If anyone is interested, I have started a new blog to use while in college:

 NEW BLOG

I will discontinue post on this one after this. 

Pirate Fest 2012

 

Today I was going through old photos on my computer and discovered these. I never showed them to anyone and it made me realize that I want to share photos like these as well as my more fine art photographs. I haven't gotten around to making a new blog yet, but I plan to hopefully before the end of the school year. Anyway, these photos were from over the summer at Pirate Fest.

 



Just an Update

So.... I've been M.I.A. when it comes to this blog lately. For the last month and a half I've been dealing with a lot. I've been juggling AP classes, my grandmother in the hospital, putting together my portfolios for colleges, scholastic, and now exams. Which is a lot for me because I don't like to stress myself out but these are unavoidable and uncontrollable. Also, it's winter in Wisconsin and it has just put me in a really bad mood. I'm stressed and I've had trouble sleeping. I'm so uninspired and unmotivated. The weather is cold so I don't want to go outside and it's so dull outside.

I decided this blog wasn't what I wanted to be so I've been gathering the few pieces I've done lately and I plan on making a new blog. When I made this blog, I did it to try to get my work out there as well as keep track of and display my most recent work to help pick from for my portfolio. Now with that done I'm struggling between a more personal blog versus a more professional blog, just displaying my work and the idea behind it. I started to do that with this but I was impatient about posting work and writing about my work has always been difficult. I'm just not as proud of it as I want to be. So I'll post the link to the new blog when I get around to it, which will probably be after next week's exams. Thank you for viewing my blog. I appreciate every view I can get.

Holiday Beauty: Halloween

 

 

 

In all honestly, this one actually turned out better than I thought it would. I wanted the curls to be a lot tighter so I think I will redo it that way and then try to brush it so it's puffy and dramatic. My teacher recommended trying to make the hair stick out in some way. I'll playing around with that idea but I'm not sure if I'll incorporate it into the new photo or not...

Constellations

 

The Archer

When I was younger my mom bought me a constellation book. At the time it was one of my favorite books because the stars that made up the constellations were like stickers where you could peel the cover off but the sticky park was on the book. It came with these different colored glitter packets that you could then put on the stars. It was really a neat book. Anyway, the inspiration for this came from that. I have three of these photos done I just have to edit the other photos, so those will be up soon.

 

 

You've probably noticed that a lot of the photos I've posted lately are in circles or ovals. The reason for that is that I'm experimenting with using different shapes to present my photos and lately I've felt that the circles and ovals were what were appropriate for that photo. Such as with this one, I chose a circle since that is usually the shape of the constellation maps I've seen. 



Epcot

 

Another new series that I plan on adding too! This one is about places people have traveled and I wanted to project aerial views of the city/place on the traveler. So above is my brother with Epcot projected on him since we were at Disney World last month.



Holiday Beauty: Christmas

 

New series! I plan on buying and making pieces to place in hair with a common meaning. I'm starting with the holidays, the photo above is Christmas.
