the awesome/terrifying freedom

nothing soothes the soul and eases the mind like a trip to the apple store.

clearly a gay man is behind the design and hiring of this store. the place is like club monaco, except for computers. all the sales people are men. and they are all so goddamned cute.

i bought a 200 gig hard drive. enough for like five hundred thousand songs. it may give me the space to attempt some video editing.. we shall see. anyway the guy who sold me the thing smiled this curly bonde aw shucks wet puppy dogs in a sudsy barrel smile when he said 'that'll be $246,' and i swear he actually said 'hi, can we roll around naked in freshly laundered sheets like the snuggle bear?'

there also happened to be a seminar featuring many notable nyc photobloggers, which was super super cool. very weird to suddenly be in a room with over a hundred people not unlike yourself. all of them the type of person who carries their camera around everywhere they go, then runs home to post the latest cool thing they snapped. unfortunately i'm just out of frame in the pic above. i was temped to take out my camera and snap pictures of people snapping pictures of people snapping pictures to post on their blog about snapping pictures, but that would just invite about twenty levels of redundancy. it was fun, though, and inspiring. makes me want to post more pics. and it's great to look at other work - see how uniquely other people see things, and to keep working to see the unique -whatever- in my surroundings, to keep my eyes open, and to see more detail.
