Roll 15: There's No Place Like Home

R15 Do this dont do that - cant you read the siiiiiign, originally uploaded by shaunwilliamcallahan.

I went down to my home city of Tucson, AZ for 10 days for a cheap vacashaun and to see a friend ive know since before he could walk get married.

While in the (520) i found my self reconnecting with old friends and new more than i ever would have expected. sooo much that i kept forgetting to pull out my camera. (special mention to all the stupid cars that kept getting in the way of great shots i missed... jerks)

what i'll never forget is the great times i had with my parents and the great people i hope to keep connected with for the rest of my life...

ill always have times to get more pictures there later (look for a few shots to be in Roll 16 which is not quite finished yet)

520 Vacashaun

or vacation rather...


sooo im in tucson,az till the 13th (my birth city). it has been a year and a few months since ive been here. it feels like its been a decade. i forgot how brown it is flying in over the multi level mansions in the mountains and the double wide mobile homes with above ground pools.

at first glance i cant imagine how i once called this place home.

until i saw my mom at the airport.
then my dad when we got home
ive missed my parents soo much its ridiculous
annnnd my cat max haha

oh annnnd damn i forgot i know some great people here. last night i got to catch up with a few of my favorites Hank, Corybike, Mark, Sabrina , GRILL's Karlin and Sabrina...

soooo many more greats i have to try and connect with and somehow trick to come back to seattle with me.

anyway. time to make brunch and watch some football with my padre and then go hunt down some film for my Canon AE-1.

much love interwebs,

Roll 14: More Than A Couple of Days

R14 Boy Girl Boy Girl, originally uploaded by shaunwilliamcallahan.

Not really sure what to say..... Sooo many things have happened in the last few months. This roll was taken right at the beginning of some of these epic changes in my life..

New friends, new adventures, friendships growing/fading. some crazy life changing. Also days upon days of absolutely nothing happening and me loving it/ hating it haha.

Either way i finally got enough guts and cash set aside to pick this roll up and myself off the couch (metaphorically, since i dont have a couch haha) to get it developed and edited..

lets hope Roll 15 doesnt take as long. xo

Roll 12: Momentary Loss of FOCUS

R12 I'm Losing Focus 2 HEAVY EDIT, originally uploaded by shaunwilliamcallahan.

This was a bit of a tough roll. Nose surgery (again), a couple punches to the ego, lack of inspirashaun and focus caused me to lose a few shots to poor picture takin and also just not wanting to shoot.

BUT!!! Focus is back now inspiration is on HIGH!! I'm about 7 shots into Roll 13. So please enjoy what I was able to squeeze and edit out of this roll and stick around for my next coming soon

for once.. PERFECT TIMING

ive never had the best luck on timing.
(i dont feel like diving into details)

yet could go way back to the monkey bar days if i had too...

anyway.

right as i was about to go to bed after having a really miserable day
and not feeling so great about some other lil life things...
a friend messaged me with this link.

http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/mis/1219860340.html

"God. Damn. It.

I have the biggest effing crush on you. You're the cutest, most hilarious, creative boy I've seen in a long time. And you don't even know I exist.

I just want to get to know you - without seeming like a total creeper."


whoever you are you had perfect timing.
ive never got a missed connection before.

Open Letter to White Male Cab Drivers in Seattle

you guys are the best... especially yall in the Yellow Cabs.

i haven't had too many bitter solo cabs rides back to Capitol Hill... or from there either. but when i do you guys are always there like an older brother or father to let me vent about fucked up shit and or boost my self esteem when its in jeopardy... this particular instant is in no way related to my last two entries so that we are clear. different characters in my screen play entirely ((for those who are keeping track haha))

now granted i said "white" this does not mean all other male cab driver suck. completely the opposite. they just provide a different service heh. i will never forget the cab ride home from the mansion where the cab driver himself ranted about "bitches" and gettin his dick sucked... then proceeded to sing along to BoyzIIMen on his radio while i laughed hysterically in the back and eventually began to sing along with him when Blackstreet came on... true story.

anyway... to bring it back to focus. all my intentions were honorable last night (which in said company admitingly has sometimes not been the case) and i ended up gettin burned. damn.. really felt like sophomore year all over again ((flashback humor)) and the cab guy totally came through and perked me up enough to continue the night.... though he should have taken me back to my apartment. ha.

thanks white male cab drivers in seattle. keep up the good work.

winkz.

that last one

was silly.
i felt sooo relaxed yesterday.
great breakfast/walk and catch ups with Carly
and one of my favourites, Moochie, called me from AZ
and we talked for about an hour. love her.
then greens and beach all day with Annie Laurie and rotating guests.
followed up by bloody marys at Honors family mansion
and an awkward walk (of shame) home in just AA swimtrunks haha
(old men kept giving me look backs in there sedans and sports cars)

anyway... its a new day

fin.

Dont speak.... i know.

that went a bit too easy...
like i literally stopped her from talkin and completed the monologue for her hahaha...
honestly. she's a great girl...
and we gonna be great either way

i knew what i was gettin into.
she just didnt realize i knew .

as it always is...
time just aint on our side.

"this too shall pass"

neeeeeeext

hand half shaped as a heart. if you ever see this.
he'll be lucky when he finds you
