brain melting.......

I can't get this damn technocracy to do my bidding! I just need to do some graphic design work and nothing wants to work for me. blargh. I even downloaded an adorable kitten desktop wallpaper so as to calm me in times of things not working out....

Since the graphic stuff didn't feel like working I did some photos instead.


Donna


I have to admit, normally I just post a couple of my favorite photos, but I'm having a hard time choosing which one's I'd like to share with you here...










Donna modeled for my class a few times, she came to our island field trip, one week just as a spectator & got suckered into being a model as well as last week. She's a sweet girl and you can always tell she's having a good time, which is a good thing as it makes for a good photo. I might have a few more to post of her in the not too distant future....

OK!

So I think it's high time we discussed some of my other nerdy interests! Let us start with the most important, personality shaping one of them all!!!

Jurassic Park!!!!

yeah you read that right.



Well to be honest, by discuss I meant casually mention...




I also thought I'd use it as an excuse to post some of my drawings;







that sketch is based on something I saw in an Scientific American once and the pastels are from a homework assignment.... posting those just made me want to draw more. Too bad I can't just work on all my various hobbies all day long... stupid need to food, clothe and provide shelter for myself. *grumble*

So yeah, to sum up. I dig dinosaurs, I saw Jurassic Park 8 times in the theatre and have an extensive collection of awesome collectibles (trading cards anyone??)



and sometimes I even photoshop them in exotic locations!



for my photoshop class ;)

I also took paleontology in university, until I remembered that I'm lazy & that there was no way I was going to go through w/ 8 years of school...

that's how my bread works.

Today, pre-coffee I said "That's how my bread works." and pointed at my head/brain. Very Monday. SAMETHINGASEVERYOTHERMONDAY. work, school home. slight variation today however in that when I got home after school Aimee & her cousin were watching vampire films. I caught the last 6 minutes or so of Interview With a Vampire which was followed shortly by Shadow of the Vampire.



We had a mild discussion of the weirdness of the existence of a Jacula movie, of which I have never seen and am scared to... and the sad state of affairs that is the Van Helsing movie (I'm a total dork it's ok, I know). All this bru-ha-ha about vampires and I still haven't read Dracula. It sits on my bookshelf alone and unread..... one day, if I ever finish this here epic novel about the history of South Africa (the Covenant)



That is a truly amazing piece of art work right there. the rest of them all look like this. You're welcome.

hmm.... what else of interest can I offer you?..... How about a little bit of the HaHa? enjoy My back hurts!

bed now.

Oh Lydia!

I'm having a hard time deciding what to call my photography business.... I'm amassing a list of ideas but have yet to like one enough to go with it. I'm 3 weeks into my business of photography class, I should have started on a business card and letterhead, yet I have no name and photoshop won't recognize any fonts I download. I don't want to have to learn new software for business cards and letterhead, if I wasn't in that class I'm just get a graphic designer to do it, but nooOoOoo, I had to go sign up for a class...



Aimee, looking dapper as usual...



shortly after I took this photo that guys cell phone started ringing...



and for something completely different, Rob played a private function, the opening of a Venezuelan eatery Arepa. more pics later.

I made a point

of doing something totally different after my last post, I made sure to take my camera with me when ever I went out. You will be seeing some of those photos soon!! but for now, here's a couple from a fund raiser for Gallery1313 (put on in partnership with IN MY BED magazine) I went to last week. The event was called Is Your Love Supernatural and was an entire evening dedicated to celebrating & exploring sex and the supernatural. Something totally different for me and I had a great time...

the latest holiday trends!!!!!

hi

meet Daisy



cuteness alert...





speaking of cute, check out Borris & his chair...

It's been a busy week so far and it looks like it's gonna stay that way, it's driving me a little batty. I'm not gonna lie, I'm looking forward to taking pictures that aren't of people I don't know in a studio... not that I'm not enjoying it, it just seems never ending at this point.

I've got a bunch of personal pics I need to sort through too, but my hand tends to cramp up after an hour or 2 of editing... so, whatchyagonnado?

so that's that. I'm officially up to date with school photos, though I am behind with personal photos... but don't tell anyone.

I'm now taking two photography classes, photography of people and the business of photography. My business photography homework is to start a template for my business' letterhead/logo. I have no idea where to start, I don't even have a name. I've just been noodling around with colour themes and am going to start a mock up tomorrow night... I hope.

I'm also thinking of booking more gigs for the new year and maybe one before Christmas (42 shopping days left).

'tis all for now I suppose....

Well, Halloween is over, our gig is over and my first people photography assignment is handed in, time for some rest!! I bought a new season of Buffy (5th), am for some reason going to check out the vampire diaries and have a date with comedy. So, it's off to the TV!

So I'm all caught up with my photo class, now I just have to get caught up with the blog...

Good times! Mitzi's Sister is always a great place to play or just hang out, it was great to see Joy playing music again, and it was nice to meet Mr. Evan Symons. Time to book another one now... hmm....

Thanks to the lovely Sandra for taking most of the above photos :)
