-LL











One of my most favorite artist: Lykke Li

Marcus Palmqvist photographs her often: (bottom two pictures) The top two photos are also his work, first is titled Yellow Silhouette and the second Hair.
Browsed his work and I really like it. Here's a video of Lykke Li he helped out with too:
My dream job: be a photographer for muscians/music artists, maybe be a photographer for a record label?......
God that'd be incredible. I've pondered doing photography for movies, I think that'd be sick, not the steadiest job but that'd be awesome. The set up is already there, I just have to photograph the story, which would be hella fun.
But music above all, my dream job...

day and night


Weird, I don't know if I can believe it, but then again, that Laguna picture does have night lights in the background, but who knows these days, with so much editing possible...






My favorite one pictured here. Done by Craig Copelin. I really like that he kept the shutter open, the shot is of his friends catchin up to him on a hike holding lamps, which is how the light streak is created. Craig quotes that he shot this with a Nikkor lense, D3 on a tripod, at F8 for 30 seconds, at f2.8, with 14-24 mm flim.
I really want to try this, hopefully it works with my Fujica on a B setting haha.

reALIze



Muhammad Ali:
Artist Michael Kalish did an art installation of boxer Muhammad Ali using 1,300 punching bags and aluminum and steel. The stainless steel Michael used takes up 5 miles. It took Michael 5 months to build this structure. It will show on March 25 to the public, at the Nokia Plaza in Los Angeles.

Happy Birthday Bekki my rekki.
Heartbeats: Jose Gonzalez

/one night to be confused
one night to speed up truth
we had a promise made
four hands and then away/

/both under influence
we had a divine scent
to know what to say
mind is a razor blade/

/to call for hands of above
to lean on
wouldn't be good enough
for me, no/

/one night of magic rush
the start, a simple tough
one night to push and scream
and then relief/

/ten days of perfect tunes
the colors red and blue
we had a promise made
we were in love/

/to call for hands of above
to lean on
wouldn't be good enough
for me, no/

/to call for hands of above
to lean on
wouldn't be good enough/

/and you
you knoew the hand of the devil
and you
kept us awake with wolf's teeth
sharing different heartbeats in one night/

/to call for hands of above
to lean on
wouldn't be good enough
for me, no/

/to call for hands of above
to lean on
wouldn't be good enough/


second time i've done this
heard the lyrics wrong but what i thought i heard was a beautiful line and i end up liking my version better.
he says "sharing different heartbeats in one night"
i thought it was "sharing different heartbeats in one life"

it's exactly like the time I thought Mariah Carey was saying "but if i knew everything i'd never fail" when she was really saying "but i thought i knew everything i never felt"

oh wellsiez.
