All Narfed Up photography and words by Bryan Villarin

Hey man, thanks right back at ya! I’ve really enjoyed seeing your photography evolve, and I’m super-stoked to have you as part of the community.

When are we gonna go walk again? I’m feeling the need to head north and visit some beach towns outside of SD.

@ Brian Auer:

I’d be down for either this weekend or the weekend of August 16th. (I’m going to Vegas again next weekend for a friend’s birthday.) I’ve got more free weekends after that, of course.

P.S. If you want, I’ll meet you somewhere in between LA and SD. Either way, I’m down.

This weekend’s out for me. Not sure about the 16th. Hey, are you doing any of the photowalks on the 23rd (for that whole Scott Kelby thing that’s going down)?

@ Brian Auer:

Okay. Um, no. I’m a bit turned off by it.

Wow, that photowalk from Santa Monica is like the pictures I would take. If I keep up, I might do as well. I just feel so hassled lugging around a camera with me all day. Wish we could have something where it compacts it to the size of a phone then uncompacts it when I need it

Let’s do the 16th then! I’ll have Candice sign off from work so I can go play all day.

@ Brian Auer:

Cool beans. Now it’s on my calendar. All we need to do is figure out where to go.

hmmm… There’s Newport Beach, Seal Beach, Sunset Beach, Long Beach, Venice Beach, Santa Monica, Malibu Beach, etc. Unless you don’t want to do a beach town. We could go inland too, but I was just thinking about getting some more material for my “beach town culture” documentary project.

@ Brian Auer:

It’s cool. I rarely go to the beach and you might as well take advantage of your time.

How about Newport Beach, then Balboa Island for a bit?

Sounds like a plan!

@bryan

you should really write a post about jumping in pre-DSLR. I think a lot of people stand off and don’t get involved in the art side of photography because they feel limited by their camera.

@ Chris Marsden:

Thanks for the idea, Chris. I hope you’re not referring to yourself.

I’ll have that done by the end of next week.

*gasp* A deadline? What am I getting myself into?
