the j hole and my imminent indulgence

EPOCH!  I'm at cairns lurkport, struggling with my eye's colour correction and the amount of coffee I have assumed.  Everything around me is green, the walls are green, the floor is green and the big panes of green tinted glass are especially green.  If I keep my eyes on the screen my brain manages to get it together and provide me with white whites, if i look away the screen goes magenta (in my peripherals) and stays like that for a while.  It's wiggidy, I've seen it before too.  One time I emptied the cars out of my garage, blacked it out, put speakers down there, 4 day beds, a smoke machine and one of those super rad structural party lazers, a classic case of too much green,  Whenever I managed to escape the wig dungeon I was not at all escaping, i was merely leaving the green world for the magenta world.  Not that these problems are ever problems but right now I am trying to go through the last day of photos from my NZ trip (yaya!!!)  just in time for another onslaught of visual intrigue.  

This time I want to take a pseudo-bulk amount of photos, in the sense that I want a 75% shot ratio.  Thus I've brought 2 film bodies and my bag of films.  I've also figured that my wireless party can is perfectly casj with both of these film bodies.  No excuses lamb.   I bought a domain name (well my buddies bought it, I'll buy it later) for my website, its going to be lamby.com.au which i am stoked about.  

I am now 100% excited.  大きな山はどこですか !!?

Here are some b+w, one of these rolls which I got developed last week, is over a year old D: D:  

no time to proofread, missing my plane !

gung ho dudes, trying to do a band shoot.  had 3 studio heads and ended up using only 1, set to lowest possible modeling lamp.

not at all caf/i can believe it's not butter.

here's some colour to blow your eyes

up to no good

here is a little GoPro video that i derived from 2 runs on the first hill we partook whilst touring NZ recently.  The forwards run with me was shot by my pal Gabe and the backwards run was shot by me...  when i say shot i mean wore the helmet and had a sick time.  Shot it on the gopro black 1080@30, worked a charm!  Kinda wish i'd shot in super bulk 2.7 but its a hassle and normally ends up corrupted, wooo gopro.   There's more to come, from slrs and gopros, but that's all being edited by Matt, dude in no shoes!, and will be out soon enough.   It's long and tranq, dont expect to be blasted away, it's best viewed as a stoketually progressive journey in which we travel hand-in-hand with gravity in an effort to oppose the unlimited powers of elevation.  Comes in a wide variety of p's... choose your own adventure.

big plans with no execution

I've realised that I'm a sucker for exciting things and I tend to base my entire life around pursuing exciting things, often in the sense of activities but, for the purposes of this rant, in the way that I wish to present my photos.  Last year I travelled to a few places and have, for the most part, kept the photos to myself.  I can attribute multiple reasons for this, the main one being that I wanted to get something 'more' out of them and to present them in a more exciting medium than this here blog but thanks to some regulation hindsight I've again realised that is a silly idea because that's not why I took the photos in the first place, If i was all 'yeah ima fot that bridge and im going to sell it this dude' than, maybe, I'd have reason to keep these photos hostage.  The images I am, for the most part, referring to are ones that I made on my april skate races trip, Paris trip, Euro road trip and they're especially tricky because of their emotional weight and for that reason, my general lack of desire to look through them and pattern laziness that regulates lamb's productivity, has resulted in the siege between my double-click and the folders that house the photos.

Living in the now is epic, it's what i want to do for ever and thats how i like to take photos but preaching this style of preach does not get handsy with a dollar-based future in making pictures.   I've had some extreme luck in regards to skayboding and now that I'm gaining insight into what goes into being a real pro dude that can convert photos into food I'm gaining a greater sense of refreshment....  It's refreshing because I've realised how tiny the percentage of sellable photos is to other photos and it massages my delight because I know that robbing a photo of it's exclusivity will rarely ever prove to be a problem, especially for me because the photos I take are usually of pretty things that I want other people to see enjoy too and not for other people to buy.  

The only problem on my hands now is time and I obviously can't complain about time as it makes up everything that is, so here i am stuck complaining about my efficiency and thus found myself, once again, in a disorienting state of infinite regress as my i'm complaining about a problem that, by complaining about, am only making worse.  My new header photo is attached to this last paragraph.

I thought i'd mark this intriguing situation with some photos from Paris.  Also, being less caught up about everything is something I'm welcoming back into my life.    Reckless Lamb silica'd his lacrimal glands.

the following photos were made on kodak ektachrome 100vs, fuji pro160s and kodak colourplus 200
