I wish it was mine

Did a photo shoot with my uncles car. Here is a photo from it. Enjoy.

Surreal

Here is a little bit of photoshop work. I like it. Has a nice feel. Did it in my photoshop class @ SMC.

A Memory

Here is a photo from a camping trip to Anza Borrego that I went on a year ago. I never got around to editing these photos, but I recently discovered a few that are worth showing. By the way, if you are ever in Santa Barbara, drop by. I get very bored.

Great Blog, really funny. Check it out. Now. First in Line

Fighters of the Foo

I went to see a Foo Fighters concert not too long ago, and I managed to get off a couple shots... with my cell phone. I took one into photoshop to see what I could do with it, and this is what I got:



The original was all grainy, so I cleaned it up a bit, but if you want to see what the original was like (although the actual original is a little les contrasty, and doesnt pop as much), here it is:



Technology is coming along nicely.

Update

Well, its a new year, and I sadly dont have much I want to say. Alot has happened in my life recently, btu I dont feel that I want to discuss it here. Its not that I mind sharing, but Im just unmotivated. Here are some highlights:

- I now live in Santa Barbara
- I was accepted into the photo school I was applying to (Brooks Institute of Photography).
- Everyone I know that does photography has misgivings about my decision to study here.

To tell you the truth, the longer Im here, the more unsure I become in my decision. Dont get me wrong, I still love photography, but I dont know if this is the right school for me. I dont see myself learning as much as I had hoped, so in the end, Im paying for a piece of paper that says I endured (Bachelors). Is that piece of paper worth it? I could get it in a different field, and I would pay alot less... like English! Except Nick would see me dead before he acknowledged that I have a decent knowledge of a language. I want that piece of paper so I can teach. Thats it. I can work with the photo knowledge I have, but I cant teach without the paper. Dammit!

Old Portraits

I found some old portraits that I like. Decided to share. Enjoy.

Portfolio

So, here is my new business card layout, and my promo piece. Enjoy.

Another shot from my portfolio. Vader in his favorite color. Enjoy.

Death's Monologues

I have once again returned to the full glory of what it is to be the trasporter.

Good News

"Orgasm is probably incredibly good for the brain," Komisaruk says. "The entire organ is being oxygenated."

Begin Again

This is part of my new portfolio, which happens to be a toy series. Enjoy.

Tiny Human

This is an assignment for my digital capture class. The idea was to get a tiny human to do a tiny human thing, so here it is. Enjoy.

A Chrismas Dream

A friend said post poetry, and so I did:

The world lives in a crisis
It shatters like a Christmas dream
My hopes, dreams, and my future are all contained in that world
I live with what I created
I live with what I destroyed
I fight, for what I believe to be good, but only help in bringing forth what’s wrong
To attain peace, I must destroy the enemy
To destroy the enemy, I must cause war
I see only hopelessness ahead
It is a horizon that never nears
A path that never ends
An endless loop

Not Some Mumbo Jumbo

These are words. Real words. Words that mean something. Enjoy.

And another HA!

More Comic!

Here's the Deal

So Ive been really busy, except I havent. I dont really know what has been occupying so much of my time, and yet, where did my time go? There I things I should have done, which I havent. There are things that should be finished, but I just started. I know that playing games occupies alot of my time, and though I should be doing something to change it, I really dont want to. Sadly, it offers a bit of comfort, in that it changes the daily humdrum of life. Ive recently been through alot, though most dont know. Right now, the world seems a little desaturated. Maybe its the grey days we've been having. Maybe its the tone of life, and Im just begining to see it. I just remember tehre being alot more color to this canvas. On the bright side, I think that ph7 is possibly starting to record another EP, if not an album.
On a slightly off topic, Ill probably be transfering to Brooks Institute of Photography in January. I find I have mixed feelings about this. I was realy looking forward to transfering, but now I find that Im not as excited about it. I have a friend that is going there, and its not the cool photographic community I imagined. Instead it is just another school. The main reason Im applying, is because I dont know what else to do. I dont want to enter the real world yet. I want to continue in this palyful fantasy that Ive created, and school seems to help bring that about. But is paying 45k a year worth it? I dont know. Is the title "bachelor" worth me paying 70k? I just dont know. What I do know, is that right now, Im really tired. Most likely, because it is a longer post, nobody read this far. Regardless, it helps ot put words to it. *Sigh*

Oopsies!

I thought I had already posted this. Enjoy.
