More photography!

Hey guys, just got some of my photos back from the lab. I finally get to use my recently bought vintage cameras, such as the Fujica Half frame camera and the Argus C3 rangefinder. Go check them out at Flickr,

The Dugout Comicbook Store

So for the past two days I've been helping my buddy Ray fix up his comicbook store, The Dugout, in Brooklyn. Last week he found out from his boss that he's been promoted to Full-time manager and future co-owner to the store. It's a move made by the boss to try to save it from closing in a few months. Ray is given full privileges to shape the store up in any way he wants. The store's main product is its sports cards and memorabilia, but a lot of stuff have been put into back stock and a lot of it hasn't been sold. What Ray's going to do now is put up a big sale for most of the items in the store and try to increase the stock of comic books and graphic novels.

Here is the sale that is going on now:

The Dugout is one of two comic book stores in Cobble Hill, and the only one that's been there for over two decades. I've visited Ray while he was working there for over three years now and it's a great place to hang out. Like most comic book geeks, Ray knows a lot about comic books. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of everything from Ant-Man to Zoltar. Ray's also super friendly and funny, so if you get to speak to him, you can see his personality just shine through like a freaking rainbow.

From time to time, I'll be hanging out at the store with Ray and joke about. In the future, I'll be selling Issue 1 of Rotten Sandwich and hopefully Issue 2 (when it's finally printed) at the store. I'll also be selling some artwork there as well. So drop by if you would like to catch me or Ray.

Store Location:

453 Court Street

(Between 4th & Luquer Street.)

Bug + Bike

I recently got a bicycle from a rummage sale and I had it repaired last week. When I picked it up and rode it home, I busted my left arm after being propelled by a bump in the road and braking too late. I rode it around my neighborhood again today and feeling a little bit confident. I need to practice because I want to be able to ride it in the city more comfortably.

I've got a bell for it and everything. It's going to be an awesome summer.

I found a baby spider last night, I was in the middle of watching Lost and as I was laying on the couch, I saw it land on my stomach. It was cool for a while and then it sprung off onto the floor. Then this morning I found it in my bedroom on my computer desk. I caught it and decide to see what would happen if I dropped it off on one of my plants. Apparently, it's made itself a new home. It likes those tiny pesky white bugs that ruin your plants from the inside out. I'm happy that it's happy.

It's that tiny little thing on the upper right side of the pot. Can you tell me what kind of spider it is?

I've also been feeling a little sick this past two days. I don't know how or why, but I'm stuffy and runny with a fever and cough... I hope I get better before this weekend's shoot. *sigh*

What's going on?

Hey blog world, here are some photos I took during my break from blogging.

This is by Citifield in Flushing, it's an empty lot that's being worked on right now. It's been vacant for years and now they're turning it into something... probably a mall or public housing. Who knows...

This is some kind of mineral refinery... Apparently it's open to the public to go and look through.

This was taken in April, it's one of those pillow fights arranged by some facebook group.

More photos to come! I'm working on a post for Monday. See you then and have a great weekend!
