By most standards 10,000 blog hits is not that many. But the counter at the bottom of the blog reads 9980, so with 20 more people coming to the blog this blog will have had 10000 hits...

I thought that was interesting.....

I apologize, my dad sent me an email correcting me. This is the correct lineup.

I am ridiculous.

I am quite positive that I have some attention disorder.

The fact that it is 5:00am and I am just now ready to go to bed is proof that my schedule is way off.

With those things said... I redid my website tonight.

I have been tired with the formal looking ((boring)) layout of the website for the past 8 months or so. Tonight at about 10:00pm I chose to redo it... make it a little more fun.

I hope to get some feedback on it. The old site is still up so all my other work is still available... but this new one is much easier to update.

Time for bed now.......
..... but one more thing. I also made this image that shows all the cameras I have ever owned and used regularly.....
.....now bedtime.

This is so typical of me. I didn't do hardly any work, other than shooting and traveling. The past two nights I have stayed up till 5 am working. At this point I am probably a tad insane, but I am getting good work done. More work on the pleasereflect.org project:










And a short video of clips from when Aura came out to visit with me:

I am now working on another project. I think this might be a super cool idea... and so far it is shaping up quite nicely. It is based on an assignment that I had at school; to make a picture based on a rebellious act (not political or religious) that will in turn make the world a better place though change.

My thought is that I will do a series of leave behind items including bumper stickers, coasters, menus, posters, fabric overlays on signs, etc.

interested? soon I will have a website for this idea (( pleasereflect.org )). but for now

pleasereflect.blogspot.com

I have been slacking off. I have probably 6 rolls of film to develop and another 4 to scan in. I'm excited to see whats on them. I suppose my memory is not sharp enough to remember what all i have been photographing over the last month. Aura came in to town to be with me for 12 days. On her last day I decided to seek the immediate gratification of my digital camera for the first time in almost three months. Anyhow. These photos were taken on the Santa Monica Pier.

It has been very nice out here because ever since I came back a few weeks ago there have been people (my grandma, Andrew and Makenzie, cousin Brennan, Jill, Shane and Jeff) out here to keep me company. With their distraction I haven't been posting or spending much time processing photos, key word processing because I have been shooting. I will have a chance to scan this weekend so more will be coming soon. Until then here are some random shots. The first two are 4 foot by 2 foot painting/photos that I did for my art history final. These are not the finished versions but the basic idea is there. The paintings were inspired by Cy Twombly's work (famous abstract expressionist painter). After the paintings are a couple of quick shots I took with my video camera when I was up in San Fran visiting with Jill. Like I mentioned above... better shots to come that I took with the Leica.

Also please take the time to check out my sister's new website... I think it is in progress but it's worth checking out the site and the blog too!
Parulacreative.com
her blog!


What have I been doing out here? LA traffic is the answer.
