I've been waiting for the Hasselblad to come in the mail for the past 2 weeks, it was slow because of the holidays, and I was super anxious waiting for it, I would wait for the mailman everyday. I was supposed to fly back to Vancouver today, I get to the airport, my parents drop me off... then an hour later they tell me my flight is cancelled due to mechanical problems, and that they will have to give me the next available flight... which is tomorrow because all of the flights today were full. So much hassle.
I didn't think the Hasselblad would come before I left, I was bummed out, because my parents would have to re-ship it to me in Vancouver, and I hate waiting for stuff in the mail... but as I was leaving to go to the airport, I opened the front door to load my bags into the van, and the package was sitting right on the front step. Perfect timing. I couldn't believe it.
Went over to Erika's last night, we got loose for Morgan Smith's birthday, I got him a Gucci Mane cd, he's stoked on it. Jamal and Dustin T-M even came out, it was a fun night!
It's my roommate Will Durie's birthday today as well as homie Jamie Walker, and on top of that New Years is tonight, I was so stoked to get back and party, but of course I can't get back until tomorrow, bummer.
I have lots of cellphone pics from over the holidays that I'm too lazy to upload right now, I'll post them up soon.
I went back to Ontario yesterday to see family for the holidays. I only brought my digital with me (and cellphone, if you're into those photos, haha) Erika gets back from Cuba in a few days, so I'll get to see her soon... I haven't seen her in one year! Also found out yesterday that my one dog Bailey is deaf, he wasn't the last time I saw him, so it's not the same around him now, if his eyes are closed you could yell and he wouldn't even know. I have been on a spending spree lately, here is what I have bought:
From Patrick Driscoll: Quantum Q-Flash T2 with Turbo battery, charger and household to miniphone cord
From Eric Thompson: Hasselblad PM5 45 degree prism 5 rolls of Ilford Delta 100 (120)
From Zander Taketomo: Quantum Turbo battery with charger
From Mat Levine: Hasselblad 500cm (chrome) including wlf, 150mm CFT, 80mm CFT, a12 (x2), a16, all caps and 1 roll of velvia 50
Went downtown today with the homies to shoot something legendary, but it was super windy and cold, so nothing happened, we'll go back soon. Here's a photo from a while back that never got used for anything:
Once again I have been slacking on updating the website, sorry. I moved out on the first. I'm living with Kyu Tae Kim, Will Durie, Clayton Uhlig, Ryan Smith, and the dog Chico. Got everything into my room now, and I've been organizing everything. Then as soon as I go on the internet the power fuse blows, so I had no heat and no anything for the second night, landlord is the only one with a key to the fuse box, so I had to wait until today to get it sorted out. Been snowboarding twice so far (Seymour), and I'm stoked that I'm not injured this year and can actually ride. I'm going to Ontario to see family for Christmas from the 14th-31st. I'll post some cell phone photos soon.
