Blog a la Cart

Our friends from Darlingside came to crash at our neighbors’ farm this past week for a song writing session, and so I decided to voyeuristically photograph the group under cover of darkness. But, in classic ADD fashion, I lost interest in the group and the evening progressed as follows:

1. Man, I’m going to snag some totally candid shots of these guys. They’re gonna be like “Whoa! Where did these photos come from??” and I’ll be like “I came up to the barn one night and started taking pictures under cover of darkness.” And then they’ll be like. “Cool…I guess. Creepy…yeah, I’m not sure if we’re really ok with that” and then, ignoring their concern, I’ll be like “Yeah, I was going to photograph you while you slept, and then come inside and…”

Man… That really is a pretty awesome barn. I should take a photo of that. Good thing I have my camera with me.

2. I mean really – isn’t it pretty? I wonder who designed it? I bet I could ask someone. What would it look like from over next to the pool? Oh, this is what it would look like! So glad I walked over here. I’m a good walker.

3. Maybe I should walk somewhere else since I’m so good at it. Like over there — “WAIT!! LOOK!! Shiny sky and blinking lights!” ….Wow. Now I feel awkward because I’m alone and I just shouted “WAIT!! LOOK!!” … I should get away from the barn, and see if I can capture those lights shooting into the heart of Williamstown. I’ll get a better shot down there… They kind of look like alien lights. Aliens are awesome. Maybe Williamstown is full of  aliens and that’s why Williams professors are so smart – ’cause they’re Aliens. I wonder where Sigourney Weaver is right now. I should take a photo.

4. When did Sigourney shave her head? Was it the 2nd Aliens or the 3rd?…I’m a little freaked out right now. Better turn around and make sure I’m safe…Man, there’s that barn again. How awesome is that? How lucky is it that I have my camera with me? Pretty lucky.

5. I didn’t even realize there was a whole house right next to the barn! I wonder if I can get them in the same frame?

6. Nice. I got them in the same frame! Look how big that sky is…look at all those stars…there could be aliens anywhere out there. ANYWHERE. Even on the moon….Man, the moon kind of looks like a spaceship. Or God. WHOA am I about to take a picture of God?? Quick, better get the shot before he disappears!

What if God or aliens don’t like having their photo taken…I didn’t get a signed release from either of them. I wouldn’t want them to be mad at me…better go home where I’ll be safe. Ashley will protect me.
