When I was in the city



Originally uploaded by tanalee.
I needed to wear my long blond wig for a shoot. It seemed as if all the fellows of a darker complexion suddenly noticed my existence. It was flattering but annoying. Given that sort of reality, I'm a little weird about the blond. I was doing some tests in the new studio with the fro and the long blond wig.

I went to a barbecue

on Saturday at Cindy Santalone's house in Sag Harbor. She has really good taste so I took some shots of the pretty things that she posesses. Even though the style can be a bit fussy, I really like the rococo design on display here.

For more pics from the party, click on the image. That'll bring you to my flickr account.

I do nightclub photography on the weekends

Friday I was at Jet East, a club popular with sharehouse people. The crowd can be beyond heartless. They're drunk, often on drugs. In this state many think nothing of being flat out abusive. This bartender looked like I felt.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to complain

How very unlike me. I avoid going to the beach (the ocean) because of the people I often find there. I love the water, love the waves. I have a good time until someone starts in with me and then I leave all pissed. Today was no exception.

I'm swimming having a good time after I decided to take some pictures of the surfers. Some blond girl a few years younger than I comes up to me.

I dread this. People always ask "what are you shooting for?"

I didn't hear her. I answered "myself".

She says, all attitude "You're taking pictures of yourself?!"

My camera is pointed forward.

So she goes into who am I shooting and why am I shooting and what am I doing? All this.

Then she goes, "Could you not take pictures?"

I'm saying: "I didn't even take a picture of you."

She turns away in her little bikini. So I yell:

"Whatever!"

Then she takes her flabby boyfriend's boogie board. Starts putting her annoying self right in front of me and my camera.

I was livid and I'm still pissed.

I believe that she started in with me because she saw that I was happy and because I took a picture of everyone around me except her. If I had it [the picture] I would have saved it just to post it here.

The twins wouldn't get together for me

The event was a housewarming party for a coworker of Garrett's.

Though I wasn't hired to shoot the event or anything, I compulsively took a lot of pictures.

The wienerhund just stood there for the longest time

I was trying to get rid of the chairs through freecycle. I put a link to the blog in my post and my post was removed. Apparently my blog is R rated. Did you know that?

I want to put these chairs up for adoption

They are very nice but I've never really used them and now they're just taking up space in my new "photographic studio". I hope someone will come and get them. Also, they swivel!

Hi, I'm really, really horny

The talent section of craigslist has been overrun with guys asking for nude women as usual. Longtime readers of the blog, know this raises my ire for whatever reason. This is what I posted:

Hi, I'm really, really horny

and I'm tired of jerking off to internet porn, magazine porn and porn on my television. Tonight I would like to be a photographer and take some nude/topless pics of a live nude woman here in my apartment.

Me: So horny
You: be really comfortable nude (you have to love it that's how it is in my porn that I love so well)

If you're serious email me a pic, face AND body.

I painted most of the basement today


These cans came to me through freecycle

I'm, uh, really . . . resourceful. I figure the tri state area has got to bursting with half used cans of paint.

Think about it. Somebody paints a room, they don't use the whole can. Where does it go? The garage or something. Multiply that a couple times. The way I see it, I should NEVER have to pay for paint. Ever.

Witness a healthy collection of half used cans of paint. I've been thinking about turning the basement into a "photographic studio" even though it floods periodically.

I opened all the cans, threw them to the ground. With not a little anger/gusto. Some cans had old and clumpy paint, some had separated into strange elements of thick paint and yellowish goo.

Once that mess was on the ground, I smooshed the roller in it until the color mixed. It turned into a fresh bright yellow. I figured as long as the paints were mostly white, it would work.

You want me to what?!!!


Hulk face
Originally uploaded by tanalee.
. . . Hulk thinks skates are okay. Hulks thinks you allow strollers and wheelchairs. Hulk knows how to skate. Hulk will not sue you if Hulk falls.

Damn you, Hulk has removed skates with velcro until you're gone then they go back on again. You ruined Hulk's day.
:-(

Freecycle magically brought an old pair of

skates into my life. Do you remember those old pleather boot skates from the eighties? Those shoes are hard and crappy. I took the wheels off the pleather boot and put them on these ugly retro Steve Madden sneakers that I picked up in Island Thrift in Brentwood.

When I skate the Man tells me to take them off and then I get really pissed off. I thought the velcro would facilitate skate removal which might result in less anger.

I'm a lot like the hulk.

As you may have learned, I have a love/hate

relationship with freecycle. I got that sweet ass Praktica which I love. Yesterday, I was checking my email and this post greeted me.

DESPERATE PLEA FOR GOLF CLUBS

I just took up golf and I love it but I can't afford to keep renting clubs. If anyone has some golf clubs taking up space in their house I would really love them. Thanks for reading.

Very reasonable. So I posted:

Desperate plea for polo pony- Pleeease!

I just took up polo and I love it but I can't afford my own polo pony. If anyone has one they're not using I would love to have it. Thanks for reading.

As soon as the post went up I was reprimanded by the freecycle moderator for my "poor taste". A couple people goofed around and said it was funny. One Joan Rosenberg wrote: If you can't afford a polo pony then you can't afford polo. A polo pony is upwards of $20,000.

Another guy wrote if you get the pony I'm going to ask for $6,000. He signed his email,
Mad.
