PHOTO GOON: BROOKS FRITZ

I literally have +40 rolls of medium format film that needs to be scanned. Let alone the 30+ rolls of 35mm. Pretty much I’m a dumb ass. I love shooting film, especially 120 but it gets exspensive and I don’t own a scanner. So I have just been building up this stock pile of film. Pretty stupid right? It is. But at the same time it’s not. So the other day I figured it out and borrowed my dad’s flatbed scanner that has a mount for scanning film. And now what? I’m finding photo’s I completely forgot about. And that for me was one of the main reason to start taking photos. Photos only get better with age. And sometimes what you think might be garbage actually becomes a priceless possession. Now don’t get me wrong. I’m not putting down digital. I’m just saying there is something really special about being able to hold and feel film.. And if you don’t know what that’s  like because you only know compact flash cards then I recommend a disposable camera. Or a Holga. You cant imagine how much fun the basics are. Or maybe you do and all I am doing is flapping.

Hey Joto! Your popsicle’s melting! Jamie Weller tail slides in a pool at the Salton Sea. Rumors are this thing will be buried at the end of the year. Go get it….

My dog Ollie. Way cooler then Meaty. All that dog has done is bring me a crowd of lame kids. Guess what? No she doesn’t skateboard.

You cant try to make this shit up. It just happens.

This is me and my daughter Brooklyn. Yup, I jumped on the bandwagon and made a wizard stick. It’s actually quite fun. Look how proud she is of her pile of a father and his drinking.

Have a good week. Make a wizard stick. Shoot film. Go skate. Go fish. Go to bed.
