through the windshield 1

a couple of days ago, i killed my iPhone
by dropping it in the water…
which was good, because i had
a perfect excuse to go out and get a new iPhone 3G…
:D :D :D
on top of that, i downloaded toy camera
to my new and totally awesome iPhone.

it rained and i drove around yesterday…
oh my gosh~ the toy camera application
is even better than new 3G itself…

only downside to all the excitement
was that i rear ended a car while taking a pic… :P

now my car’s in the shop pretty badly racked…
the engine wouldn’t start…
it sparked and smoked quite a bit… scared me…
thanks to that i got to stand out in the rain
while waiting for the police, ambulance, and towing truck to come…
quite a day i had…

i am bruised, sore, stiff, and miserably achy since last night,
but i’ve captured some cool toy camera shots !!!
:D

    the things you do for a photo!!!! I probably shouldn’t have laughed at your story and day but I couldn’t help it! I’m guessing this is one pretty expensive photo!

  • mimi yoon replied

    :P

    i think the insurance will take care of everything… :P i think~
    i didn’t even know how to call the police… was thinking of dialing 411(information) for the police station… until someone stopped to help and told me that i could dial 911(emergency)...

    but isn’t it a cool shot?

    oh… i didn’t tell anyone that i was taking photos… :P

    Oh Mimi! I just taking some shots while driving today myself, of the snowy mountains! Tis is a good shot, much better than my cheapo phone camera…

    Sometimes the worst and dumbest things we do make the best stories…
    We all need to remember that in these hard times…

  • mimi yoon replied

    on my gosh, mark…. please stop doing that or stop and pull over to do that… it is so not worth it… cool pics or not…
    to tell you the truth, it was very hard this morning refraining myself from pulling out the cellphone again to, yes, snap those gorgeous snowy mountain tops… :P

    Art can be dangerous it seems. Sorry about the car, glad you are ok. Interesting shot, it looks miniature. Toy camera effect?

  • mimi yoon replied

    sorry to hear about your car accident. didn’t we once discuss the dangers of shooting pictures while driving? i hope you are ok…

  • mimi yoon replied

    scott allison

    i am doing well. i have been here but just haven’t been very productive lately so i haven’t been posting… also my computer at home is finally dying and i am in the process of switcihng over to a mac mini but i cannot find my photoshop disc which means i cannot properly prepare any images even if i had them :(

    mad shot!, u should put this in “drive by shooting” group! (i know it doesn’t encourage safety but there is a group for it!!) think of the pici as just a highlight in ur accident!!

  • mimi yoon replied

    it is a treasure i managed to save from this unfortunate incident… silly, but i was thinking that since i killed my iPhone and got a better one… now i killed my car, may be i will get a better car… be careful when you do your drive by shooting… and the group thing, did it~ THANKS STEVE~

    hey… glad you are ok. sounds like a killer app on your new phone. no wonder people don’t line-up to buy the newest releases of ours. but you didn’t hear that from me. ;0)

  • mimi yoon replied

    What a crazy misadventurous day! Hope u r ok. x Great composition, Mimi. I love the round juxtaposed with the linear in this image. You could almost translate this into music as well—great eye for pattern.

  • mimi yoon replied

    i’d love to hear that music… thank you very much pagedown (i’ve searched your pages, but couldn’t find your name)... so do you think this pic’s worth the accident? :P

  • slotheory

    slotheory

    How-howing silly. ;)

    I don’t remember where my old neighborhood was either. It’s better that way. No, but next time I do, I’ll be sure to say hello… or at least snap a picture or two. =)

  • mimi yoon replied
