This is life..
Something that cannot ever be described as unfair because it in itself cannot be fair..
A game of chance that you can never win or lose, you can only ever claim to have been unsuccessful or successful at it..
And at its most basic level the sole purpose is to procreate..
A situation where you're in charge but never in control

Skams now has a flickr :D!
see it here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/skammeh/ not that I've really taken any new pictures. I should have some new pics up sometime soon since I have a better idea of how to take some IR pics..

I'm a dork :D but I thought this would be fun :D

I was driving down from Mt. Wilson in the LA forest :o

Got a new camera :o

So I was a bit bored lately and started looking at infrared photography again and stumbled upon a converted camera for $100 bucks or so shipped from China. Which is a damn good deal some company wanted $300 just to convert an old camera of mine
It shoots pictures at 680nm which is near infrared so they come out ruby red before I go into photoshop and mess with them.. Protip: make sure photoshops colors match your monitor/windows so you don't spend time tweaking colors only for them to be different out of photoshop :(


Anyways I headed up to LA96C since I've always wanted to head up to an old Nike site and figured it would be an interesting place to take some pictures. I'd like to get more blue in the pictures.. will have to mess around with it more to get something I like more.

computer blues :(

Well a lovely power outage followed by a power surge has put my computer out of order for now :\.. It's fairly boring without a computer to entertain me and help me kill time so I've been striving to get out since I don't have much to do at home. Eh well I'm watching Things We Lost in the Fire right now and really liking it.. really worth checking out..

Snowboard update #4

So I got a few things done:
I finished bending the edges which took a bit of time to get done but wasn't that bad.. I just bent them by hand with some leather gloves, but now I've decided I want magnetraction so I still have some more bending to do.


Cut the excess of the edges


and started to polish the edges which is a hell of a pain D:

Random pics of the day

I didn't make this but got a kick outta it :D go sperm go ! get that egg!
