Hello world, it is two in the morning, I'm sitting outside the school after walking here to email a teacher something that's due on the 17th, because I'll be in Chiapas, Mexico (as of tomorrow night) all of next week, and it's a clear night with brilliantly bright stars, and life is beautiful. |

So, I decided to just put all of the images on a web page instead of posting them here, and attaching them elsewhere, and so on and so forth.
Here's some (probably less than half - the rest is in my portfolio, which I don't currently have) of my work from block.

| A quick sample of my photo work from the last few weeks (i.e. whatever I happened to have with me) |

Pinhole Camera
Cyanotype
Kallitype (or Van Dyke)
Blue Van Dyke (Kallitype printed over Cyanotype)
Salted Paper Print
I feel it prudent to include that 1-3 are completely photoshop-free, 4 was warped with the GIMP (similar to photoshop) and printed on a map, 5 is two negatives layed over each other (the left negative had its contrast and sharpness altered with photoshop), 6 used photoshop to create two separate negatives to print on each other, and 7 was heavily photoshopped. Four through seven were printed on transparencies as negatives, and printed with their respective processes. |

I believe that I'm starting to get to the point that I don't want to go to sleep at night because I'll just wake up the next morning with a whole lot of work to do. Perhaps that has something to do with me almost staying up the entire night each of the last four nights... |

So, I registered for classes today. Kickass. Those AP classes helped a lot (I got to register earlier than most of the freshman, and I don't have to take a writing or math class and I already have 30 credits. etc.)
I gots:
Philosophy: Modes of Thinking
Plants and Humans
Ecological Economics
and I'm on the waiting list for Ecological Design (Eco Econ being the alternative)
I got the last spot in Plants and Economics (kickass again)
So, we leave for the backpacking part of orientation tomorrow morning, and I'm soooo excited. The group I'm with is awesome, and our instructors are great too. We're just being crazy and generally having lots of fun. lalalala
I could go on for a while, but it's goddamn late and I'd like to get some sleep before the trip. (that backpack is definitely the heaviest it's ever been). We get to swim in a river with our backpacks and boots on for a good third of the trip. (so cool!)
So, see you guys in three weeks! |

So, went to the IshCon two weekends ago and a work weekend at Silverwater this past weekend. Too much to tell. Blah blah blah graduation is on Friday and I have a speech to write tonight - hurrah(?) - that was apparently due quite some time ago. Although Cox never decided to tell me. Or well, it's more likely that it just went in one ear and out the other.
From the IshCon two weekends ago:

Oh, and that song thing that Ashley asked me to do:
My "current favorite songs:"
1. "Flying Horses" - Dispatch
2. "Fly" - Nick Drake
3. "Rhapsody In Blue" - George Gershwin
4. "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" - Radiohead
5. "Here Comes The Sun" - The Beatles
6. "Green Eyes" - Coldplay
So, off to write me a speech. |

Well, isn't that ironic. I'm on page 42 in the yearbook. That is, I'm only on page 42 =P
And Dad scanned some more photos! Hooray! It's been forever since I've had new photos to share on here, 'cause I stopped going to chuch... some... amount of time that I'm not quite sure of ago, and the only time we ever go to his office is right after church. So - ( enjoy! ) |
