I love making images of people. It's so much more satisfying than any of my other photography.

we're a crazy bunch

I'm a Star Wars fan. I've been a fan as long as I can remember. I say that with pride (and just a bit of fear that this may cause people to think I liked the three that have been released in my lifetime). That said, this sums up exactly how I feel about it now. It deserves the ironic and hyperbolic treatment this writer gives it. And the best part is, people took it super seriously. "For every so called "flaw" or "failure" in the saga (none which I agree with by the way), there are dozens of story points, elements that make Mr. Lucas six-episode saga untouchable in the history of cinema. I'm not talking effects, or box office receipts, but the genius of how he told his Shakespearean myth in the form of the moving image." People like that are why I get embarrassed to call myself a fan sometimes.

OMG

WAAAANT. I'm such a dork but this just looks awesome to me. Think of the possibilities! Manzana Lift made a home! Homemade rasberry tea soda! This makes me feel like an over hyped ten year old, but really, this just looks awesome to me (and the nineties styles photos just make that flashback even worse).

because I'm done with winter

Here are some pictures I took in Oregon this summer. I'm so done with freezing weather and sweaters. (Also, I'm looking for an excuse to show off my photo skills.)

just in case you've been under a rock for the last two years

In 21 days President-elect Obama will be sworn into office and Microsoft Word will continue to tell me I'm trying to talk about public enemy number one every time I type his name.



What a wonderful time to be alive!

Womanizer

This is the best video I've seen in a long time. I am neither a Britney fan nor an All American Rejects fan but this is wonderfully amusing.

Look out 2009, here I come!

Things I want to do in 2009 by category, I'll add things as I think of them:
THE UNLIKELY

Move to Portland, OR
Get 5s on all my AP tests (Hey! I can dream/have delusions if I want!)

THE LIKELY
Attend college
Take lots and lots more pictures, specifically of people
NOT fail out of high school
Put more time and energy into photography
Write more- here and in a journal
Explore the world of GF cooking (I don't know why I don't cook more.)
