Photo Of The Week: Morikami Park
Click icon to open site
Photo of the day is way too difficult. I'm switching to photo of the week. I'm also going to feature it as a module on the side of the front page. Whee, fun.
So anyhow, this new position has me busier than a one legged man playing tennis with Gary Kasparov. Ok,not really. But I have been pretty busy. A good busy though.
I have surprisingly little to write about lately, which has been apparent. A thousand apologies.

I woke up yesterday with an itchy throat and stuffy nose. Nothing too bad, just some mild allergies thanks to the brisk winds that have been blowing since Friday. Erin and I packed up our photo gear and coerced Iris into the car ("Want to go to the park, honey?"). Within 2 minutes of leaving her house, not even out of the neighborhood we share yet and I was completely
dis
orie
nted.
My head turned inside out. My vision spiraled from the horizon through my skull. Vertigo slammed into the back of my head and rippled through my occipital lobe.
Then, I was fine. I recognized everything once again. I knew where we were. I knew the green stuff on the ground was the perfect urban lawns. I knew the large, colorful shapes were houses.
A second tsunami spun sensory overload straight up the center of my sight. My vision tunneled and became over saturated. No thing look ed quit e rig ht. My eye s had stop ped ma king sen se. COLORS BECAME TOO BRIGHT AND TOO LOUD.
The words oozed from my mouth, I asked Erin to pull over. To stop. She did, and I asked her to take me home. I wasn't feeling well. I wasn't nauseous, something wasn't right inside my head. Inner ear fluids. Something.
She dropped me off and came back with the kinds of medicines only nurses know about. I took them, after having to ask her which ones to take when and not being able to remember, finally having to write it down.
Thought ceased and I slept for 5 hours.
I woke up, still not quite right, but I needed to clean my car. So I had Erin come get me, take me to her house where I'd left my car. We cleaned our cars, my head occasionally swimming like an epileptic in the 100m freestyle.
I came home and ate. I took the pills she'd given me and slipped off to sleep at 10 pm.
Still a little off today. But I'm much much better.
Photo Of The Day: Building
Living here (in Florida) aggravates the hell out of me. The architecture is cheesy 2nd rate art deco in hideous colors (mostly pink and green pastels, feel free to vomit). All the old buildings have been razed or renovated. Everything is constantly renewed. There's nothing good to photograph as far as locations or architecture. I mean, how many photos of the ocean, the beach, some field with trees in it, the construction sites and the rare as a diamond building with interesting architecture can you take? No one wants to see 50 photos of the same building or location. Arrgh.
I only have one model to work with (my girlfriend), and honestly, I don't know if I'd feel comfortable working with another one.
I desperately need a photo expedition/road trip.
Frustratedly yours,
Rich.

In other news, this promotion has me totally stressed. I'm going nuts trying to learn the processes involved with the duties. My brain is slowly basting itself in tension and information. I've been having more 'off' days in the last 2 weeks than I have had in the last 2 months. 'Off' meaning I'm just...not there...fried...irritated...not my usual self. I'm preoccupied with trying to get this right, so I can do the job right.
Calgon, take me away.
