A typical "photographer taking a photo of a photo being taken" photo.
Things not to do when taking pictures: obscure the face of a person, have
bright-on-bright in a black and white photo, take your film to a crappy
commercial lab. The last item will become clear when you see the other
photos that came from this roll. If the guy behind the counter says they're
the only b/w lab for a kilometre around, he's lying. The next photo of Lucy
is much better, or you can look at her pics from Friday
night at Maritime Hall.
Stephanie and Web. Aren't they just cuuuuuuute? Steph, Web,
EdVamp and I
were hanging out in bratling/Robert's room, after the afterparty in
nightbird/Robert's room, smoking a clove and
telling stories. I crashed eventually when these two were still awake. Did
they sleep? I didn't ask.
The better Lucy picture. She's wearing black, she's dramaticly lit,
and she's trying to claw out her left eyeball.
Okay, this picture is a bit of an in-joke, but if you've been paying
attention to what I've said in the annotated pages, then you'll
understand why I had to take a picture of this and why I altered it.
If it helps, it's not a blood stain left by rampaging occultist death
worshiping Marilyn Manson listening goths.
arachnid/Soyung, an acquaintance from when I started on IRC,
seen here
in her natural habitat. I didn't use a flash, so nothing should have
washed out, but she is. Her
homepage has much better pictures.
Pity none of those pictures are with what she was wearing when I got to
see her. Half of the reason I went to San Fran the first time was
because she asked me to. We get to meet for about 20 minutes each time
I'm in California, then she's back to work and I'm back to adventuring.
Two jokes in one. First, the still life photo is a florentine crepe
I had on Haight street at a place called the "Squat and Gobble 2."
Eriktik/Eric and Nebelhexa/Tanya took me there during my hung over state,
and I made the mistake of drinking milk. When I saw Tanya's yummy omlette I
did not feel comfortable. Before I left San Fran I had to return to prove
I could defeat nausea and enjoy a good crepe. It also reminded me of
San Fran's famous Brunch
Line Assembly.
The second joke is the Maritime Hall advert. Look
closely at the second event following Convergence III.
