this one makes me pretty happy.

the great book of john has finally released their first album, Yves' Blues.

there isn't much one can say about this.

so, i guess i have decided that others' work is okay, but i also think i've decided it'd need to be solicited. that is...they need to offer it...i don't want to have to grab it.

so..i bring you the following from an email from caleb

I offer this to you has the first ever guest spot on poptpop:

J Wades Grandpa taking a picture in WWII of another soldier taking a picture of a soldier:

(not quite the same ring, but i'll go with it)

so day 275 marks my return to the daily. here's the deal... i have a few i can post. the problem is i've just shot 35 rolls in europe and just sent the film off today and don't exactly know when i'll get it back..otherwise i'd catch up and keep rolling. i'll figure something out, but there may be a hiccup or two here and there. i'll try (for my own sanity) not to let it drop.

so...the return photo is this stephanie. one because seriously thats the longest neck i have EVER seen. secondly, it seems fitting since she is coming in town tomorrow evening. its a nice welcome home.

so here is long neck girl.

current tally is actually more even than expected. 20 rolls BW and 12 Color. have a loaded, half-shot BW roll in the new camera that i'll exhaust when we go to the park, though i have maybe 3 rolls tops of color left. we'll see what dominates. oh...i have a roll in the hexar too. forgot about that guy.

/random

man i'm gonna have so much catching up to do.

back to Vienna. Happy about that. Shooting has slowed somewhat mostly due to us being crammed on trains and in cabs for a good while. Not to mention that its our second time on this trip alone to Austria.

Excited about a couple of things in the pipeline but I have so much to do.

I am still ready to change the world and working in how. Its a huge world so local is the way start I guess.

Perhaps a 4x5 project.

so we are in coratia still and its lovely, though perhaps more cold than one wants at a beach place. our plans are all over the place and it seems we'll be headed back to vienna soon, which is exciting for real. really had a blast there before and our schedule and our current location dont provide for much more. whatever.

i've been on schedule more or less with around 2 rolls a day. lots of poptpop action.
