Getting back into photography has been great and I’ve learned a ton of new stuff since making my (less than) triumphant return (if I do say so myself). I’ve found a few really great websites, one of which is www.foundphotography.com. It’s actually a very elaborate blog run by website owner, Adrian Hanft, who happens to be a freaking genius and a seemingly all-around cool guy.
His first endeavor into combining every guy’s favorite childhood toy with photography was converting an old Polaroid 95a to use 120 film with nothing more than some Legos and a few common household supplies (tape, paper, stuff like that). After that, he decided to make this rad little pinhole camera out of nothing but Legos and some light-proof tape, complete with a working spool, shutter, and winding mechanism. Sound awesome? It is.
I highly recommend poking around his website at www.foundphotography.com, and especially checking out his collection of Lego cameras that he has since made.

I'm particularly excited for this goal.

I'm going to mark this one as "done," but...

So I’ve settled on Christianity. I’ve felt great since I’ve made my decision… Less uptight and more serene I guess you could say, though I’ve been much more full of life too. Anyways, it’s been good, but I think that centering yourself more spiritually is an ongoing journey, a work in progress. So, for the sake of my list I’m marking this as done, but I’ll always stay vigilant.

I swear I’ve never seen at least a quarter of the movies that I own, and the other three-quarters I haven’t watched in a good, long time.
