This is the first post in a few months, I’ve had a hard time focusing on photography.

With Ex girls, car accidents and sickness/death in the past I’ve been trying to move forward and create.

Here is the first string of Film Black and whites I’ve ever done. I’m transitioning into Film from digital as I gave my camera away to my little brother. I felt it would be a great opportunity for him to find out if he loves taking photos as much as i do, and for me to learn the art of film.

I’ll be posting as often as i get them developed. The first few rolls are going to be Walgreen’s developed but I’m also hoping to start working in a dark room at school so i can master it.

Let me know what you think.

A trip to my mother home in Cannon Beach, Or.

I miss old summer days, I hope this year we have a warm summer.

I’ve been traveling around recently looking for a nice suit case for my art supplies but I’ve been reluctant to pay a ton of money. I found this really cool place in Berkeley called Urban Ore! It’s like a giant garage sale, they carry everything from door knobs to mannequins, really cool stuff. On my bike ride to Urban Ore today I stopped in a park to chase the geese! I’m not a big fan of em. =P

So I’ve been going through some of my old pictures looking for shots I did for class, here’s a few from my black and white course!(this picture below is not mine, but I’m in it and I rather like it) (this picture is a tribute dumb love)

Sometimes in the morning I am petrified and can’t move, awake but cannot open my eyes, and the weight is crushing down on my lungs, I know I can’t breathe, and hope someone will save me this time. And your father’s still calling you insane and high, Swearing it’s different this time, And you tell him to give in to the demons that possess him, And that god never blessed his insides. Then you hang up the phone and feel badly for upsetting things and crawl back into bed to dream of a time when your heart was open wide and you love things just because like the sick and dying. And sometimes when you’re on You’re really fucking on, and your friends they sing along and they love you. But the lows are so extreme that the good seems fucking cheap and it teases you for weeks in its absence. But you’ll fight and you’ll make it through, you’ll fake it if you have to. And you’ll show up for work with a smile, you’ll be better, you’ll be smarter, More grown up and a better daughter or son, And a real good friend. You’ll be awake, you’ll be alert, you’ll be positive though it hurts, and you’ll laugh and embrace all of your friends, and you’ll be a real good listener. You’ll be honest, you’ll be brave, you’ll be handsome and you’ll be beautiful, you’ll be happy…Your ship may be coming in, you’re weak but not giving in, to the cries and the wails of the valley below…  

This is part one for next tattoo.

Please enjoy and let me know what you think.

I can’t believe this crap, My photoshop is messed up. I guess I over work it but damn! Whenever I save as or open or anything the pop up dialog box slowly moves off screen, and even if i reset the tool bars it’s still off screen so i can’t change Rez or save as or anything! WTF is that all about… F* photoshop 7! I need cs2.

Here’s all I could muster up this week…

I have a ton of outdoor shots coming soon, as soon as I figure out PS…
