Sorry for the hiatus. I’ve been stupid and self-doubting or maybe smart and self doubting. And I’ve been sick. Anyway, while my hard drive is restoring from backup, I thought I’d share a few of the week’s lesser failures. Actually, looking at the pix, they’re not that bad. Lighting in clubs is just impossible unless you bring your own. <br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/hiatus/1194/0001.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br />I shot these all last wednesday, at Kamp’s deli. It turns into the latest and greatest OKC dance club on wednesday nights. It might be there more often, but I really don’t know. It was actually really fun, there was a good spread of music and a good spread of people. Lots of photographers, although I was the only one not using flash. <br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/hiatus/1194/0002.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br />I’m not leaving out the captions out of laziness or unremembered details, but I really think these don’t need anything to explain them.<br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/hiatus/1194/0003.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/hiatus/1194/0004.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/hiatus/1194/0005.jpg” alt=”Photos” />

and because it’s her birthday, and because, well, what are friends for? I’m posting yet another huge batch of photos to flickr. This time though, I’m going to be smart and only post highlights here and if you want to see the whole set you can head over there <a href=”http://www.flickr.com/photos/photomattmills/sets/72157617411519820/show/“>by clicking this finely crafted link</a>.<br /><br />Sometimes I find that I know I have enough good pictures of something and yet I’m still shooting, something is knawing at me to keep going, and I don’t really know why. On an “on” night, this means I come away with quite a lot of good stuff. This shoot was about 5% that I liked, and maybe as high as 20% that weren’t crap, even by my standards. In a small party, that means a lot of pictures of the same people, and yet some people get missed, too. Sorry if I missed you. <br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/because_i’m_a_sucker_for_a_pretty_lady/1196/0001.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/because_i’m_a_sucker_for_a_pretty_lady/1196/0002.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/because_i’m_a_sucker_for_a_pretty_lady/1196/0003.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/because_i’m_a_sucker_for_a_pretty_lady/1196/0004.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/because_i’m_a_sucker_for_a_pretty_lady/1196/0005.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/because_i’m_a_sucker_for_a_pretty_lady/1196/0006.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/because_i’m_a_sucker_for_a_pretty_lady/1196/0007.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/because_i’m_a_sucker_for_a_pretty_lady/1196/0008.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/because_i’m_a_sucker_for_a_pretty_lady/1196/0009.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/because_i’m_a_sucker_for_a_pretty_lady/1196/0010.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/because_i’m_a_sucker_for_a_pretty_lady/1196/0011.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/because_i’m_a_sucker_for_a_pretty_lady/1196/0012.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/because_i’m_a_sucker_for_a_pretty_lady/1196/0013.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/because_i’m_a_sucker_for_a_pretty_lady/1196/0014.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/because_i’m_a_sucker_for_a_pretty_lady/1196/0015.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/because_i’m_a_sucker_for_a_pretty_lady/1196/0016.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/because_i’m_a_sucker_for_a_pretty_lady/1196/0017.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/because_i’m_a_sucker_for_a_pretty_lady/1196/0018.jpg” alt=”Photos” />

This is the 200th post here, and to celebrate, I’m being lazy and trying flickr’s embedded slideshows. These are all from norman music fest, taken yesterday. Sorry it’s flash. <br /><br /><object width=”750” height=”560”> <param name=”flashvars” value=”offsite=true&lang=en-us&page_show_url=%2Fphotos%2Fphotomattmills%2Fsets%2F72157617360997934%2Fshow%2F&page_show_back_url=%2Fphotos%2Fphotomattmills%2Fsets%2F72157617360997934%2F&set_id=72157617360997934&jump_to=”></param> <param name=”movie” value=”http://www.flickr.com/apps/slideshow/show.swf?v=70933”></param> <param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”></param><embed type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” src=”http://www.flickr.com/apps/slideshow/show.swf?v=70933” allowFullScreen=”true” flashvars=”offsite=true&lang=en-us&page_show_url=%2Fphotos%2Fphotomattmills%2Fsets%2F72157617360997934%2Fshow%2F&page_show_back_url=%2Fphotos%2Fphotomattmills%2Fsets%2F72157617360997934%2F&set_id=72157617360997934&jump_to=” width=”750” height=”560”></embed></object>

In anticipation of a monster weekend (Norman music fest tomorrow, arts fest tonight if I can get my ass in gear), I had to clear off the card in the camera, and because I love you all so much, I’m sharing. <br /><br /><span class=”caption” >No matter what I do to this tree in Lightroom, it’s still just a tree. I still kinda like it though.</span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/clearing_off_the_card…/1198/0001.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” >Polo.</span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/clearing_off_the_card…/1198/0002.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” >Cookout after polo. seriously good burgers and salsa at the Murray’s house.
