500 DAYS of SUMMER

An offbeat romantic comedy about a woman who doesn't believe true love exists, and the young man who falls for her.








I must say, this movie lived up to the buildup. I heard nothing but pleasing and positive remarks of the film, over and over and thought to myself that after I see it for myself, after I come up with my own verdict, that I would be unsatisfied. Not the case at all. The music that played throughout this film unquestionably added to what was being portrayed. 500 DAYS OF SUMMER is realistic, refreshing, and right on. I love this movie.

Friday the 24th.

I've been doing nothing but taking pictures lately. I love it.











This spider that you see, a Tarantula mind you, was at Hilltop park. I know nothing about Tarantulas. All I know is that a Tarantula spider was in the movie Home Alone. The odds of seeing a spider like this at a park should be very low. But we saw it...and flipped out hah. Anyways...they're pretty damn big.
















too bad i couldn't even focus on the damn thing...










This is a sequence of batter hitting ball, and pitcher scared of ball.




















and this is just beautiful....

Windansea


I went to Big Rock at Windansea to take some shots of the coast. I wanted to get some sunset shots but I arrived much too early. I forgot that it doesn't get dark til about 8pm. But I still messed around with my camera. I don't fully understand all the buttons just yet...but im learning. I saw a lot of nice rides by the locals...the surf was up...and i wish i woulda paddled out.




500 days of summer


I heard this was an amazing movie. I heard it was "Garden State-ish." It's an indy though so it won't play at any theatre...but hopefully i get a chance to check it out this week.
