366

For the new year I decided not to make any real goals. This year I am trying to do the "Photo a Day" thing. I have noticed that I am favoring my new iPhone for the images. The quality is lovely and I always have my phone with me. Aside from taking a picture everyday, I recently ordered all of Jane Austin's novels and intend to read all of them (some of them are re-reads but it should be something nice to read before bed).

1. I hung out with my sister in the afternoon as she and her boss made brunch.

10. I watched all of Trailer Park Boys, it was a non-stop sort of thing so I was just playing with the camera while watching.

12. I got the cutest new phone case from Bethany in the mail. I have not switched to it for day to day use because I am afraid of messing it up.

13. One of my teachers last semester published this book. It seemed too ridiculous not to buy.

14. I cut my own bangs, usually I do an alright job. This time I cut them too short.

15. Portland is the first place I have lived that it actually snows. I woke up and got dressed as fast as I could. It had stopped by the time I got outside but I still went for a short walk.

16. I realized how cold it is when it snows, made a pot of soup and stayed in my apartment for the last few days of break. I gazed out my window and drank lots of tea. I also watched a ton of movies and was overall just a lazy bum.

17. Today is the first day of the Spring Semester. I went to the post office to mail Bethany part of her Christmas present that I forgot to bring to California with me. while there I bought some handsom stamps.

A is for Ax





Busy week. Drew a self portrait. I am reshooting my digital project. I also started working on my Art in Context project.


So far I am done with one image. My idea is to create flashcards with images made of text that detail murder/death articles from the news.

The chosen one





Today I have focused on homework. Monday seems to be coming so fast. I have been taking photographs, reading, and working on a project proposal.


For the past two weeks I have been brain stroming. My assignment is to use text as art. Sounds easy, right? There are so many different things that I could do I am almost overwhelmed by the possibilities. So far the only thing I am certain about is that I will use a Polaroid as my canvas (but not necessarily present a photograph).


On Monday while walking in downtown I saw this knitted quilt thing hanging on the side of the building that read "You are the chosen one." I automatically thought of Harry Potter as I took a snap shot of it. After a minute I started relate the knitted quilt thing to my assignment. I came to the realization that I could simply use a saying to create something.


While I am still coming up with the details (which I need to present tomorrow) I will have another week to create whatever it is I make with a Polaroid.

I have been in Portland for a month now. So far I have gone to Voodoo Doughnuts to try the Bacon Maple Bar, went on a day trip to Astoria with my parents the first week I was in town, explored the Pearl district, went on a few MAX rides and started school.

All of my classes have been great so far, I am even enjoying my drawing class.

This blog is going to start actually being active (which is a little shocking) I will try to post about my schooling, current projects I am working on, even maybe some outfit posts.

So, why does this post exist? I guess as an inspirational tool to get me active with my updates.
