Nevermind the website

There were quite a few wrenches thrown into the gears for me and my friend web designer. Rest assured there will be more logos, fun stuff, photos, and less pixellation, boredom, and repetition on my website as soon as I have a computer back in my life. Oye

Minus computer

So post graduation has been a life without computers in it. My hard drive crashed during finals week and almost a month later and... nothing. I've been spending a lot of quality time with actual books, which is nice, but somethings gotta give!

Winning!

My computer crashed, have had consecutive model cancellations, reprinted an entire portfolio (#coatingcotastrophy), but i'm done.  And I even managed a little shoe polishing for graduation.

Yeah!

Yeah, I did just design my business cards like that!  I'm getting them printed through MOO, the arrive June 9th (cutting it just a little close), and according to the website they will be printed on luxurious paper with smooth satin feel.  OOOH! 

Aaaand, they're double sided.  It's like buying a brand new shiny reversible jacket!  I am excitebike!

Jennifer & Joe

Perhaps you recall a few blog posts ago me freaking out over a couple of no reshoot situations.  Well, the wedding went fantastic.  The coordinator left us without a space for formal shots after the ceremony, but we pulled it together and came away having had a great time and taken lots of beautiful photos!

So, lemme shout out to my home skillet Anne-Michele who shot the wedding with me.  And congratulations and all the happiness there is to my friends Jennifer and Joe!

ROCKIN' Portfolios

Photographers!  Check it.  This website is a Pina Zangaro distributor and is HANDS DOWN the single cheapest source for portfolios I have found on the interweb.

(click image to go to rockin' portfolios dot com)

I got two 11x14 books, 40 adhesive strips, and a metal box big enough for 16x20 mat boards all (literally) for the same price I paid for ONE 8x10 book locally.  Swish!

way down from the Kansas of my heart

Two images from a series involving Kansas that has been a long time coming.  When I think of the things I'm going to have time to concentrate on after I'm done with school I get very excite!  T-minus 5 weeks now.  FIVE WEEKS!!

stop this bus, I want off.

A sweet bus shot I snapped with the cell phone that will never make it into my bus series.  Oh well.

No he didn't.

Oh, yes I did!

Because everybody loves a sharp dressed photo, no?  (Yes.)  New logo and new website cooking for graduation.  The closer graduation gets the more I feel things beginning rather than ending.
I.  can'twaittogetoutofschool!  I'll need:

• my own lights
• information on bonding plexiglass together (not to mention the plexiglass)
• for the print lab to operate cooperatively all quarter long
• a new computer, camera, tattoo, and job.

Thank god I own orange corduroys.  (p.s. how the hell to you spell the plural of corduroy?)

#Wishmeluck

I entered PDN's Curator Contest for fine art photography.
Wish me luck because the prize is totally awesome!

When pianos try to be guitars

Have you ever been editing/experimenting in photoshop only to look up at your work and realize that things have gone WAY too far?

Yeah.  Me too.

Sabin World Photo Club

It's happening tomorrow!  The Emerging Exposures gallery show is the final result of The Sabin World School's Photography Club (Started from the ground up by Amy Blomquist and Jill Mott.) that myself and several other volunteers from AiC helped with two terms ago.  The show is tomorrow night at the school and the kid's photos look awesome and I'm sure they'll sell out the show!

FLASH IS ALIVE!

With the introduction of products like the iPhone and the iPad flash websites (a favorite of photographers world wide [haha, web]) seemed like they were on their way out. The two major problems were: 1. Apple products don't support flash so people couldn't view your site on their mobile device. And, 2. Flash websites could not be optimized for search engines like google or mamma.

Well, those days are gone. The DROID hit the market supporting flash and making the iPhone look like a RAZR phone, psshh. And other companies all over the world are releasing iPad-esque devices that also support flash. That's problem number 1 nixed!

I also just found a new section in my customization area for my flash website that enables search engine optimization!

Sorry Mr. Jobs, but you fought the flash and the flash won!
