peach trees and grafitti

The Peach Tree by the N-Train, 2008 © Jane Tam

I have been taking a break lately since graduation and have not gone near a camera or my hard-drives. It feels a little odd but I’ve realized it’s a necessary break. Being so enraptured into my work, I often have the problem of not stepping back and not thinking the reasons behind the actions. Looking through my portfolio, I find new meanings and have thought of new possibilities. It’s getting me to love the work more.

Growing up I never realized the numerous amounts of peach trees in a 5 block radius of my house. There’s three other trees on my block alone. All this greenery… and especially a fruit that one doesnt associate with Brooklyn.. is sometimes surprising to me..

I really want a 4×5 field camera.

cosy in the rocket

September 2nd, 2006

oh, what a disaster. With our luck, we managed to get to the State Fair and whilst setting up the 4×5 camera, the groundglass falls onto the ground breaking into a million pieces. A great “oooooohhhh” and “awwwwwww” was echoed as people who walked by saw the accident. Great, now we don’t have a camera to use. “Luckily” we went with another group who had their’s and things should be okay. We won’t know for sure until we process the film (another scary task).

Now I’ll have a great sad story to tell and it can be added to the many things I’ve “broken” this year.

Things happen but you’d never think it’ll happen to you.

The bunnies, pigs, ducks, and cows cheered me up though..

Maybe it was more logical to have stayed on main campus rather than move to South campus apartments because now I’m stuck in party central. My window overlooks the back of other people’s apartments and well.. they spill out into the garden/grass and their drunken hollers echo.

I’m getting very annoyed with the small circle and really need to expand. What bad karma I have this year.
