Wow it's been a long time since I've been back to this site. Just sitting here and I figured I'd put an update, just for posterity's sake.

Buhl Day went relatively well, I got an honorable mention for a photo of a goose taking off from the lake there (actually it was being chase by a swan, and didn't really take flight...). However, due to old ladys running the event, I was put under the "Youth" category. I am officially the oldest youth in the Shenango Valley.

I've been being numbed by class, haven't had any time for myself this semester. Finally got to shoot on my own terms a few days ago. Did some portraits in the studio of a friend so I have a sort of senior picture portfolio to show potential 12th grade clients. Gonna post a few of the better ones up.

Working on a series of 4 advertising oriented shots of Fossil watches for a class. May put them up when I'm done depending on how they turn out. Studio work is fun, but I miss just making a shot and that's it, instead of making 150 exposures for 1 final image.

Also, Graphic Design is destroying my mind. Taking a Typography class also which is really fun, but really hard. We'll see if I want to show any of them. If I get the motivation, I might go on a post-a-thon.

That is my life in a nutshell right now. Type, Tungsten and Tenebrosity.

Well, here in this small town area of ours near the PA border in Northeast Ohio we have this little thing called Buhl Day at the local public park. It's like a kind of festival with music, games, shows, and a small art show of people from the area. This year I've decided to toss a few pics into the art show and see if I can snag me an honorable mention...

The actual show is Labor Day and the deadline's August 30. So... now I need to figure out how to use my sister's mat cutter to make my prints presentable. Wish me luck!

Yes that's right, after I take my last final (on the history of design..) in two hours, that is IT. I don't know what this means for my photography, but I'm planning on shooting more this summer than I usually do. I mean actually shooting, not taking snapshots of whatever I see. Actually trying out some ideas and trying to better myself as a digital photographer.

The state of my Photography final is turned in. I'm not happy with it, but I have a few ones in there that are kind of good. It was a new experience for me since it was a black and white digital photography class... and I'm usually most concerned with colors. I have 2 self portraits that are very corny and traditional, but I think they turned out nicely. Nothing groundbreaking to see, but not too bad.

That is all. I will try to be more active. Maybe I might actually submit something worth the time it took me to create it. Until then, toodles.

I know, I've been on a pet photography kick, don't know what's up with it. Hopefully I can break out of it soon. Maybe I will get some good opportunities soon. I have been feeling in a photographizing mood recently. Come what may.

Hi!
