Two Hours To Go




So I am currently at the Admiral's Club, located at American Airlines, waiting to board my flight, which is at 8 o'clock. I am as antsy as ever to go back home, work out and sleep in my own bed. Even though I am sure my dog will sprawl out in the middle of the night, somehow taking over my spot, and I will eventually end up on either half on the bed, or on the floor, but it's okay because I love my dog, he is the best man in the world.

Let me just tell you though, 7 suitcases checked, and 4 or 5 carry-on bags, made me come to the conclusion I over packed, and that I need to learn how to under pack, because when I get home I am going to just have the *joyous* of times putting all of my things away.

After this long day, of a 4-5 hour drive from Savannah to Atlanta, and then a 2-3 hour flight from Atlanta to Chicago, I'll have almost a 4 month Summer to help me recover and enjoy from an interesting year.

Always,
Chicago

Society At Its Finest


“That's the whole trouble. You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking, somebody'll sneak up and write "Fuck you" right under your nose.”

Pattern




So its offical, I finished my photo final, and all the last minute rushing an details will hopefully pay off. For my photo final, I had to create a topic proposal, and since this is me here, I obviously changed it about less than two weeks before my final. I ended up photographing how humans are very pattern oriented creatures, and how when the pattern is broken, we often at times do not realize this, since we are so used to the pattern that is always followed. However, there are select individuals who see things, and do things very differently then the rest of the crowd, these are the rebellious individuals who do not want to do as others do.

Finals Week


With five days to go until my first year at college is over, it is nothing but trying to meet the deadlines for final week. The Pressures on, and I love it. I have a few more prints to work on, and then I am officially done. Only four more months until I get to go to Lacoste, France. The change of pace will be good for me, this will be just the sort of thing I need to free my mind, and to just be myself. Four months seems like such a long time.

Painting Our Expressions


I had to create cheap at home studio lighting, and I did not really feel like taking photographs of still lifes, so I face painted on my friends, and had a blast. Not only did I use paint brushes, but I also finger painted, only some of the paint didn't really wash off my hands that well, until the next morning atleast. But all I got to say is, my friends went to waffle house at 3 A.M with their faces done like this, that's pretty gutsy if you ask me.

Always,
