Hi all,

I’ve designed a new tee over on Threadless. Vote to get it printed, and I would get enough to be able to afford CS5!

Hello humans, terminals, and amorphous multi-lined spiders which exist solely within the internet,

Whee! Where to begin. So a photographer I admire added me as a contact on Flickr. After many deep breaths, I reciprocated and went to look at his profile. From there, my day grew incredibly short incredibly quickly. I noticed that he had a flavors.me address. I clicked on it, and it looked awesome. Being the normal young denizen of the internet that I am, I signed up for one. http://flavors.me/simonorr . I was adding services, when I scratched my chin and said, “hmm. Posterous?”. Posterous turned out to be a blogging service which you email stuff to post it. http://simonorr.posterous.com/ .

Now onto other things. I got a new Gakkenflex TLR, which is yet to be named. I should really finish my endeavors to create a page for each of my cameras. I think I will do that tonight (if I remember and/or don’t get distracted). Pictures are up on flickr and posterous.

I started a new photography project at http://aryaboudaie.info/simonorrstudio/thalia Which resides on my new website, Simon Orr Studio (the url is broken thanks to GoDaddy’s terrible customer service) http://aryaboudaie.info/simonorrstudio/ .

That’s all. I’m taking off my cardigan and putting on my shoes now.

Back from the grave, it’s SARCASM AND HAM! 0H N03Z!

Hello Internet (and Bubbles),

I’m thinking of starting a magazine of amazing photographs from interesting people called 23. It would feature pictures from two or three different people each issue, along with a biography of the person. I’m not sure it’ll take. What do you guys think? Would you submit? Here, I’ll do my first ever poll!

Hello Internet,

I made a logo for the blog!

Hello Internet,

The council of Elven Elders (one of my best friends and I) has henceforth named my LC-A+. He is named (drum roll) Harold. I know, it’s not a Russian name, it’s just that Nikola didn’t sound as good. I’ve also scanned the prints of some of the best shots of my first roll. Now, they look a bit cloudy (because Walgreens only prints glossy), so I’ll upload the negs once I’ve scanned them. For now, enjoy the slightly cloudy first roll from Harold!

Hello internet,

I was walking through San Francisco the other day, waiting to get my hair done. I walked into my favorite store, browsed a bit, then left to go to my appointment. I then went to the Ferry Building, ate lunch, walked around a bit, then went back to the store to buy something. I decided, after all, not to buy the thing I wanted to, and instead walked to the back of the store. Suddenly (cue dramatic, latent music) I saw a table at the back of the store, labeled, “sale.” I walked up to it. (swell in music) I browsed, book, book, book (gasp, music ceases) an LC-A+ (music stabs, then becomes happy). My dream camera. What I’ve been lusting after since I first discovered Lomography. I grabbed it, greedily, then frantically searched for the price. $100! That’s 2/5th the price it normally is! Oh, happy day! Needless to day, I bought it (conveniently, I had the cash on me) and went home happily. Tomorrow, I’m going to get my first roll processed. We’ll see how the pictures come out!
