This was the night of Ali’s birthday… sorry ali, didn’t get any of you, as you were in tulsa… the following night I also didn’t get any, because the light in the dfry is shit. Also, I’m not shooting as much as I used to. it ebbs and flows, just like everything else, and right now, I’m at an ebb… I’ve just had an idea for a new project, though, one that’s been staring me in the face for months and me not even noticing. The working title is ‘hackers in the heartland’… a hacker in the sense of ‘maker’ or ‘expert’. You know who you are, expect emails soon. Anyway, on with the photos. <br /> <br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/two_fridays_ago…/1039/0038.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/two_fridays_ago…/1039/0039.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/two_fridays_ago…/1039/0040.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/two_fridays_ago…/1039/0042.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br />

I took all these photos. Ok, in that last post, where I said I hadn’t taken any good ones of Ali when we were celebrating her bday? I lied. There’s one here that I really like and another that’s all right, but it’s not her face. What else? That was a dfry night, which is becoming more and more common now that blue note has changed the jukebox. My favorite bar is changing owners very soon… this has happened once before, and that change brought us ladies night and free pool afternoons, but we lost good show coming out of there, so maybe this time we’ll keep the free beer and get back some awesome shows. <br /><br />Then there are the two pictures in here that aren’t portraits. I’m becoming more impulsive with my photography, and that off ramp was an extreme example. I glanced out of the bar door, saw something, and had a compulsion to go out and shoot it. That’s all I came up with; although there are several frames, I only like that one. What else? Holly, you’d better be treating my hat well. Regular walks, exercise, hand wash only. Now I have to get photos off the camera. <br /> <br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_seven_days_since…/1043/0043.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_seven_days_since…/1043/0044.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_seven_days_since…/1043/0045.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_seven_days_since…/1043/0046.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_seven_days_since…/1043/0047.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_seven_days_since…/1043/0048.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_seven_days_since…/1043/0049.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_seven_days_since…/1043/0050.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_seven_days_since…/1043/0051.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_seven_days_since…/1043/0052.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br />

nobody could believe what was happening… I could scarcely deal with it myself… I mean, look at these girls… and I wasn’t on my game, just imagine what was actually happening… <br /><br />seriously though, I need to do some catch up on photos… these are seriously stale… expect a post every three hours until I’m caught up to what’s in the camera right now. no promises that the front text will make any more sense than this one did. <br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/two_wednesdays_ago…/1046/0018.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/two_wednesdays_ago…/1046/0019.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/two_wednesdays_ago…/1046/0020.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/two_wednesdays_ago…/1046/0021.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/two_wednesdays_ago…/1046/0022.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br />

first one will be brief. This is from two wednesdays ago, for once I wasn’t out at blue note, and Chelsea came down to get a cell phone (I have spares and hers was spastic). While I was looking for the charger, she says, “Why don’t we go to norman and see my friends play a jazz set?” and of course I went. I always have some fantastic luck when I hang out with her; I met a former South African paratrooper at one party, or there was the time we came across fire-dancers just before a rock show, etc, etc. This time, one of the professors from OU showed up and asked to sit in, and dude was cool. Didn’t hog the stage, played a couple good numbers, and left. And my five minutes were up a while ago: <br /><br /><span class=”caption” >Trumpet playin’ man.</span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/five_minutes_for_a_blog_post…/1049/0001.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/five_minutes_for_a_blog_post…/1049/0002.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/five_minutes_for_a_blog_post…/1049/0003.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><br />More later.
