I used to love the snow as a little kid. Who didn't?
Bundled all up, rolling outside. Sledding and all sorts of trouble.
But now?
Now I can't wait for days like these. Sunshine and blue skies. Metaphorically true.

Everything here seems to be covered in powdered sugar only it ain't so sweet.

Here's a little sports for 'ya.
It's my one of my weakness. The one that I'm trying so hard to get over.
The lighting in Rose is just awful however and it quite often discourages me from shooting.
I'll keep trying though. Really trying.

Cross your fingers friends.
Internship?
Please. No, not for the money.
For the experience baby.

I cleaned some files off of the hard-drive today.
Forgot about this assignment from the paper. Had to be sometime last year, maybe more towards March.

I remember how nervous I was when they gave this to me. It was a special assignment that they wanted me to do, only me.
I did not want to let them down.

I was a little disappointed that it ran almost a week later, only one photo, and on a back page.

But I do remember going early and staying late.
And now, looking back, I realize I did a pretty good job.

I forget that sometimes you should be proud of yourself.

From the past month.
I haven't posted in forever.

Here you go.
I'm proud of these little gems.

Found this little image on my computer this afternoon.
I took it about a month or two ago, when some students were sleeping outside in boxes to recreate what its like to not have a home.
It's snowing outside, damn near blizzard. I guess I just thought its important to be thankful for our warm beds tonight.

Stick that in your back pocket.



As always. More to come.

From the National Noose Rally this past Friday (December 7, 2007)

It took a lot for me to drag my butt out of bed on a Friday, my only day off, and stand outside in the freezing, wet, cold snow with no gloves for three hours but I must say I am proud of myself. I got some cool images and I feel like I proved something to myself. It's just about enterprising. You gotta want it.
Tons more images, I just randomly picked these few.

As always, more to come.

Photo Illustration for my studio class.
"Picture Perfect Relationships" -- Get it?

Exams. All nighters.
It's been a hella of week.
I've only got around 7 hours of sleep for the past three days but the goods news is I think I have a decent portfolio ready to go and the slight bit of confidence I've been searching for this semester.
I have to say I'm sad to see my class end. It started out as a nightmare but now, now its something more. I learned more in that class than I have in any other course.
Thank you for that.
