Roll 17: Flashbacks & Flashes

Variashauns on a Theme R17, originally uploaded by shaunwilliamcallahan.

A lot of heart and headaches went into this roll.

The heart came from 2 recipes and 4 pies. 2 which were delicious and 2 of which were edible haha. In a short period of time I've unfortunately lost the only blood related grandmas I had left. With the help of family and a few pointers from friends I came up with a recipe that reminded me of the Pecan Pies they made in my younger years.

On a lighter note the headaches were actually self induced haha. As stated in some other rolls I always seem to be in a battle with light and exposure. So I blew the dust of my old sunpack flash and read up on its original 80s manual and went to work. With no autofocus it took a lil practice and some measuring (and some shaving of my Novembeard.com) to get the shots in focus and fun.

I saw spots for over an hour after (while eating said delicious pie), but I'm glad finally attacked the flash which should open my options a bit more on these dark winter nights in this city I love.

thanks as always for the comments, views, favorites and reading of my rambles.

Roll 16: No Directshaun Home

Seattle Active Construction Zone V R16, originally uploaded by shaunwilliamcallahan.

A split roll of some of my old home Tucson and my current home Seattle. 16 was tough because it was 200 speed film and I kept finding myself in low light situations. But I stuck with and chased the sun and found some shots I was pretty pleased with.

And as stated in Roll 15 I loved being Tucson and will visit it always, but Seattle is home now with the good the bad and the ugly (and sometimes down right sexy).

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)

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.
