As seen on the street:

I have these moments when I am out photographing.

One minute I feel that where I am at is not inspiring me,
but then something magical happens like the above moment.

I am then left to dream about whether or not I actually recorded what I saw until I get the film processed...

This is what It is all about.

^ comfort food all day if only the store was open^ light and buildings

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!

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