I am incapable of answering a direct question posed to me. My interpretive brain immediately begins to parse the meaning of the question and wastes no time actually formulating an answer. I dare not say what I'm actually thinking. So I come off pretty stupid. Tonight I sat down to play my guitar and it took me about five minutes to remember the rhythm to a song I've been working on all week. I've always been this way. Today I stumbled across the chord progression to a Shins song. (The song is Gone for Good, the chords are c, f, c, g, c for the verses, Am, c, f, c-g (repeat second time) end on f. Just don't ever ask me to play it, I'll have forgotten how. Incidently this is almost the same chord progression for Summersault, by Zero 7. Very different rhythm, very similar chords.) But enough guitar wankery... Interpretive thought does have its advantages. Many times I've come up with great song ideas while just sitting around exploring rhythms, chords and sounds. Playing something wrong can be a wonderful accident, even though it makes me a horrible performer. If I was an actor I'd be the one whispering "Line!" all the time. Furthermore... Picked up a Pinback cd, "blue screen life". I ran out and purchased this little jewel after a listening to "Grey Machine". It gave me goosebumps, really. This cd doesn't contain "Grey Machine", but it does have ten new songs that I hadn't heard before. So do yourself a favor and head over to the sample page and download the two songs there. (...and go find a copy of "Grey Machine") One of my favorite shirts has a hole in it. I wore it today, but the hole is getting pretty obvious. It looks trashy, cool, but trashy. So my plan is to cut out the coolness, a giant barcode, and sew it to another less cool shirt. It will either bestow coolness on the new shirt or look like utter crap. cool. I have a blog personality. What? A BP is who you are when you blog. Mine is: "gets to complete an actual thought before getting interupted for taking too long to get to the point". Other poeple get saucy or mean or sarastic. I suppose that happens to me too. Here at least I get a chance to snack on a banana or dance in front of the fan before getting back to a thought. That very rarely happens in real life. "Please excuse me while my mind wanders off on to other matters" And to answer the question: Can you take a picture of a 35mm negative through a loupe and invert it back in Photoshop? Why yes you can. Witness: 
This crazy staircase led down from my apartment. The building was a converted home reconfigured to house eight seperate apartments. I lived in number 2, upstairs, one closet, a non-fuctioning fireplace, a functioning gas heater in the bathroom and built in bookcases and booth. I have a great 8x10 of this on my wall as well. I could have just taken a picture of it I suppose, but what fun is that? |
