Deftones, Koi No Yokan

The older I get, the more apprehensive I become each time I hear they're coming out with a new album... Inevitably, it takes me about one listen through for the new stuff to hook me.



Can't say I like it as fervently as Around the Fur or Adrenaline, but there's some good stuff in here (better than their last couple). I'm guessing a good part of that had to do with how old I was when I first heard those albums though, yeah? Nothing hooks you on music like hearing when you're a young, impressionable teenager.

Pool bust

These photos were from earlier this summer but I recently was just able to get my film developed. During our little drought earlier this year when we were blessed with weeks on end of great hot weather to ride bikes I had an opportunity to check out an old spot. It was the South side pool by my moms house. I scoped it out one night by myself on a solo session and realized that the hot weather had brought down the water level about 3 ft in the deep end of the pool and there was only about 3 feet left to be drained! I went back within a few days with Mac and we began to drain the pool. Unfortunately the place had been vandalized before we got there and also the neighbors ended up calling the cops on us and made for a premature end to the day and we never were able to ride the pool again. Luckily I left with new memories and some photos.... Enjoy!

Fall snaps

I drove out to the Porcupine Mountains to do some camping, exploring and photographing, but unfortunately I was plagued by camera issues, as well as auto issues.  The Jetta decided to call it quits 3 miles outside of town.  I did get a few snaps with the point and shoot, so here you get a couple of postage stamp sized shots from the only trail I got to camp at.  At least it was one of the best views in all of Michigan.
