I just got home from a 12 hour shift with the BSO fire rescue. Working for free rules!

...it wasnt that bad. Good crew, and mostly good patients.

Time for a drink and maybe a movie.

I haven't been to the movie theater in forever. DVD's are ruining my theatre experience. It's just too easy to add them to my Netflix Queue and watch them at my leisure.

anyway, here is a photo of Wolverine.

enjoy!

So I officially got listed as part of the opening day exhibition for the IWAN warehouse project's grand opening. the event is called "Bubble". I will post a link when there is one.

Tara hates this picture, and it's not very flattering but i like it for some reason. It may end up being on 5000 flyers, so...

off to taco tuesday at san loco!

Summer?

So a few weeks ago I got this note on a few of my Lomo photos on Flickr:

"Hi! How are you?
My name is Sofya, I am representing the international Lomography Community in Moscow (Russia) (lomography.ru, lomography.com).
We think that your images are so Important to us! And we would like to propose you to take part in the international lomography exhibition going to held in Moscow on June,5th, 2009.
This exhibition will be dedicated to the International Environment Day, fun and summer.

You can forward your hight resolution photographes to the email (sofya.suhova@gmail.com). Please don't forget to mention your full name or pseudonym, information about used cam ;)
It could be nice to see you on our exhibition also!
With best wishes,
Sofya,

Lomography embassy, Moscow, Russua.

LOve and MOtion! "

At first thought, I was thinking that this is pretty cool and sounds fun. I want to contribute. What's the worst that can happen right? Any chance to get my photos out there is good in my opinion. So, I wrote an email to the girl who sent the note asking for more information.

Today I got this:

"Hi! This is Sofya.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

I would like to thank you for all your emails and nice images regarding the Russian Lomography exhibition, which will be held in Moscow on June-July, 2009.

You are absolutely right that the location of Russian Lomography Embassy in Russia is in Saint-Petersburg. But at the moment we are planning to expand, therefore I am the representative of the Russian embassy in Moscow (from the end of April, 2009).

You can chek the news and contacts by the following links:
- lomography.ru/news.php?id=65
- lomography.ru/news.php?id=67

Unfortunately the English version of our website is under construction now, but as I see you have no problem with Russian.

I also have the email on the lomography.ru website: msk@lomography.ru, you can use it as well.

There is no information about our exhibition on the lomography.com because the dates of the event are not confirmed yet. We will complete the full information soon.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Once again thanks for the kind letters and interesting images.


Best wishes,
Sofya Suhova

It didn't really answer any of the questions I asked but I followed the Russian Lomography link : lomography.ru/news.php?id=67

and discovered that they used my photos to promote the event!

I think some people would be upset that the photos were used basically without asking but they did give me the proper credit and there is a link to my flicker page.

So I'm not sure what, if anything will come of this, but every baby step is a step in the right direction!

So Garo's new Venue/ art gallery / event center is slated to have it's opening day on June 6th 2009. Stay tuned for details. This place is going to finally bring some cool events/music/art to Fort Lauderdale.

If this doesnt work, I dont think anything will...
