I was supposed to meet Vanessa today in Lowell. It was my first experience on an MVRTA bus, and it was a positive experience. However, when I got to Lowell, Vanessa was nowhere to be found. What gives? I still don't know since she hasn't called or anything. So it was a bit of a waste of the day. But while waiting for a return bus, I witnessed and photographed a small fight and the arrest of a drunken couple. The guy somehow got into a fight with an idiotic high school kid and pulled a knife on him. Then, for some reason, his girlfriend joined the fight and punched the kid in the face (the couple were in their 30's I'd say). The cops arrived and arrested this crazy couple (he was charged with assault with a knife and she was charged with assault and battery). Someone tried to stop me from taking pictures (presumably in case the high school kid decided to fight back..eliminate the evidence). Lowell is a weird place.

Two more pictures scanned.

I haven't updated in a while, but here is a picture I took tonight as part of my self portrait project for class. (the end result will be different...) I'll scan some more recent stuff later. The last time I was in the darkroom, I forgot to check out a graduate, so I used my trusty EMS mug to measure the developer. Well, I just drank out of it (after rinsing it out, of course), and I don't feel any ill effects yet. But just in case I die soon, it was probably the developer....unless I get hit by a bus.
