ladies and gentlemen, i couldn't help myself. soon after my mom blessed me with an iPhone 5 a few days ago i realized that if i shared photos on instagram or facebook as much i'd like to, it'd be straight up spam. obviously one of the best features on an iphone is the camera, so after a little contemplation i decided to start another photo blog, but this is different. in addition to my main photo blog, http://flongala.tumblr.com/ this one is less fancy and more for daily documentation, they're just mobile uploads, hence the blog name. i'm not sure if i'll keep it for too long but i'm really enjoying it so far. the best part is that i don't have to scan negatives or prints to post photos, so i'll be uploading frequently. here's some of the coolest from the pack.

interview!

This cool videographer/creator from Florida named FXRBE$ just started this new blog, fxrbeslist.com and did a little feature on me among a few other talented artists. These are a few of the questions and answers, you can read the rest of the shit I said on his blog though. Also, check out his youtube channel, he's doing big things.

The Ten Throwback Thursday Commandments

1. Thou shalt not #tbt selfies. It's one of the lowkey rules. With a few exceptions, it's kind of basic to post a selfie, if it's Thursday I want to see some serious nostalgia inducing photos, get creative.
2. Thou shalt not post pictures taken less than one month prior to #tbt date. You posted that same picture on Facebook, and a bunch of your Facebook friends follow you on Instagram so you're not looking at that many likes anyway. Also what's the point of posting a "throwback" where you look the same...?
3. Thou shalt not throw it back too far. No sonograms please, that died with the #tbt pics of sperm, and the "took this five minutes ago #tbt" pics, it's not funny anymore.
4. Thou shalt not #tbt on Tuesday, or any other day. Yes, people do this. I mean we all know the "t" stands for Thursday and Transformation Tuesday is it's own other time Instagram sets aside for us to be narcissistic, you know who you are, just stahhp.
5. Thou shalt not OD on #tbt pics. That means no sitting in front of family albums just for the sake of posting every cute picture you see of your(thy)self in the span of like twenty fucking minutes, doesn't matter care how cute you were.
6. Thou shalt not over do it with the throwback summer pics. Seriously, just because you looked good does not mean we, your followers, are trying to see your half naked body every other week.
7. Thou shalt not post #tbt pictures between the hours of 12am and 3am on Thursday. It sort of screams, "I've been waiting for this all week... got my filters/captions ready and everything" Please don't be that guy.
8. Thou shalt not post "#tbt" pictures between the hours of 12am and 3am on Friday. Even though people are still up and in the "it's still Thursday night" mindset.... you, my friend, are a cheater. P.S. Thursday comes every week. So if you missed your chance just wait it out a little, or at least have the decency to hashtag it "#flashbackfriday" instead!
9. Thou shalt not #tbt pictures of old flings and boyfriends/girlfriends with lame captions. If you miss them that much text them, call them, refriend them on Facebook, etc.
10. Thou shalt not over-filter #tbt photos. If you used to have a really bad haircut, we wanna see, if you used to look like godzilla, we won't judge, that much.

Took me a while to think of some of that stuff, but on that note, here are some of my Throwback Thursday highlights. (P.S. if you click the picture you can see it at a greater resolution) 
Thanks for readinggggg.

wonder how much longer i can go till i get bored and just stop using social media in general

mayyyyyyyyy

Yeah, I'm sort of getting ahead of myself cause it's still April but whatever. May's great, it's my birthday  month and I'm turning 18 and finishing high school, thank God. Plus that means summer's coming soon.... more flowers, more ice cream, more music, more everything, May's just a great fucking month. Usually when I get bored or have an idea for a photo I go to my roof and just start shooting, I'm slowly getting tired of that but here's some stuff I did on Sunday.

what I'm wearing: Vintage Henri Bendel suede motorcycle jacket, thrifted floral dress and converse

throwback wendy film (9th or 10th grade)

last week i rediscovered old negatives of my sister from a project i did in photo and decided to print them. haven't done much close up portraiture in a while and am really into street photography now... but printing these pictures of Wendy made me want to return to shooting stuff like this. you can check out the rest of the film i printed on my TUMBLR.

i started a photography blog. lol that sounds so weird to me i feel like everyone has one but i needed a place to put work i did besides just facebook so i could share it with other people. if you're reading this and haven't peeped HTTP://FLONGALA.TUMBLR.COM/ peep dat. follow dat. luhh dat. there's not that much on there right now but don't worry you will be visually pleased with time. trust meee.

i'm a window shopper

so i went downtown for some shit lol and on my way back up, post my chipotle lunch I got distracted of course, look at these pretty shoes i saw.

these are dope, deena and ozzy shoes from urban outfitters are basically the only reason i like wedges now... i really wanted these beautiful white ones a while ago but they sold out before I could get them :( but yeah you can purchase these hereeeee if you want ----> POW

 

I really liked these too, it looks like they were dipped in liquid metal then left out to dry... peep 

 

Steve Madden, basically just fuck with these cause of the blue bottom and they could work for guys and girls... though they were in the women's section of the shoe department.
