sometimes it just can’t be foller’d
Oct 27, 2009This weekend Hayden, Henry and I had a big ol’ shindig. We played video games and kicked around a soccer ball, and Hayden showed us his standup bass skills (had to learn for his high school music program), all while I took pictures of leaves.
WE’RE DORKS. (In other words, Hayden, jumping over a garbage can.)
And disposable cameras! The film in these was so much better than the crap I brought on my canoe trip. Such pretty colors! Oh my! These ones are mine.
I love this so much.
I wrote this short story at Hayden’s house to express our photo bonanza.
United once again, the trio makes their walk to the pharmacy. They plan to buy cameras – cheap disposables – to take pictures at the park. “We have to use all the film in an hour,” remarks Henry, wary of the group’s time. After purchasing three cameras and four Reeses Peanut Butter Lovers Peanut Butter Cups (four for two bucks, yo), they head over to the park.
Quickly, they begin taking photos of each other. Hayden, jumping over a capsized garbage can. Henry, candidly shot, staring emotionally to the distance. Spencer, frolicking like a child. “A five-year-old child,” Hayden adds. “We look back and he’s taking a picture of a leaf.”
Wanna peanut?
Twin towers.
Uuuuuggghh.
So surprised the fountain was on.
In addition we watched Slingblade, which made me want biscuits n’ gravy, which led to my discovery later that there is more the one type of gravy. WHO. KNEW. (also: talk about most unrecognizable halloween costume – Hey what are you? Oh Karl. Karl? Yeah..)
Wow I can’t believe I snapped at someone. (Henry didn’t break the toilet, by the way; it was already.) We so crazy.
Title: Grapes of Wrath.
Let it be noted that I took the first picture. (edit: no, you’re in it!)
Fun day.
Apparently I have a lot to say/ask today…
Is disappointed you did not include the photo you talked about…’Spencer, frolicking like a child.’
Did you use Kodak Disposables? You are right..the colors are amazing…and the photo of the hand…did you use flash on that for it to appear so overexposed?
Did you realize you were filming yourself before you turned the camera toward Hayden? You look like you have candy in your mouth or something…hehe
Sling Blade is such a great movie. And I never tried mustard on a biscuit until then. Yum.
Am I the only one who can’t see the video? I tried it in Firefox and IE, but all I see is a black screen, but I can hear the sound.
According to the captcha, Boston is Risking…
People use expensive fancy DSLR cameras & processing in Photoshop to fake the effects you can get simply by using a cheap disposable camera.
The laugh at the end was great. Watched it twice just to hear it. Great photos!
Spencer Tweedy has a rockin charitable soul. And I hear, he poops rainbows too. xo
wow.. these photos are actually really amazing, i’m impressed that you were able to take them with a disposable.
Oh wait, I stand corrected! It’s sunshine he poops!! But probably rainbows too!!
Yup. You definitely take some nice pictures – proof that it’s more in the eye than the equipment. And someone has to use up all the film before it goes away completely. Is there a reason you don’t take digital pictures?
A Reeses cup a always a way to brighten a day
questions: did you really not know there is more than one kind of gravy? if so, what kind of gravy had you heard of or had before? i find this surprising since your father grew up in southern illinois. i live half an hour south of belleville… i know we loves our gravy down here!
