17 Snapshots I Took Between April 23rd and May 1st On A Low-Price-Point Film Stock That I Now Understand The Price Of, And Also These Scans The Lab Sent Me Were Definitely Jpegs Before They Were Tifs, Which I’m A Little Salty About
Thanking my lucky stars that these scans got sent early, cause I really had nothin up my sleeve for this week.
My roommate has officially moved out, so I’ve been doing a lot of thrifting and facebook marketplace scrolling to source some new furniture and knick knacks and pots and pans and what not. I’ve got three new roommate meetings this weekend, as well as my first time coxing for a rowing club I checked out last Saturday. I’ll be in the boat when this gets sent out, ideally not getting rained on. Sunday, however is the big day. I got hired to shoot a Willamette Week cover, so stay tuned for those images. I’m VERY excited.
Probably the scariest card in the deck, The Tower signifies a fall from grace, from order, from a life you’ve spent a long time building. It represents disillusion, chaos, failure, tragedy, trauma, the crumbling of everything you thought you knew. Very very scary! But of course every card has its positive and negative aspects. The tower only crumbles if it’s structurally unsound. The lightning strike represents external events that force you to shake up your life and encourage you to build or strive for something better. You can view this tower as a prison - one the people couldn’t recognize for what it was until the disaster took place. It’s a wake up call more than anything.
Again, don’t worry about me, I’m not actually feeling the Tower’s energy right now. I chose it this week more for the disruption-of-home aspect. Many of my belongings have found temporary new homes on the floor. Maybe I’m post-Tower? I’m definitely in a weird, anxious (but largely optimistic and hopeful) transitional state. I think life’s going to feel a lot different come June.
Happy Saturday :)
Wish me luck!
