Heart of a River

I have much love for my new hood. And the Three Speed is my favorite bar in Toronto. So when I stumbled across this video I was very excited...

you just laugh, then you call him a man.

I enjoyed my summer review.

Here's a fall one for you, along with some musical accompaniment.

faces

fun with faces.









for my self directed project in my photography by design class I decided to do some Photoshop manipulation. I adjusted my lovely victim to meet the RF mask as well as to match Barbies facial proportions. I don't normally do a lot of Photoshoping, but it was fun> I've been doing a bit more, experimenting a bit, but I haven't gotten to heavily into the manipulation...

I'm starting to think I'm weirder than I had previously thought.

I got a new mask all y'all!

I haven't seen this movie but this video makes me want to.

I do this thing now too

for all your randomness needs please go here. lmkz.tumblr.com/ We'll see how long it lasts.

Back in school


for now... I have class until the end of Oct then I'm done the program.





Our teachers been giving us plenty of studio time to just play around, which of course is awesome.



I like playing around with the studio lights. I'm thinking of taking the fashion course in the new year just to get more experience with the lights.







The course I'm taking is called Photography By Design. It's basically about how to create your preconceived concepts through lighting and design. I've been enjoying it, it's fun and it's challenging. I have a couple projects due for the course, one's a photo montage and the other is a self directed study of anything I choose. I'm having a bit of a hard time deciding what I want to do, too many options I suppose. I started working on the montage, but didn't like the results, so I'm going to start all over again. The fun part of the montage is that is has to be printed out, not done digitally. CUTTING AND PASTING!!! I'm looking forward to both of them...

Back in the day I went to art school, drawing, painting all that stuff...




I've been doing a bit more painting lately and serendipitously an opportunity arose to hang a couple of my paintings at a friends art show/party. It's this Sat, Sept 11 at the The Aurelian.





Paintings not really my 'thing', but it's nice to be doing something, to be taking part in something out of the norm, my norm anyway. It has me feeling somewhat motivated...

hmmmmmm...
