Hiiiiiiiii,

I found this entry through mac_cosmetics. C-Squeeze = love!!!

Aaaanywho, I live in NYC, grew up in the area. Comment in my journal about stuff you like to do and I'll do my best to help you out. :)

yeah i love it. cant wait for rebel rock now too.

well mostly looking for artsy areas/buildings good for pictures i guess. im just trying to get away from all the touristy photos.

Ok, I recommend going to the Flatiron Building (take the N,R,W to 23rd Street. You'll literally get out right at the base of it...plus there is a freestanding MAC store on the bottom of the building AND the Pro store is just down 5th Avenue...like 2 minutes away ( ... )

woah you are awesome. that was a hell of a lot of information. MAC PRO STORE? you read my mind haha. hopefully ill have time to check some of those places out. thanks =)

Great restaurant on St. Marks Place. So yummy. Looks like a dump but it's cheap and so delicous! (there's also one around Broadway that's a little bit nicer but I love St. Mark's)

My friends a photographer and she likes this camera store called B&H. I think it's on 34th next to Madison Square Gardan. Also the best shops are in Soho but not on Broadway. Go of on the side streets there are the cuteist botiques.

ediktid July 11 2005, 17:46:32 UTC

yeah ill definitely be going to B&H! lol thanks =)

lol just thought I'd mention it people go crazy there. I should know where else to send you. I've been doing this touresty thing with alot of people lately. hmm you can walk around downtown by South Street Seaport. There are some really nice areas to photograph.

ediktid July 12 2005, 17:40:30 UTC

Hey, I'm in the MAC community and used to live in the West Village. I looove Chinatown and it's the best place to take pics with a fish eye lens because I love the way the colors distort and what not (I'm a major photog. buff too) except you gotta be careful because the vendors can get pretty anal about pics since they're selling fake stuff ( ... )

ediktid July 12 2005, 17:44:19 UTC

wow, thanks! i dont have a fish eye anymore, unfortunately. =( but i do have a wide angle..12mm to be exact so it should work great w/ my 35mm camera.
ahh yes china town, that will be fun. Thompson sounds cool as well. awesome. thanks again =)

Try Kodak Ektachrome E100S.

Re: Cross Processing ediktid July 12 2005, 17:46:03 UTC

i just bought fujichrome sensia this afternoon. thats what they recommended. i think i used the kodak last time and it didnt work, all my photos turned into negative images. i was pissed.
