Don't expect: pretty sunsets: fluffy little kittens: pictures of your mamma: and other "photo-albumiums".

I plan to reshape this place soon. I'm buying a digital camera this week and I want to have a very tight focus on non-fiction, my camera, my eye. Don't expect: pretty sunsets: fluffy little kittens: pictures of your mamma: and other "photo-albumiums".
Now I know where I'm not going, but what does that mean? My focus will certainly not be on what isn't. A double negative theme sounds too, Shakerasperium. But what ____.
I've always had a soft-spot for non-fiction writing, now being the time and place of where we are, I'm fascinated with documenting it. Though it'll probably be event based, and based on community, and it'll take place in the margins. . . any other modern cliches I can use? Oh, yeah, most importantly, it'll be of the heart. Right in your fucking face.
I'm also buying another cymbal. I'm not sure if I want a new ride, or a new crash. My reason for fumbling with the issue is that the bell on my ride is a little tricky. If I'm alternating beats on the bell, the sound can be inconsistant, and I find it hard to be accurate on this particular bell, it's small. Other than that, the ride is great. . . the perfect amount of brightness when it needs to be, and I can also beat the fuck out of it and get a big wall of noise out of it. I definitely need a new crash. Mine is a very thin AA 18inch Sabian crash. It was great using it in a folk band, but rock music needs more. This crash fades out too quickly, so it's a constant quipped exclamation mark. I'd like to have a very big, wet sounding crash, one that carries through like a wave, supporting everything on top of it. One that'll carry the other sounds in the room to where they need to be, without getting in the way.
