Why do I gotta title this?

As usual this blog has experienced a shortage of posts.  There's been no point in blogging lately, not about mundane things like school and such.  However, my friend Kumi at Canadian farm in Nagano, Japan emailed me the other day.  She said that Haseyan, the owner of Canadian farm, is in San Diego building a traditional Japanese style house and that I should go visit him.  I'm not sure if anyone who reads this knows where I live but I live in North Carolina, completely opposite side of the US from San Diego.  Even though there is such a great distance the idea still lingered on my mind... I'm thinking now that I'll ditch school for a week and go to San Diego.  I found a pretty cheap plane ticket, only like $252, not too bad.  I have no idea how everything is going to happen but that's the next thing I'm going to work on.

Lately I have had a bit of a resurgence in photography.  I'm taking a photography class which hasn't benefited me at all but apart from that I have been walking around downtown during the last few weeks when the temperature was nice, up in the 60ies!  I ended up running into a few photographers that inspired me to start shooting more often so that's what I'm working on doing.  This picture was of a homeless guy I ran into.  I asked him for his picture and he asked me for some change... I didn't like the idea of paying for a shot but he probably needs the money so, yeah, the picture turned out well.  Unfortunately I didn't get his name. If I get to go to Cali I'm going to have a great time shooting out there, lots of new scenery.  Hopefully some rockin' food too!
