Rough sketch

Didn't feel like running tonight. Had to force myself to do something productive, so picked up the sketchbook for the first time in months, and did this quick 25 minute rough sketch from a photo I found on Tumblr. Pentel Pocket Brush pen, pastels and conte on some recycled paper.

Is it spring yet?!

After shovelling what felt like 400 lbs of wet snow off the driveway this morning, I can now say I officially hate this shit weather. Can spring just effing arrive already? Ten days to Portugal...

It's been a busy couple weeks, and I've done little to no shooting in that time. Although I did get out to snap a few shots for that architecture magazine project I was asked to help out with. Sample photos of the new Calgary Board of Education Building below... yawwwwn, I know. Sorry. I'm feeling uber uninspired.

Blank...

Every once in awhile, I feel like I get stuck. There is work to be done, movies to be watched, books to be read, photos to be edited, games to be played, new albums to check out, a wedding shoot to prepare for, and just about a million other things that I could entertain myself with. But I just have this feeling of indifference and apathy... it's been building for about a week and like this vicious cold, I can't seem to shake it.

You know it's gotten bad when the photolab informed me that there were no exposures on my 2nd roll of film taken during my photowalk, and I just shrug and walk away. If I were to remove myself from my body for a second, and emulate what my normal reaction would be: 1) SHUT UP MORON AT THE PHOTO COUNTER - YOU DON'T KNOW SQUAT AND YOU SCREWED UP MY FILM!!! or 2) WTF?!! GOD DAMN YOU YASHICA! I SHOULD TOSS YOU OUT LIKE LAST WEEK'S TRASH! or at least 3) obsessively try to dismantle the uptake mechanism in the camera to see what went wrong.

But nope, there's just complete apathy. Troubling...
