Photo Of The Week: Texture
Click icon to open siteThe Fire Theft are coming! The Fire Theft are coming! I’m definitely going to see the legendary emoness that is Jeremy Enigk. How could you miss it? If you can find the songs ‘Sinatra’ or ‘Carry You (In My Breath)’, I highly suggest them. I also suggest downloading as many Metallica songs as possible and deleting them.
I’m definitely bringing the Minolta and the Holga cameras for the show.
I had to give a short speech in front of 100+ people today, for work. Talk about nerve racking. I’ve never been one for public speaking, I don’t even like being the center of attention if more than 2 people are around.
I won a Fisher Price camera from eBay and received it the other day. Last nite I took it apart to fix the (assumed) broken film loading door. As I was messing with it, I accidentally put my finger on an exposed electronics board and the fucker shocked me. A lot. There was enough juice in it to make me almost throw the camera, and it left a blister. There were no batteries in it. Let me say that again, THERE WERE NO BATTERIES IN IT. It’s possessed. Then it shocked me again. Out of spite, I touched a screwdriver to the board and shit just exploded. The arc popped loud enough to scare the shit out of everyone in the living room. Evil. Evil. I can’t wait to use it.
I think I’m obsessed with photography and cameras.

No kidding. Are you sure it was the camera, and not just you? Shocking.
that’s nuts!!! fisher price IS evil dude…
posessed cameras are the best kind Rich!
no wonder it was being unloaded on eBay!
Oh, that is FUNNY.
cameras that do that are the best.
lol, that is too funny … sorry!
all together now….CAPACITANCE. if there’s a capacitor in there, it stores energy. there’s enough juice left in a tv tht hasn’t been turned on since 85 to kill you.
just a little friendly neighborhood electrician geekery for you.
What’s that Steph? There’s a flux capacitor in my TV???
Obsession you say? I have my own version…
dude, you have a death wish or what ? Don’t you know better than to mess with Fisher Price ? You definitely remind me of my nephew.
He’s 4.
Good luck with your speech. I hope this obsession lasts for a while because I like your photos of the week.
Cooool. Try to get a photo of the camera shooting sparks, m’kay?
