My chaotic life, as I mentioned before, hasn't made room for much music. So the instruments wait.

There was a barred owl sitting across the street from the Modern Tire place in Chilliwack. I passed by it on the way to the pet hospital with my dog; when I returned 45 minutes later, the predator was still there. So I took some pictures.
It's probably pretty obvious that I thought this was really, really cool.
It might still be sitting there, 6 hours later. When I passed the tree an hour ago, it was still there. The last time I saw one of these was when I was a camper at Youth Camp at Camp Qwanoes, probably back in 1997 or so. We had arranged a scavenger hunt for a "cabin date" and happened to walk right into a juvenile, sitting on a branch at eye level.
I've been in Victoria for most of July, taking courses at UVic. Here are a few photos I've taken:
Music-wise, I've been working on some loops for a new project. Still hoping to get some songs mastered in July with my cousin in Victoria.
In the meantime, I've been taking lots of photos. Here are a few digital ones from a recent trip to 100 Mile House.
My first camerahack attempt using my Argus (above) was a failure. When I got the film developed, the computers at London Drugs couldn't find the images, they were so overexposed. I could see a couple faint shadows on the developed film, but could barely make out an image. I used a Sharpie to delineate the ends of the photos I hoped to see, but the computers still couldn't find them. I vowed to buy a negative scanner so I could "develop" the images myself. I didn't get such a scanner for another 5 years or so.
And I lost that piece of negative. I thought it might be lost forever. Until tonight. While organizing photograph prints, I found the negative. it was bent and in really rough shape. But after some wrangling with the scanner frame, after five years of waiting, I finally got to scan the thing. Here's what I scanned:
I gotta' admit that I love them. They worked perfectly. They are perfect failures.
