Snowboard...s! coming along :D

So I got a package today :D with the two bases I sent off! and they're perfect as can be. One for me and one for my friend. They actually looked like they were the same length and I thought the guy had screwed up and sent me two of the sizes for me :\ but then I put them down and saw that everything was good :D!


Off to the side is my new vacuum pump.. that's actually old but it was only 50 bucks :D

The snowboard project.. starts over.. D:

Well I've decided to re-start on my snowboard as the p-tex (the base) was cut pretty badly at least I thought. So instead of finding out how a slightly uneven board rides I've decided to start over and not even bother cutting it myself this time. So here is mine in all its computerized glory as I'm sending the design off so I can have it cut.. perfectly! for me.




I decided to glue on the edges anyways since I won't be able to use them for the new one:



and this is why I decided to start over :





Eh ya little things kinda I guess.. but not really to me and I don't want to end up making something that's shitty..

and so

and so

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..
