go! it's going to be great!


watched this movie last night:

it's wonderful.

two more days.

not only is this video aesthetically pleasing - but it's positive political propaganda, something we don't see very often.
i'm super proud that my parents and grandparents made the choice to vote obama. it's a definite risk for my parents, but they know, and i know, that in the long run it's what is best for our country.

two more days!

random collection...

this polaroid is from the fall... outside of my window.


this is one from a number of pictures micah and i took pumpkin carving in october. i just especially like this one.


this is a technique called TtV (through the viewfinder). i was just experimenting with it three or four months ago. i love the look of it.






these two were taken during my first few weeks of class in the fall. i was out finding "e"s for my typography assignment.



aaand these are the recents. i'm in a "digital photography for non-majors" class and to be honest... it kind of sucks. we have to use our point and shoot digital cameras (lucky for me i have a nice one) and i'm the only one in the class with a substantial amount of photography experience. i'm not trying to sound conceited or cocky in anyway, its just difficult when we're going over what f-stop and aperture, shutter speed and depth of field all mean. it's just boring, and not what i was expecting. i suppose what i assumed it would be is more of a digital imaging (editing digital photos and learning new techniques and photoshop/lightroom tricks) i guess refreshment is always a good thing... im just sick of being stuck in the basic photography. i was an AP photo student in high school - i feel like i am selling myself short.

ANYWAY.. for our first assignment we had to create a collection of 10 photos with a theme of "close to home" (things that are important to us or are literally close to home). so i chose to do things that were incredibly important in my life. as i was shooting i discovered the first few things i photographed all had a circular shape, so i tried to continue that relationship throughout my work... check it out:

cheap thrills!

this is a rough of a poster im working on for eskell and these other boutiques. i still have some editing to do, but felt the need to share. i'm pretty pleased with the outcome thus far..



this is the ad i produced for them in december..
