What it was/wasn't

Composed for a different site, but I figured why-the-heck-not, I havent seen any 2010 compo reports, but hopefully no one minds. Some have links to the full set underneath

-My Year-

I will not begin by saying this year was epic. No, it was not. It wasn't grand, death-defying, stupendous, or titillating. Ok maybe it was titillating at moments. It were no map-sprawling, jet-set expeditions to the far corners of the earth. In fact 90% of it was in my own backyard so to speak unless convenience arose. Some acquaintances were made, many not, lists created, noncommittal plans made, and very few locations scratched off said list.

It DID had moments of mild (mild) insanity, where intrigue and adventure ran hot in our veins. Fences were hopped and pictures were snapped, while hours whiled away in the name of a manic obsession. We talked about real-life oddities, bit depth and crop factors, industry, shitty movies, overpopulation, and of course, conspiracy. And chodes. It ebbed, it flowed, it came in spades, it came undone. Everything shines a little brighter in retrospect, but I've checked the facts and reminded myself of how it really went down. Maybe a year doesn't need to be prolific and voluminous in order to be epic in its own way? Maybe I'm selling myself short

Norlytho, nothing makes sense until you put it in perspective. Everything is relative to us, and to our expectations. What did I expect? I'm not sure. But I'm pretty satisfied with what I got.

I'll keep it brief, some film, some digi, in chronological order

Cairo, Egypt

Well thats pretty much the skinny of it, hope you enjoyed. I'm sure I missed something or three

damn cairo? thats cool. Nice shots

Nice, looks like you saw some pretty cool places! I actually have a scan of the slide you're holding up in photo five.

I'll just note here that I am totally green with envy

Interesting, you can see a lot of detail in your scan, Vacant.

And thanks for comments guys, I'll post something in the International board when I finally get the Cairo set up. That place was sweet

Oops and I just realized that none of the flickr links work. Each picture represents its own location, so if you wanna see more from there let me know and I'll put fixed links up

i would like to see more, at your convenience of course
