I'm going to post a self portrait each month. Just warning you.

living

In an attempt to live my life (inspired by Don Miller's attempt to make his "story" more interesting), I've begun saying "yes" to a lot of questions/offers/invitations, and I'm looking for things to do outside of my normal comforts. Last night I went contradancing in Austin; it's like bluegrass, partnered line dancing. It was so much fun! Everyone should try it. Tonight I will be going swing dancing. And I've decided to have a monthly dance (or any kind, really) party. So apparently living my life means dancing...a lot. But I will do other stuff too! I'm planning on doing a puppet show (hopefully) this semester. Anywho, sorry for all the recent uploads, but at least it beats nothing at all, right?

That's my friend Karen in the green pants. Thanks for inviting me, Karen!


Everyone there was super nice. :)

I got a new lens (50mm, f1.8), then I went to see a bunch of my friends play a show in Lake Jackson. I was just playing around with the new glass really, but I got a few good shots from it.

it's been a while

Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while. I haven't found a scanner big enough for my film prints, and I haven't used my digital pretty much all semester. Now that Fall 09 is over I'm using it again, and come Spring 10 I will be enrolled in a digital class, so expect consistency once again.

No further delays, here are some stills.

dancedancedance

This year my good friends and neighbors had a dance party the night before Halloween. Need I say more?

Couldn't decide between this one...


...or this one.




Yes, you should be creeped out.

Assignment two involved active/passive framing.

intersect

Sorry I haven't posted in such a long time. I'm in a film class now, and so my digital gets a bit neglected when it comes to art, and posting ordinary, documentary-type photos would be pointless. I'm going to start scanning my film and putting it up, and hopefully get back to digital when possible (I make no promises).

This is from the first assignment, in which I unknowingly overexposed all of my film. The assignment was to take pictures at an intersection.
