To Pass the Time...

I read Haleigh's post while printing images as part of a two-day print workshop here at school, and she got me on a pop-art search. Here are some of my favorite finds:



Michael Kalish. I couldn't copy a couple of the ones that I really liked because his site is flash. He uses license plates and paint on sheets of metal and wood. Check it out here. p.s. my favorites are "Rain" on page 4 of his collection and "Humphrey Bogart" on page 3.





Marco Kooiman. Trendy colors and nostalgic scenes. His website here.

Ahh, there are more. But no time. Enjoy!

Glum

I'm a little glum right now for more than one reason...

One is that I went to America's Best eyeglasses store today, which had a promotion for 2 pairs of glasses for $69 and ended up buying one pair for $194. The two pairs apparently is only frames and lenses when you basically pick the cheapest, lamest frames and have no real prescription. I could've gotten 2 pairs for $300. And I almost did. She was ringing up my debit card when I exclaimed, "No, wait, just the one pair." So I got these really cute metal frames with red on the top, and turned down another really cute pair of reddish-brown plastic frames. On the way home and now I am seriously regretting not getting the two pairs. The plastic frames alone were priced at $129. But do I need two pairs of glasses? I'm a poor college student, and my amazing frameless current pair is somewhere, lost in the abyss of Waverly, Iowa, and maybe I'll find them. But $100 for an extra pair? It's killing me inside. Geez, I am acting as if this is a serious life-changing decision when it's, well, eyeglasses.

The other glum-making factor is this video called "Children See - Children Do" that my friend Keri sent via email, which I felt like posting. It really makes its point well. Warning: I wouldn't show your kids this.



And lastly, I had my first class today, "Contemporary Issues & New Media" with my favorite teacher, Connie. However, when I arrived at class Connie wasn't there. Turns out that even though her name is listed in the computer system, she's not teaching the class. I was disappointed. (The other teacher guy seems pretty cool and off-the-wall as well, so I'll probably keep the class.)

On a happy note, my dad bought our vacation to HAWAII last night!!! Yay!!!

Recent Work: Katie's Wedding

Hey everyone! Just wanted to put up some of the pictures from my cousin Katie's wedding that I shot. I wasn't actually the photographer, I was the singer in the wedding, but I brought my camera along anyway! Here you are:

















Proof that I was actually singing and not just taking pictures! Apparently this is my Ave Maria face. Great, huh?
