I love pictures

I see pictures all the time. Most i can't take. And not just a picture- but a real candid one, with natural lighting. There are laws against taking picutres of people you don't know and publishing them- which is why if you hang around me long enough-you'll end up in my photo log of over 2000 pictures. I like to practice with my friends, some photograph real well- others don't. Photogenicity(my word for 'being photogenic') has a lot to do with ones confidence in front of the camera and less to do with their physical features. When i say someone is photogenic, i mean that they have an honesty about themselves in front of the camera. Its actually a lot harder than it looks. I love photgraphing people like that, but they are few and far between.

Oddly enough I hate people taking pictures of me. I smile in most pics- its my default camera face. It makes me look nice or sweet. And suppose for the most part i am. But i have yet to see a pic of me that really shows me. I'm not sure I'd want to see that picture.

So on an unrelated note- i'm back to atlanta. I hate flying and two shots of vodka (courtesy of the man next to me) fixed that problem. I got off the plane and was greeted by moya who drove me home in her new one. She has a beautiful car and a lovely apartment. We went to see Alysia- it was so great to see her. We watched being bobby brown but i was knocked out within minutes. we drove home amidst a crazy storm- swearving to avoid trees that were knocked over by the sudden lightning storm. A huge tree had fallen and blocked the road and we watched as the power line sparked...

Blackout- i couldnt sleep. I can't sleep in silence, i hate to hear thoughts running through my head. I've trained myself to drown out my loud thoughts with the sound of alughtracks on the tv.

back here- gotta make it happen. Want to take more and more pics, want to share my visions with others.

Sigh...
