. Fear not, my beloved blog-readers, Friends & Fabrics will continue and I promise to post more frequently. Happy end of summer everyone!

A comment on "The Dark Knight"

Ok, so I know that everybody's absolutely raving about this movie and I'm in agreeance on most points: I yearned for more screen time with Heath Ledger, because he was amazing; the story is interesting; the movie looks great. However, there is one major thing that almost ruined the movie for me. WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH BATMAN'S VOICE? Everytime he came onto screen as Batman, Christian Bale whispered in a hoarse voice as if Batman had been up all night smoking cigarettes. It was comical and I just couldn't take it seriously. I mean, was it a disguise to keep people from thinking that he was Bruce Wayne? At some points, what he whispered was completely incomprehenisible causing all seriousness to be lost.

Can anyone explain this to me?

Thought this looked cool. Can you guess what it is?

Just Duo. My favorite musical group on the cruise, because they are the real life version of the Ana Gasteyer and Will Ferrel skit on SNL.

This version of "The Hustle" is incredible. The man played like 89 different instruments while the woman sang. Notice the people watching-- no one is hustling.

The only friends we made were fake.

Most disgusting pigeons I have ever seen. San Juan.

Man with a fanny in Oxford, Mississippi

While lounging on a bench, lazily observing the occasional passerby, I thought about my most recent photographic failure: while walking down Beale St in Memphis, a man in a hurry cut in front of me-- a man with a fanny, that is. I had absentmindedly left my camera in the car and had no means to capture this magical, mystical moment. It's an image to treasure-- a man with a fanny pack-- especially when the man sports the item in question to its exact fashionable purpose-- above the fanny, packing the items he just couldn't fit in his oversized cargo short pockets. While reminiscing this fond yet tearful memory, it just so happened that a man with a fanny walked by. I was caught off guard; however, I recovered quickly. I stuffed my book into my over-the-shoulder purse and pulled out my camera while I walked/jogged in order to catch up with the man. I took the first photo before crossing the street-- I probably looked like a fool, chasing this ordinary man with my digital camera. I knew that this photo was not good enough and I continued to follow the man; he was entering a building, and I didn't plan on going that far-- that'd be a little too extreme, right? So I quickly snapped another shot before he disappeared forever. Enjoy this unique marvel.

How to bombard someone with an Eiffel Tower in 5 steps...

1. Act like you're all BFFs and sandwich the victim.

2. Quickly follow this by interlocking hands with your arms wrapped around the prey. As the image shows, he is caught quite off guard.

3. Give him a little preview of what the near future holds.

4. He's probably confused at this point, so give poor guy some guidance. He will comply, if treated with patience and kindness, but most importantly reassurance that this won't be embarrassing.

5. Great success! And everyone's happy!
