Here's to the past and the future.



(Andrea exploring a secret garden inside a burned out building)


I'm pretty excited about the rest of my undergrad. I've figured out my classes.
The ones I'm most excited about are the electives, and I sort of wish I had more space for gen ed classes.
I'll just have to keep up the reading. I decided to not keep the exemption in Digital Imaging I and take it anyway, but I didn't learn too much in it. Oh well.



Bold items are already taken or being taken right now.
Striked items were ones I was exempted from when I came to scad (giving me more photo electives).

Jon and Pranas are local comic artists.



These were some shots taken when we did that big comic artist project (up at my website as sketchbook.) that I saved to post later.



I'll post some more shots from that shoot at some point.
It seems everyone prefers my studio work, but I really avoid it these days.
Natural light is just too too too beautiful and I take so many photos using it.
So I try to space out the studio stuff a bit.

I'm done with scanning, spotting, and slightly adjusting (no way I'm going to actually get in depth on so many images) all the Rolleicord V shots from the last couple months! That means about 5 more galleries on facebook, and about 12 days of posts here to get through all of those images. So I've got about 30 posts worth of pictures again in my to post folder. Oh well, I'll try and move it along as quickly as possible.

It would be nice if one day I'd be able to show pictures the day after I took them, or something like that, but it seems like I can't just stop taking damn pictures. Oops.

Here are pictures of Zachariah! He's pretty much the O'Keefe to my Steiglitz these days, it seems, so I'm sorry if you hate his face.

The first few are all cross processed, from various days, and the last ones are not. That last shot of him is pretty much my favorite picture. Ever.
It's so much better because he just sits like that sometimes. I seriously don't ever tell him to do anything (except once, when I told him to jump.)
Fuckin love that kid.

























Yeah we just chill in the bike room with those busted up mountain bikes alllll the time, for real. hahahaha.
Man that reminds me I still haven't taken any pictures of my sweet retro road bike that I picked up for 20 bucks (well, and parts and repairs costs).

Last quarter I had to bike over and shoot a photo for some fashion major article in about 5 minutes.
These aren't retouched or anything.





Fixin' to take a picture.




Oh hey, is that some wood coming out of your head? Way to compose, Ian.





I do not do my best work sleep deprived. Yet I always seem to be.

Here are some shots from a desoto show, around march 8th.





















































































































































































Also, Jessica (who is the girl in unsolved mysteries, the first band playing in this set, so you've seen a fair amount of her) and I
have started a sort of experimental noise thing.
Really, just messing about.

Our first track was an ode to browsing myspace and hearing everything overlap.
It's up at our myspace.
