nikon f3 velvia 100 35mm lens

a few notes about the great basin project (project below)
all shots were shot in film with a nikon f3 that was made the year after i was born. film is all fuji 400 that you can buy at most super markets. negatives scanned into computer and then manipulated to please me in photoshop. i wanted them to look like they were shot in the 70′s or 80′s but with a contemporary twist. again they are a work in progress.
project next two posts in blog.

note: i don’t like to search the internet for pictures to steal, but since i don’t have a digital camera right now i felt it was ok to “appropriate” these two images to make something else for fun.

i was reading this and became irate at my screen and decided to write the following:
NASA Nostalgically. Afflicted. Space. Adventurists. NASA
Yay!!! Rockets to the moon! Rockets to mars! Rockets to…. Come on! What is this? 1961? I care about rockets? Its 2010! Like the sequel to 2001!! I’d rather “…do the other things…” …We should be way past rockets! …Someone screwed the pooch… I mean I’m sure its impressive to see one lit but doesn’t it sound almost dare i say, “folky”? 2010!!! Dah! I should be able to catch a connecting flight to a space station orbiting jupiter from the moon, and then riding some laser beam just wearing a thermal tie, sunglasses and a smile be shot directly to neptune! ….What do we got?! ….Err…. Rockets?…. ^@%$ *&%!!!!
Maybe the reason none of this has happened is because, despite popular belief, space is no more interesting than the SPACE in between your ears. Mars? I’ve traversed it countless times using google earth and just kind of chuckled to myself about how rad i was… but thats it. That chuckle was not worth the billions of dollars that made it possible for me to simulate those conditions, so it really won’t be worth the larger billions it takes some MIT grad to chuckle the same thoughts, just actually there… at least not to me. I mean… most people in the US don’t even know how to spot mars at night, those asteroids are in BFE, and the kettle is a bit too hot for its own good! Maybe we should stop thinking about jerking off our huge rockets and focus on the kitchen before the house burns down! I think Obama should defund the crap out of NASA… focus on whats brewing a little closer to home for a bit, give me most of NASA’s money… pick up the red phone with the letters N-A-S-A on it and say,
“Thanks for all the photos, rocks, modern day conveniences, laughs and so forth, BUT… YOU! SIR!… SCREWED THE POOCH!…. and i loved that dog…. now its dead. no!…. stay away from Bo! don’t call back…umm…ever… goodbye. ….. Huh? yeah… its Barack… yeah…. yeah… NASA! NASA! …yeah, sorry… got a little carried away just then… ok. NASA? ohh OK…. yeah…. No… don’t call back. I’m hanging up now…. Ok yeah… Thai sounds great for dinner. You too…. bye.”
Seriously next time someone makes a movie with a specific date in it, someone at NASA better be damn sure that when that day comes everything scrubs out right…. because if not! you get ranting posts on things like the internet…. which they couldn’t for see back then but is pretty sweet.
oh, and the plan might make sense but thats really not my business.
