The only good photo to come out of yesterday. I have hopped on that Hawaiian-girls-underwater bandwagon.

Jonathan on why he shoots film:

“I’ve shot film from day one. Attempted to convert to digital a couple times, but have stayed 100% film throughout my whole career. I shoot film for a myriad of reasons. The main reason is the look. I love the images I can get straight out of camera without manipulation on my end. I also shoot film to minimize my time behind a computer. I’m a husband and father of 6 kids 9 and under and shooting film gives the the ability to do what I love and still have a family life. I’m a photographer, not a digital editor. Also, I love the mindset that comes with shooting film. I’m not burning through rolls and rolls of film at assignments or when shooting personally. When I take a shot, I take one and move on. It really slows me down, makes me very deliberate in how I compose and when I hit the shutter. I’ve shot mostly weddings for the span of the last 13 years and am making a move towards more commercial/lifestyle and families. I shoot a ton of personal work of my travels and my family.”

I’m tired of being told and expected to act a certain way in order to be accepted and to make friends. I am not concerned about being your friend. I am concerned about being myself. Get your gender roles and internalized misogyny out of my face.

I took a 7 week coast to coast road trip after being laid off from Boeing. I didn’t have a camper but realized that being able to pull off the road at a rest or truck stop was the way to go to make the trip affordable. With a few sheets of 1/2” plywood and misc. hardware this is what I came up with. The effort was well worth the time and materials.

Today the hospital called me and told me I would have to sign for my dad after his surgery and watch him for the next couple hours. I was about to take a final. I told her I would be there as soon as I could. I heard my dad in the background, “Just take your final! I’ll be okay.” I raced through it without double checking my answers. I emailed my professor telling her I would miss my next class. I called my boss telling her I would be late. When I got there, a nurse was waiting to release him to me. While he was getting ready, she told me how he kept asserting he would be fine on his own.

“He’s stubborn like that,” I said, half embarrassed.

“People like that are the ones with the strongest spirits. They live longer,” the nurse responded with a smile. She was sweet…an old Hispanic grandmother offering a girl comfort in a stressful time.

I stayed with my dad in his room all afternoon. At some point I fell asleep and woke up to his jacket on me for a blanket. The TV was on and my dad had dozed off watching football. Somehow he had gathered the strength to get up to put his jacket on me. I looked at him and realized I hadn’t really looked at my dad in a while. When did he get so old? I don’t remember his hair being so gray. In the past couple years I was too occupied with myself and the changes in my life from college, from jobs, from water polo, from relationships, I didn’t notice my parents were aging. I wish I could be their little girl forever.
