i was lucky enough to get 2 new cameras recently:

a polaroid sx-70 (used, of course), and
a nikon d700!! (also used)

i'm really excited! i had an sx-70 before, but it broke, and i've been polaroidless for a while. i'm looking forward to getting some more film from the impossible project.

also, the d700 has been the object of my coveting for several years. in fact, getting this camera was my biggest dream in recent times. and now i'm holding it in my hands, and shooting awesome photos with it!!

fuck, things seem to be working out.

thank you, karma.

110 film

110 film is apparently no longer available anyfuckingwhere.

last weekend, i got a 110 film-using camera as a prize after filling out a survey at a photo tradeshow. now i know why they were giving so many of them out for free.

next project

the next project that i'm working on might turn into another book, but this time, it's a collaboration! tentative theme: colorful.

i just got my first digital slr

i just got my first digital slr, a nikon d70. it's a few years old, but i got it for about 10% of it's release price!

i thought it would be fun to own a dslr, but i didn't know it would be *this* fun!! before, i carried my camera around at all times, and when i saw something that made me think "i *must* get a shot of that!", i took it out and shot a photo.

but with this camera, i just feel like i want to shoot everything around me in every direction at all times, and it's so fun!

as of now, my two favorite cameras are my most expensive one and my cheapest one.

persian?

my photos seem to keep popping up on blogs of a certain language. without the people asking me (though i don't particularly mind that). but i'm pretty sure the blogs are in persian?

it seems strange to me.

stock photos

i've decided to start doing stock photography work. it's a lot different from the kind of photography that i've been doing up till this point, but at least i have the possibility to make some money, and without having a real boss.

much research is needed.

book published!

the book is finished!!!

AWESOME!!!

it'll just take some time to get everything set up so that it will be available for purchase in a lot of places.

for now, it's available here:
