I'm not sure but I think that I got run over by the first week of school.
Valentine's Day was avoided relatively easily. Mary & I went to see the decidedly unromantic Morvern Callar. It's the second movie by Scottish lady Lynne Ramsey. If the story doesn't put its hooks in you than you're dumb. I'd seen it last October at the Chicago Int'l Film Festival & even though I recently have some complex about seeing movies twice I was excited enough to drag Mary to see it. She liked it, by the way, or so she said. Ms. Ramsey's first movie, Ratcatcher is available on Criterion DVD.
I got my new camera finally but now I feel a bit weird about taking it outside. It cost a lot more than the 35mm Pentax that I've had for almost 10 years. I'm going to have to get used to the rangefinder, too. It's a bit weird. I can see the end of the lens when I look through.
In lieu of a profile of sorts, I'm including below a "memo" that I sent to some relatives who wanted to know what was going on in my life.
Hello
Rob Lomblad has currently begun work on what is to be his final undergraduate semester at Columbia College - Chicago. In June he will receive a Bachelor of the Arts in Photography. In the fall, he will be taking some "time off" to get ready for graduate school applications in January & February of 2004. At this time, his intended target is a Masters of Fine Art (MFA) from a school that has yet to be decided. The list of possibilities currently includes the School of Visual Arts in New York City, the Massachusetts School of Art in Boston, the California College of Arts & Crafts & the San Francisco Art Institute, both in the great "City by the Bay."
Rob is coming up on his sixth year of employment at the venerable Reckless Record of Chicago. He has risen through the ranks & is now considered to be among, if not the best, judge of vinyl grading on the West Side. His specialties include early Blue Note & Impulse pressings, as well as mid to late 90's independent rock music. He also continues to work as a teacher's assistant & a lab technician in Columbia's Digital Imaging Lab where he's expanded his knowledge of a host of "cutting-edge" software & hardware developments.
On a personal note, Rob has been spending a lot of time in the company of a certain girl named Mary Flatley. Mary hails from outside of Erie, Pennsylvania & is in Chicago studying photography at Columbia College. What a coincidence! The two seem to be quite fond of each other but it is indeed "to soon to tell."

Thank You & Good Day!
