📸 Canon SLR
I found an interesting camera on Ebay back in 2005 and played around with it for a few years. I’d like to point out that graffiti stencil stuff shown takes no sides–it was just an attempt to provoke thoughts. I was in my early twenties (selfies included).
Info on the printer & developer we used at the Millhopper CVS of Gainesville, FL: 🔗Bootlegged Banksy with a Noritsu
Always tryin’ to find that angle
B&W of a statue of whom is commonly known in U.S. America as The Laughing Buddha, but who was more accurately known as 🔗Budai
Statue was lost at Morning Calm Apartments in 2009. Grandpa Schammert bought it while touring overseas (probably before I was born).
One of the few times I went on a journey to take pictures. Was with a cool dude who is no longer with us.
Mole laying upside down taking a nap
That one time I replaced my buddy’s computer with a giant 65 LB cash register
I removed it and re-installed his computer the same night, so it was all good lol
Newcastle
808
Two alarms for an alarm clock was kind of helpful back then
Mushroom chilling in a log
From 2002 when my friends and I found the coolest dog (he went to an awesome loving household).
Point and Shoot camera (🔗high rez scan here). I’m the weirdo at the computer (my skateboard to my left)
I installed the ceiling fan (with help) lol
Beverages bottles on the kitchen floor (I got a photo op of a dirty trick by a roommate).
Dude carpeted my buddy’s room floor with standing empty bottles, and I couldn’t talk him out of it.
Used those fingerboard deck creating photoshop super skills to create a persona
Display, or DSPLY, or DP.
The 🔗All Terrain Scout Transport (AT-ST) stencil was my very weird attempt to show my support for the legalization of Cannabis
I got a little more use out of that back in 2010 thanks to a buddy.
Seat was stolen by BMX riders while skating West Side Skatepark (skate sidewalk) in 2007. And later someone stole the entire bike from an apartment complex bike rack :'(
I thought the old boxy Macintosh computers worked well with the stencil text font
Just cuz
At 20-30 yards I thought the stick was floating, so I had a closer look and had a laugh
You see it too right? That vine must have really wanted a dog
Backup data center of UF. That’s the … front door?
Data center tapes!
Better image of tapes!
On the tile floor was the RCA Voice Recorder (🔗RP-5010) I used to record all the Santa Fe Community College lectures I attended (a roommate worked at the backup facility, and thought the place was haunted (or perhaps he just didn’t like me)–no audio evidence lol).
A solid chunk of my 28 hours of study per week included listening to and taking notes using the college lecture recordings from the tiny RCA voice recorder device shown in image above
I’ve been cutting my own hair since 2001 lol. Senate wristband (I liked their backpacks and wheels), and the G-Shock I broke off my wrist during an aggressive inline picnic table session.
Screamo band t-shirt? Check. Stoic selfie? Check. Nerd living in a scruffy spot? Check?
A few moments later (before I had the one front tooth extracted)
That bathroom nearly always smelled of city pool chlorine .
About to squish the lens with all that powa
Was that really a screamo band shirt? idk
Water damage in the ceiling slightly visible above me
A lot of parties took place around that pool back then.
Sidewalk looked close enough for a few drop tricks
Frontside flip for $20. Any takers? lol
Water line check at Lake Alice, Gainesville, Florida
5x7 B&W of a mole as I found it. There were a few stray cats in the area at the time.
Cat that prob killed the mole. I felt so bad about setting spring loaded mouse traps as a kid that I started developing my own contraptions lol
tbh wasn’t sure if bobcat until I developed the photos (digitized all to CDs)
Behind the mattress shop off NW 13th and 16th (Georgetown Apartments, Villa Ravine Apartments, Walgreens, Starbucks, Dick’s Sporting Goods, etc.). This picture got an honorable mention in the Gainesville Sun (local newspaper) for a Halloween photo 🔗contest
PDF backup of the article 🔗here. Gainesville.com is RAM hungry with Ad blockers
I think this was my first attempt at the image above.
No spray foam was harmed in the placement of that PVC pipe
I think this was my second attempt at this shot.
Not quite focused or framed the way I wanted. Can’t remember if I took two trips or one
