Martin Cole
Martin Cole,
You are such a great friend, and made my life richer.
You taught me to skateboard, and oh how I loved that! You introduced me to strange Brit Rock, which I still love today. I remember when we were both passengers in the same car, we would entertain ourselves by making sound effects, sometimes for hours on end. I remember the times you came camping with us, We scared the wits out of your mother one night, by touching her leg with a stick under the picnic table. (My Mom and Your's had just seen a family of raccoons scurry across the campsite, and that had put them on edge. Perfect timing!) I remember when you moved from Blackburn Place to Blackburn Road, 2 blocks away, how sad I was that you wouldn't be across the street anymore! But then I realized your driveway had a hill, and that would be perfect for the quarter pipe skate ramp you had gotten. I remember listening to Adam Ant in your basement.
When you moved back to Scotland, I missed you. When you came back to the states in 1991 or 1992 to take a road trip across America, I was so excited. I loved that van you got, and I still have the stowaway breakfast table from that van. It was so fun to have you back in town for a while, and then great stories about your road trip.
I wish I had known you longer, and as you grew older. I always recognized you right away in any picture that your mom passed to my mom. I would hear little tidbits about where you were living, that you were making records, and I was happy for you. I was very happy to hear that you have a son, Casper. Who I assume will be even cooler than you, if that is possible. I never met your wife, but I am sure I would love her.
Now that you are no longer walking the earth, I know that you can feel my love and admiration easily. Across whatever distance separates us. I hope Casper will know that he will always have a friend in America. A friend that his Father knew.
A friend named Jeff Boyce.

EXPLORED April 14, 2009 #1
Just got back from Washington DC. DC's subway was pretty cool looking, and as you can see from this shot, empty too. I felt very safe here :-) I'll be putting up more pics here and there. I have a lot of catching up to do on Flickr, lots of awesome photos to look at and emails to get to. Hope you all had a great Easter weekend!

Rosie and I are together again! She flew in late Friday night after a series of messed up flights - damn airlines need to refund the hours of together-time that have stripped from us!! But we are here now and are having so much fun. You can see some candids from a hike we went on with my dad on our blog, taken with my new 70-200 2.8is lens!

'And even though they know your name, they don't know.'
'And even though they know your name, they don't know.', originally uploaded by tetheredto.
It's strange that old friends of mine write stories on the internet. I've never really thought about it, which sounds strange coming out of my fingers since I write stories on the internet literally every day.
I find myself weighing what in their sentences is mythmaking and what is mythmaking in reverse. I feel complimented and staged, shocked laughable and obvious when I see my own self in their narrative, even on the fringe, behind the curtain, behind the shutter even, or behind the sheets.
I am a wet down comforter sagging the clothes line in the morning. I am unfolding my skin for you as we speak. This is my voice you are reading, I am actually saying this out loud.
I have hot vocal chords; they get practice telling these tales. I make up all kinds of things because what I don't (what is truth, what is untouchable) is what is most flexible.

These kinds of photos always make me want to buy a water housing for my camera. Anyone want to lend me $ 2,299.95 for a housing? You can buy it for me here: Aquatica D200 Housing

Follow my road (365/328)
Follow my road (365/328) by JenniPenni.
A man was walking to my direction, so why not snap a photo and run to the opposite direction (if you're scared of people like me...ha ha).
I am feeling so depressed. I will wither away if I don't get accepted to any schools this year. All the admission tests that I'd like to attend to go on top of each other, which means I have to cut out most of them and apply to just a couple of places. Last year I was so damn close to being accepted to photography that the thought of it still makes me laugh/cry hysterically. If I don't make it this year after having spent such a pointless year altogether, I don't know what will follow in terms of my sanity. I'm so scared of another year like this. Once you get used to doing nothing, it becomes hard to do anything.

30/365 through the ether, not despairing
30/365 through the ether, not despairing by cakeybabes.
Feel the mattress tense beneath me
Like the muscle of non-sleepy
Feathers flexing will defeat me
And it vexes me completely

Every winner has scars (365/305)
Every winner has scars (365/305)
This is probably one of my most personal photos yet. The scar is real, however it is healed to skin color by now which means the stitches are photoshopped. This is what it looked like a few years ago, and I cried every time I saw it.
I had an accident at the age of twelve. I was on the top of our new ladders because I liked what kids like to do, to climb on things. Somehow I got an electric shock, a proper one. I saw the electricity going through all over my body and was screaming at the top of my lungs, but couldn't hear my own voice. I thought I would be trapped to that state forever, shaking uncontrollably and trying my best to pull myself off from the ladders that the electricity had me stuck in. I don't know how long that moment lasted in real life, but for me it felt like forever and I can still remember it like yesterday.
I woke up when my mom found me and tried to lift me from the ground. I had fell from the ladders, I was puking blood and knew my body wasn't right when she took me inside and called the ambulance. I spent a couple of weeks at the hospital. My back was in pieces, and at one point it was even questioned if I would ever walk again. It took a couple of years before I was alright, and during that time there wasn't a day when I didn't think that in a way one part of my life was over. That thought seems very absurd right now, but I was young and it was a lot to handle for someone that age. I had to wear one of those corsets/braces that scoliocis patiens have to wear for half a year and that felt really difficult and embarrassing since it was quite visible for other people as well, but I did my best to hide it with baggy clothes. I didn't want to talk about any of this with anyone and I didn't want anyone to know about it. I wasn't allowed to get out of bed without the brace corset, and when I finally got it off it felt strange for a long time to walk without it, I was worried I was gonna just....break...at any minute.
I had some pieces installed inside my back to keep it together and after a few years they were to be taken out. Which meant another surgery, but I was happy to get rid of them, because I felt like a robot with them. Big pieces of metal stucking from the inside surface of your back, I hated them and was happy to go to another surgery even if it meant the nasty thought of re-opening the scar.
But here I am, and I don't mind my scar anymore. It's quite big, and not that pretty, but I'm glad to say I don't mind it. After all these years I'm kind of happy about this too. I have known ever since how fleeting everything can be and try not to take anything for granted. Well, that's what they always say, huh? Of course I do still take lots of things for granted, but I also realize to appreciate things.
Sometimes I still get that feeling I had back then during those couple of years...about friends. If you have friends, nothing can break you. I don't know what I would have done without my friends.
Yup, that's it for now :-)
