TRAVEL!!!

Well I've done a lot of traveling in my time but I think these next two months will take the cake! This blog has been a good way for me to share with y'all my excursions etc. so I will try and keep it updated during my travels. I am currently packing for my visit to hawaii! I get to hang out with my brother mark (who lives there) and the rest of my family (minus laura). It should be a blast and I will keep you updated. I'll be there for 2 weeks.

peace!

Garage Voice LIVE!

Stylized Nature with a Broken Lens

Before I took my lens in for repair I took these nature-type shots to take advantage of the cool distortion effect caused by the malfunctioning lens. I also had some adjustment layer fun in photoshop.

My 50mm 1.4 lens is in for repairs so I decided to play with the macro function on my little PowerShot SD770. A few hours and couple color tweaks later my pipe-cleaner alarm clock has turned into fuzzy positive and negative space.

Pipe-Cleaner Fun



I had the urge to make something with my hands the other night and pipe-cleaners were readily available. I was challenged by my roommate Sam to make a working alarm clock. I think got as close as possible. There are "gears" in the back and the hands turn smoothly around the face.

For some reason I have quite a few friends who are in bands. One of them asked me to come to this worship service / concert that they were playing at and take some pictures. It was a great excuse to use my new camera / lens combination in a live event setting for the first time. It was a learning experience but I think I got a few good ones.
